This feels like one where "kha hota" should be right? Big animals do not eat grass (habitually), rather than The big animals do not eat The grass? Or am I wrong?
The होता है form for stating a general fact only applies to adjectives, for example बड़े जानवर डरावने होते हैं, "Big animals are (in general) scary". It doesn't work with verbs.
"Kha hota" would be wrong in any case , it's gramatical structure is wrong.
खाते हें is the (masculine plural) habitual form of खाना - if you use होते हें it's the habitual form of होना, 'elephants are/be [habitual, not used here in English] grass'. खा होते isn't anything.
It can be omitted with नहीं [verb], as long as the verb isn't है itself alone.
We can write it but generally while talking in hindi we dont say 'hai' every time when we are indicating someone's or any group's habit Hope this will help
Does anyone know how to type ड़ with google input tools? Or any other tool?
Notice where the ़ is, on the right of the first page. Then tap ड, and the ़ will have become ड़, tap it.
