Questions & Answers about पिता यहाँ हैं।

What does each word in पिता यहाँ हैं। mean?

• पिता = father
• यहाँ = here
• हैं = are / is in this kind of sentence

So the sentence literally looks like Father here are, but the natural English meaning is Father is here or My father is here, depending on context.

Why does the sentence use हैं instead of है if पिता means just one father?

This is one of the most common questions learners ask.

Even though पिता refers to one person, Hindi often uses plural/honorific agreement for respected people. Since father is normally treated respectfully, हैं is used instead of है.

So:

• पिता यहाँ हैं। = respectful, natural
• पिता यहाँ है। = grammatically possible in a purely non-honorific sense, but it sounds unnatural or disrespectful for father

This is similar to how Hindi often treats elders and respected people with plural forms.

Is पिता a formal word?

Yes. पिता is fairly formal and standard.

Common alternatives are:

• पापा = dad, papa
• बाबूजी = respectful, traditional in some families/regions
• = father, but this can sound rough or less polite depending on context
