"सब दिल्ली में हैं।"

Translation: Everyone is in Delhi.

[Anand120046]

Could this also mean, Everything is in Delhi. ?

I suppose it can but it sounds a little unnatural. A better way of saying 'Everything is in Delhi' is सब कुछ दिल्ली में है

'All are in Delhi' should've been accepted

[toby746297]

Why isn't ”all of them are” accepted, it worked in a previous sentence ? Particularly as this sentence uses the plural ”hain”...

[vinay92]

"All of them are in Delhi" would be "वे सब दिल्ली में हैं।". Basically, 'सब' means everyone and when you qualify it with वे, you are talking about everyone from a particular set of people referenced earlier.

Thanks for that Vinay. It still leaves me confused that the Hindi sentence uses the plural but the translation is in the singular.

[vinay92]

That's because Hindi doesn't have an indefinite pronoun like 'everyone' that is singular but refers to a group of people. I suppose you could literally translate the Hindi sentence into 'All are in Delhi' though it sounds weird.

Edit: Came across my comment again and realised Hindi does have such a pronoun. It would be हर कोई.
हर कोई दिल्ली में है। - Everyone is in Delhi

What is the difference between "in" and "from"? I keep getting them mixed up.

[vinay92]

In = में (me)
From = से (se)

Thank you!

All is in Delhi should also be correct no?

[Shlok22]

No it is not
