earlier we were told that the correct answer to हाथी तैरता है। is 'the elephant is swimming' WHY WHY WHY????? HELP PLEASE!!!!!
No this sentence will always be 'The elephant swims' if you want to put it into continuous form, that's another sentence, i.e 'The elephant is swimming' = हाथी तैर रहा है

My confusion is that I thought this should be तैरती to agree with the gender of the subject/noun. What am I missing here?
हाथी is a masculine noun, hence तैरता. Not all nouns ending with ई are feminine, though majority are, occasionally there will be nouns that are opposite to the rule, like हाथी or आदमी both being masculine nouns. Or nouns like महिला being feminine.
I know how to speak hindi and started thia course for fun...and for a fact I know the aound of awimming in hindi (sorry I dont have hindi keyboard) is wrong...very wrong
How can I know if the word is like "हाथी तैरता है" So should I put The or only Elephant!!
