Common mistakes

Not natural: India exports rice in Nepal.

Better: India exports rice to Nepal.

Use “to” for the country receiving the goods; “in” does not show their destination.

जिस देश में सामान भेजा जाता है, उसके पहले “to” आता है; “in” मंज़िल नहीं बताता।

Not natural: The company exports of cotton.

Better: The company exports cotton.

Use “export” as a verb directly before the goods; “exports of” is a noun phrase.

क्रिया के रूप में “exports” के बाद सीधे सामान का नाम आता है; “exports of” संज्ञा वाला प्रयोग है।
