माँ टिफ़िन तैयार करती हैं।

Because this is a very common Hindi verb pattern:

• करती = the main verb part, showing habitual action and agreeing with the subject
• हैं = the auxiliary verb, roughly the present-tense helper verb

So तैयार करती हैं means prepares / does prepare in the habitual present.

This structure is normal in Hindi:

• वह काम करता है = He works / He does work
• माँ टिफ़िन तैयार करती हैं = Mother prepares tiffin

Because माँ is feminine.

In the habitual present, the main verb agrees in gender and number with the subject:

• करता = masculine singular
• करती = feminine singular

So:

• पिता काम करते हैं = Father works
• माँ काम करती हैं = Mother works

Here, माँ is feminine, so करती is required.

This is because Hindi often uses plural agreement as a sign of respect.

For close family members such as माँ, speakers commonly use respectful verb forms:

• less respectful/neutral singular: माँ टिफ़िन तैयार करती है
• respectful: माँ टिफ़िन तैयार करती हैं

Both refer to one mother, but हैं sounds more respectful and natural in many contexts.

The expression तैयार करना means to prepare / to get ready / to make ready.

So टिफ़िन तैयार करती हैं means:

• prepares the tiffin
• gets the lunch ready
• depending on context, packs the lunchbox

It is a very natural expression in Hindi.

In Indian English and Hindi, टिफ़िन usually refers to:

• a lunchbox, or
• the food packed in it, or
• a light meal, depending on context

In this sentence, it most likely means the lunch/lunchbox being prepared to take along.

It is a borrowed word, and its meaning in South Asian usage is more specific than in most modern English varieties.

Both can work, but they are not exactly identical.

• बनाती हैं = makes
• तैयार करती हैं = prepares / gets ready

With टिफ़िन, तैयार करती हैं often suggests the whole process of getting it ready—packing it, arranging it, making sure it is ready to go.

So the sentence may feel slightly broader than just cooks or makes.

The basic Hindi word order here is:

Subject + Object + Verb

So:

• माँ = subject
• टिफ़िन = object
• तैयार करती हैं = verb phrase

This is typical Hindi word order. English usually prefers Subject + Verb + Object, but Hindi usually places the verb at the end.

Hindi does not use articles like a or the.

Also, Hindi often leaves possession understood from context. So माँ can mean:

• mother
• my mother
• the mother

depending on the situation.

In a normal conversation, माँ टिफ़िन तैयार करती हैं would often be understood as Mother prepares the tiffin or My mother prepares the tiffin.

A simple pronunciation guide:

• माँ ≈ maã
  The vowel is nasalized. It sounds like maa with air also coming through the nose.

• हैं ≈ hain / haĩ
  This is also nasalized in standard pronunciation.

The nasal mark is important:

• माँ = mother
• मा would not sound the same

It normally describes a habitual or regular action.

The form करती हैं is the habitual present, so it usually means:

• Mother prepares tiffin
• Mother usually prepares tiffin
• Mother gets the lunch ready

If you wanted to say she is doing it right now, Hindi would normally use a different form, such as:

• माँ टिफ़िन तैयार कर रही हैं। = Mother is preparing the tiffin.

Yes, very often.

Hindi frequently drops subjects when they are clear from context. So in conversation, someone might simply say:

• टिफ़िन तैयार करती हैं।

If everyone already knows you are talking about माँ, the subject does not have to be repeated.

But in a standalone learning sentence, including माँ makes the meaning clearer.
