"बच्चे स्कूल जाते हैं ।"

Translation: Children go to school.

[rationalrogu]

Shouldn't it be vidhyalay instead of school

[Zerenei]

Yeah but that's more formal talk now than anything else, to most people it sounds odd to speak pure Hindi, Hinglish is the accepted language nowadays. I speak pure Hindi though, I always use vidyalay, friends make fun of me for speaking that way though hehe

[christine722010]

How is that plural?

[Zerenei]

बच्चे means children, in the plural. Child singular would be बच्चा, making the sentence "बच्चा स्कूल जाता है" (The child goes to school.)

[AnnaliseSc16]

What's the difference between बच्चे and लड़के? Don't both mean children? Does one connote offspring whereas the other is kids in general?

[Apogeotou]

बच्चे means children/kids, लड़के means boys.

[susritha3]

Why don't we use kids inplace of children

[Amolika_ATEEZ]

Its the same

[ULF702944]

I wrote "the" children but it was not accepted. Duo says NO! I haven´t figured when to answer "the" xxx or just children or horse etc. Anyone educated enough to answer that question ?
