Shouldn't there be another word after स्कूल indicating the same thing as the English word "to", just as "from" would be indicated by से ?
Second, can we use पुत्र instead of बेटा ?
I think that when negating a verb in Hindi, the word नहीं must go in front of the entire verb or verb phrase. So even if the verb consists of more than one word, as in the case of जाता है, the word नहीं must go in front of the whole phrase and become नहीं जाता है.
This contrasts the equivalent word "not" in English which goes in front of the main verb, but behind any auxiliary verbs in multi word verb phrases (i.e. "I do not go", "I will not go").
I entered 'school' and it rejected it. Paatashala is only accepted? When both should be correct
Two correct answers: मेरा बेटा स्कूल नहीं जाता है। मेरा बेटा स्कूल नहीं जाता। It's always so interesting to me that Hindi speakers sometimes leave off the है, and it is still perfectly grammatically correct!
@Frosty_25 meri comes in the gender of female and mera comes in the gender of male therefore from the given sentence beta means male / boy so for beta/masculine gender we need to use mera not meri if you choosed meri it is incorrect
School = स्कूल
स्कूल = आगत शब्द
जो शब्द विदेशी भाषा से हिंदी में आ गए हैं उन्हें आगत शब्द कहते हैं।
उदा: डाॅक्टर(Doctor), काॅलेज(College), मशीन(Machine) etc.
