"I come home at half past two."

Translation: मैं ढाई बजे घर आता हूँ।

Why is it बजे and not बजा?

[zeebo7]

It's always बजे when referring to a time, even एक बजे. I'm not sure when बजा would be used. Maybe a Hindi speaker could shed some light on this.

[OJFord]

I'm not a native speaker, but बजे here is an adverb; so it doesn't decline, it's not a plural of 'बजा' (which is an inflection of the verb). For it to be a verb here you'd have to rephrase it to be something like 'I come home when it is [hitting] half past two': '... बज रहा है'।

[harishabbe2]

Baja is not used. baje is used as ek baje do baje. Kitne baje hain ( what's the time). Tum kitne baje sote ho ( at what time do you sleep)...etc...

[shalini767469]

There is no ghar in it isme likha hai ki mai dhai baje ata ho but the ghar ata ho is not mentioned

ढाई बजे मैं घर आती हूँ . What is wrong in this sentence? Please help me.

[OJFord]

It might be fine colloquially (or not, I don't know) - but generally the subject comes first, so, as in the given answer, 'मैं डाई बजे...' - ordered like a 'subordinate clause' in English: 'I, at half-past two, come home'.

Same as the way we've seen हर दिन used in other lessons' sentences.

Why not घर को?

[OJFord]

आना & जाना don't need any explicit marker of 'to' what like in English, just घर आता/जाता alone means comes/goes home.
