"Peacocks do not fly."

Translation: मोर नहीं उड़ते।

[ScottKBeck]

This statement is not actually true FYI. Peafowl can and do fly, just not far. They can fly up into a tree or onto a roof top and cross a field.

This was going to be my comment!

[samanthaal777214]

True. I know because i keep finding them on my damn roof

[Blaster886182]

True

[CarolineQu832658]

Correct. And when they fly it is an amazing sight.

Why doesn't the sentence end with Hain?

[zeebo7]

है/हैं is not necessarily, and generally omitted, in negative sentences.

[AmiSUBHAM]

Yes , but not all the time .There is no rule in hindi to do so and even it could be more familiar if you add हैं in this sentence.

[AmiSUBHAM]

You can add the word " hain -हैं " here and It's more familiar.

[elfulton2]

More familiar meaning less formal? It seems like I see "hain" included in the Duolingo examples mostly when the plural form would be unclear from the rest of the sentence alone. Is that also a common usage?

[Karl146062]

Wouldn't मोर नहीं उड़ते होते हैं be more appropriate because the statement applies more broadly?

[shradharana]

मोर नहिं उदते होत हैं is wrong hindi grammar

[Translingual]

Isn't मयूर also used in Hindi to refer to a peacock? I reported it.

[Aishwarya411]

मयूर एक संस्कृत शब्द है, सामान्यतः हम अपने वाक्यों में 'मोर' शब्द ही प्रयुक्त करते हैं|

Comment section is fun to read as always ^ω^

[SheilaDavi1]

YOu don't need hai when the verb is negative?

[Sruthi997246]

Dont we use 'hi' in the ending? Peococks is plural but mor is singular ?
