Yaaaa

Cats are lovely but the sentence is talking about one specific cat, that is, one owned by Neha. As cats have personalities, it isn't too much to imagine one cat being a naughty so-and-so.

I tried stretching this one and saying "Neha's cat is very naughty." It was rejected, and I'm sure there's a word in Hindi that actually carries the nuance of "naughty", so I can accept that this should be translated straight as "bad" like the lesson indicates.


If that's not the case and I was actually (arguably) right, somebody let me know.

Naughty is generally बदमाश

[vinay92]

Only in certain contexts (if you are talking to a very young child for example). बदमाश actually has more negative connotations otherwise.

शरारती or नटखट is a closer translation to naughty.

We used to be able to translate बुरा as evil in Duolingo. Is there also another word for evil?

[Muraka3]

I remember Neha's cat is Raj. So, Raj is very bad. https://forum.duolingo.com/comment/28074357
