Questions & Answers about दमकल जल्दी आती है।
What exactly is दमकल?
दमकल is a noun used for a fire engine or fire brigade, depending on context. In simple learner sentences, it is often treated as a single noun meaning the fire engine.
Why is it आती and not आता?
Because दमकल is treated as a feminine singular noun here.
In Hindi, the main part of the verb in this kind of sentence agrees with the subject:
- masculine singular: आता है
- feminine singular: आती है
- plural: आते हैं or आती हैं, depending on gender
So with दमकल, Hindi uses आती है.
Why are both आती and है needed?
This is how the habitual present is built in Hindi:
- आती = the agreeing participle form
- है = the present-tense form of होना (to be)
Together, आती है means comes or does come.
In standard Hindi, leaving out है would usually sound incomplete in a sentence like this.
