I may have had a lightbulb moment. आना = to come, am I correct? ना makes it "to" come.
Good job! Yes, if you add ना to a word, it becomes 'to' Eg, आना to come, खाना to eat (though it also means food), सोना to sleep etc. But let me tell yu one thing, if solely ना is used, it means no, as it's also an abbreviated version of नहीं But since you're learning the standard hindi and not conversational hindi right now, you can kinda not care about this abbreviation.
ना is used more than nahi in conversational Hindi though
That is also correct.
But note that the given form (with 'pasand' as an adjective) is used a lot more than this (with 'pasand karna' as a compound verb).
I think it's because the pronoun here is an indirect object that has to be in the oblique case and वह is not suitable for that. You can think of the literal translation as "to her going to Delhi is pleasing".
To be honest I still don't understand but thank you for your answer !
What MikeZraly means is that दिल्ली आना is the subject here and उसे is an indirect object of the verb पसंद है. It is like saying in English Going to Delhi appeals to her. If you know some German, it would be Es gefällt ihr, nach Delhi zu kommen.
