Questions & Answers about यह गोली खाना खाने के बाद लेनी है।

Why does खाना appear twice in खाना खाने के बाद?

Because the two forms are doing different jobs.

• The first खाना means food / a meal.
• The second खाने comes from the verb खाना = to eat, and here it means eating in the phrase के बाद = after.

So खाना खाने के बाद literally feels like after eating food.

In natural English, you would usually just say after eating or after a meal, but Hindi often uses this fuller expression very naturally.

Could you also say just खाने के बाद?

Yes. खाने के बाद is also correct and very common.

So both can work:

• खाने के बाद = after eating
• खाना खाने के बाद = after eating food / after having a meal

The longer version can sound a little more explicit. In medicine instructions, it often suggests after a proper meal, not just after tasting something small.
