"सब दिल्ली में हैं।"
Translation:Everyone 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
Why isn't ”all of them are” accepted, it worked in a previous sentence ? Particularly as this sentence uses the plural ”hain”...
"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.
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.
Main jantau Delhi is used too much. Y'all should add other cities like Lucknow aur Mumbai.
