"Does he ever come?"

Translation: क्या वह कभी आता है?

[Deepa912779]

Could we say humesha instead of kabi?

[NateSnade]

Wouldn't that be "does he always come"?

[kivz12]

The pronunciation of अब is incorrect (although it's not part of the answer)

Could we say humesha instead of kabhi?

[ArMaX331]

"Hamesha" means always. "Kabhi" means "ever"or "sometimes". The meaning is somewhat similar but
As "Kabhi" is used, the sentence is in negative , as in a negative sentence in english. If we use "hamesha" instead of "kabhi" it's literal translation would be . Does he always come? The meaning is same , but the literal translation is different.

I don't get when kub and when kubhi. Is there a rule?

[ArMaX331]

1)"khub" means "very" or "plenty".
E.g.- "I like you very much."or"I like you plenty".
Hindi translation-
"Aap muje khub pasand ho."

2) "Kabhi" means "ever" or "sometimes".
E.g.- "I do not ever have money."(do not ever can be substituted for don't ever, and that to never. So the alternate example can be.)
"I never have money"
Hindi translation-
"mere paas kabhi bhi pese nahi rehte"

P.s.
Sorry if if this doesn't help.or gets too tedious to understand.
I tried to be correct and succinct.

क्या वह आता है कभी?
Can anyone please tell me what is wrong with this expression? As opposed to
क्या वह कभी आता है?

[kori878518]

The verb (hai) needs to be last.

[ArMaX331]

The grammar structure is wrong. Adverb "kabhi" should be before the verb "aata".

[Gili838461]

I think Does he ever come? has a different sentiment to it (criticism) than Does he come sometimes? (Khabhi)
And a totally different meaning than Does he always come? (Hameshaa).
So how to convey the real meaning of ever?

@vinay92 to the rescue please:)
