Which one of the following is the most appropriate English translation of the given sentence ?
आप क्यों आ रहे हो ?
Answer: B
The correct translation is Why are you coming ?
The Hindi sentence asks the reason someone is coming. In an English wh-question the question word comes first and the auxiliary verb comes before the subject (inversion): Why + are + you + coming.
'Why you are coming' keeps statement word order, which is acceptable only inside a larger sentence ('Tell me why you are coming'). 'Are you coming for why' and 'You are coming why' are word-for-word renderings that are not grammatical English.
