Why does वह mean she here, even though I learned it can also mean he or that?

• he
• she
• that

In this sentence, the noun लड़की means girl, which is feminine, so the meaning becomes clear from context. That is why the sentence is understood as referring to she / that girl.

Why are both वह and लड़की used together?

When वह comes before a noun, it often works like that:

• वह लड़की = that girl

Depending on context, English might translate it as:

• that girl
• the girl
