रेफ़री अंक देता है।

A word-by-word breakdown is:

• रेफ़री = referee
• अंक = points / marks
• देता = gives (masculine singular habitual form of देना, to give)
• है = is; here it helps form the present habitual tense

So the structure is literally something like Referee points gives = The referee gives points.

Hindi normally prefers Subject–Object–Verb order, while English usually uses Subject–Verb–Object.

So:

• रेफ़री = subject
• अंक = object
• देता है = verb

That is why Hindi says:

• रेफ़री अंक देता है।

instead of an English-like order such as रेफ़री देता है अंक, which would sound unnatural in normal Hindi.

In Hindi, the present habitual is often made with:

• a habitual participle: देता / देती / देते
• plus a form of होना (to be): here है

So:

• देता है = gives / does give / usually gives

This is a very common pattern in Hindi.

Examples:

• वह पढ़ता है। = He reads / He studies.
• वह खेलता है। = He plays.

So देता है is not two separate actions. Together they make the tense.

देता is the masculine singular form.

In this sentence, the subject रेफ़री is being treated as masculine singular, so the verb agrees with it:

• रेफ़री अंक देता है। = The referee gives points.
  (male referee, or masculine/default reference)

If the referee were female, you would usually say:

• रेफ़री अंक देती है।

So the choice between देता and देती depends on the gender of the subject.

In this sentence, the verb is in the habitual present, not the perfective. In this kind of sentence, the verb normally agrees with the subject.

So:

• subject = रेफ़री
• object = अंक
• verb agrees with subject → देता है

This is different from some perfective sentences in Hindi, where agreement can work differently.

For example:

• रेफ़री ने अंक दिए। = The referee gave points.

There, because of the perfective structure with ने, agreement patterns change.

Not usually.

देता है normally means the habitual/simple present:

• gives
• does give
• usually gives

If you want is giving right now, Hindi usually uses the progressive:

• रेफ़री अंक दे रहा है। = The referee is giving points.
• रेफ़री अंक दे रही है। = The referee is giving points. (female)

So देता है is more like a regular action or general statement, not an action happening at this exact moment.

अंक here is a direct object, and Hindi often does not use को with inanimate or non-specific direct objects.

So:

• रेफ़री अंक देता है। = normal

Using को here would usually sound unnatural in this basic sentence.

Very roughly:

• को is often used with specific people, animate objects, or certain definite/direct objects
• but many ordinary objects appear without को

Since अंक means points/marks, no को is needed here.

Here अंक means points, marks, or score units, depending on context.

Examples:

• in a game: points
• in grading: marks

In this sentence, because of रेफ़री, the most natural meaning is points.

Also, अंक is one of those Hindi nouns whose direct singular and direct plural can look the same in form, so context helps you understand whether it means a point or points.

It is a loanword from English referee, written in Devanagari as रेफ़री.

Hindi uses many borrowed words, especially for modern jobs, sports, technology, and official terms.

So this is completely normal Hindi:

• रेफ़री
• डॉक्टर
• बस
• ट्रेन

Borrowed words are very common in everyday Hindi.

It is pronounced roughly like referee, adapted to Hindi sounds:

• रे = re
• फ़ = f
• री = ree

So approximately: re-fa-ree or re-fe-ree, depending on accent.

A rough learner-friendly transliteration is:

• refarī / referee

The dot under फ़ shows the f sound. Without that dot, फ is traditionally closer to an aspirated ph, though in modern speech many people may pronounce it similarly.

Hindi does not have articles like English a/an/the.

So रेफ़री can mean:

• the referee
• a referee

The exact meaning depends on context.

That is very normal in Hindi. You often have to get definiteness from the situation rather than from a separate word.

A very common past version would be:

• रेफ़री ने अंक दिए। = The referee gave points.

Notice the changes:

• ने appears after the subject in this perfective transitive sentence
• दिए agrees with अंक because of the perfective structure

Compare:

• Present habitual: रेफ़री अंक देता है।
• Perfective past: रेफ़री ने अंक दिए।

This is an important pattern in Hindi grammar.

In standard full sentences, है is usually included.

So the normal sentence is:

• रेफ़री अंक देता है।

If you drop है, it may sound incomplete, poetic, very colloquial, or dependent on context. For a learner, it is best to keep है in this kind of sentence.

If the subject becomes plural, the verb changes too:

• रेफ़री अंक देते हैं। = The referees give points.

Here:

• देते = masculine plural / mixed-gender plural habitual form
• हैं = plural form of is/are

If all the referees are female, you would usually say:

• रेफ़री अंक देती हैं।

Yes, that is exactly what देता है often suggests.

It can mean things like:

• The referee gives points.
• A referee gives points.
• The referee usually gives points.

So this form is commonly used for:

• habits
• regular actions
• general truths
• job-related actions

That is why it works well in a sentence describing what a referee does.
