पशु चिकित्सक पशु चिकित्सालय में काम करते हैं।

Literally, पशु means animal, and चिकित्सक means doctor / medical practitioner / healer.

So पशु चिकित्सक is literally animal doctor, which is the standard Hindi way to say veterinarian / vet.

Because it is part of two different compound expressions:

• पशु चिकित्सक = veterinarian
• पशु चिकित्सालय = veterinary hospital/clinic

So the sentence is not repeating the same full word for no reason. It is using two related terms:

• the person who treats animals
• the place where animals are treated

It is a compound word:

• पशु = animal
• चिकित्सालय = hospital, clinic, place of treatment

So पशु चिकित्सालय means animal hospital, veterinary clinic, or veterinary hospital.

A helpful pattern is that -आलय / -ालय often refers to a place or institution.

में is a postposition meaning in, inside, or at depending on context.

So:

• पशु चिकित्सालय में = in the veterinary hospital / at the veterinary clinic

Hindi uses postpositions instead of English-style prepositions.
That means the word comes after the noun, not before it.

So English says:

• in the clinic

Hindi says:

• clinic in → चिकित्सालय में

Because काम करना is the normal Hindi expression for to work.

It is made of:

• काम = work
• करना = to do

Together:

• काम करना = to do work / to work

In this sentence, करते हैं is the correctly inflected form for a plural or respectful subject in the habitual present.

So:

• काम करते हैं = work / do work

Because the subject is understood as plural: veterinarians.

Hindi often shows number and gender through the verb. Here:

• करता है = masculine singular
• करती है = feminine singular
• करते हैं = masculine plural, mixed-gender plural, or respectful singular

Since the sentence means Veterinarians work in a veterinary hospital, the verb is plural:

• काम करते हैं

Also, चिकित्सक itself can look the same in singular and plural, so the verb helps tell you the meaning.

Yes. It is in the habitual/simple present.

काम करते हैं here means something like:

• work
• do work
• generally work

It describes a general fact or regular activity, not necessarily something happening right this second.

If you wanted are working right now, Hindi would usually use the progressive:

• काम कर रहे हैं

So:

• काम करते हैं = work / usually work
• काम कर रहे हैं = are working

Because Hindi normally follows Subject–Object/Other elements–Verb word order, with the verb usually coming at the end.

This sentence is structured like:

• पशु चिकित्सक = subject
• पशु चिकित्सालय में = location
• काम करते हैं = verb

So the order is very natural in Hindi:

• Veterinarians in the veterinary hospital work

That sounds odd in English, but it is normal in Hindi.

Because Hindi does not normally use articles the way English does.

So Hindi often leaves this unspecified, and English adds a, an, or the depending on context.

That means पशु चिकित्सालय में could be understood as:

• in a veterinary hospital
• in the veterinary hospital
• at a veterinary clinic

The exact English article depends on the situation, not on a separate Hindi word.

Not as it is normally understood here.

Because the verb is करते हैं, the sentence naturally reads as plural or sometimes respectful singular. In this kind of basic example, it is understood as plural:

• Veterinarians work in a veterinary hospital

For one male veterinarian, you would usually say:

• पशु चिकित्सक पशु चिकित्सालय में काम करता है।

For one female veterinarian:

• पशु चिकित्सक पशु चिकित्सालय में काम करती है।

So the verb form is the main clue.

Not necessarily. चिकित्सक is often used as a general word for doctor/practitioner, and in many contexts it can refer to a person of any gender. The verb and context usually make the gender clear.

For example:

• काम करता है = male singular
• काम करती है = female singular

So even if the noun stays the same, the verb can show gender.

A rough pronunciation guide is:

• पशु = páshu or puh-shoo
• चिकित्सक = chi-kit-sak
• चिकित्सालय = chi-kit-saa-lay
• में = mein (nasalized; somewhat like mayn)
• काम = kaam
• करते हैं = kar-tay hain

A few points:

• चि sounds like chi
• कित्स in चिकित्सक can feel a little tricky because of the consonant cluster
• हैं is nasalized

The exact pronunciation will vary a bit by speaker, but these approximations are good for learners.

In everyday speech, especially in urban or bilingual contexts, some speakers may use English-based words like वेट or वेट डॉक्टर informally. But पशु चिकित्सक is the standard and more formal Hindi term.

So if you are learning textbook or standard Hindi, पशु चिकित्सक is the better form to know.
