"नाना सेब नहीं खाते ।"

Translation: Grandfather does not eat apples.

[superflytnt007]

How come it wouldn't be grandfather does not eat the apple?

[yasaswi16]

Because it is खाते

[superflytnt007]

I thought it had to be plural because of the respect factor.

How would one write in Hindi (devanagari) - "Grandfather does not eat the apple."

[SmartCat...]

I guess it depends on the context, if im right.

[glimmy]

why खाते and not खाता ?

[Aakhil6]

The plural verb is used to show respect for the subject because the subject is Grandfather.

[ptr838573]

Same doubt

[smitsmehta]

Shouldn't नाना be maternal grandfather and not 'grandfather.?

[Ashmi_here]

नाना- Maternal grandfather

नानी- Maternal Grandmother

दादा- Paternal grandfather

दादी- Paternal grandmother

Hope that helped!

[zeebo7]
