In hindi मेहनत means hard work

[SLakhani1]

To me it seems like this sentence means that "Peter does work". Wondering how we would know from this sentence that peter works hard?

[vinay92]

मेहनत means something close to 'hard work'. So, the literal translation is 'Peter does hard work'='Peter works hard'.
As milkixmochi says, 'Peter does work' is "पीटर काम करता है" where काम is 'work'.

[milkixmochi]

If it was peter does work , it would've been "पीटर काम करता है " but its peter works "hard" . Due to the input of that word its being said as "मेहनत"
