"वह घर बेहतर है ।"

[amplifymysound1]

soo, who came up with the word better first? im surprised it sounds just like english.

[AndrNordin1]

They sound very similar indeed, but बेहतर is a Persian loanword. I guess it is just a linguistical coincidence :)

[WlO5L3b4]

Its not a coincidence bec Persian is related to Indic languages. Persian is an indo european language and has many words that are identical exp bad=bad, brother=broder, mother=moder and countless more

From what ive read they're not cognate, the hindi one probably comes from farsi roots which stems from one PIE word while 'better' has it's probable roots in a different word

"that is a better house" should also be accepted, shouldn't it?

[KyleDelane6]

So बेहत sounds like बैत ?

You not say me because I'm Indian

[MelanieKhbsrt]

That home is better. That house is better. No difference at all. Both should be accepted

Sometimes Voh means Him or Her in other exercises. Why can't this be translated as "His house is better."

I think वह can mean he (subject) but not his (possessive)
