'है' (hai) is singular, while 'हैं' (hain) is plural or used for respectful/honorific address.
'है' is a verb (is), while 'ही' is an emphatic particle meaning 'only' or 'just'.
Notes d'usage
In Hindi, the verb 'है' almost always comes at the end of the sentence. It agrees with a singular third-person subject like 'वह' (he/she/it) or a singular noun.
Erreurs courantes
Learners often forget the nasalization dot when referring to elders, using 'है' instead of the respectful plural 'हैं'. They also occasionally place it before the noun, following English word order.

Modèles grammaticaux
Contexte culturel
While 'है' is grammatically correct for any singular subject, using the plural 'हैं' for a singular person is a mandatory sign of respect (Aap/Respectful address).
