"वह दौड़ रहा है ।"

Translation: He is running.

[lettenician]

This is confusing. Why is रहा in there at all? Why isn't it just वह दौड़ है

[_jesuisbrun_]

रहा is for the present continuous. "वह दौड़ है" would translate to "That is (the) run/race", which you might say while pointing to a racetrack.

"He runs" would be "वह दौड़ता है"

"He is running" would be "वह दौड़ रहा है"

वह दौङ है। it doesn't make any sense. "रहा है" is the "ing" part of the sentence. If you say in English "he is run" ( without ing ) it doesn't mean anything. Same in hindi, if you drop "रहा " that will be meaningless without "रहा "
HTH....

[HarishAbbe3]
