3 Availability - 'to get, to find'

Besides meaning 'to meet', मिलना milna also means 'to be available',and is the normal way to express the meaning 'to get, to find, to receive'. The subject here is not the person who gets or receives something, but the thing that's available or received.

इस दुकान में अच्छे जुटे मिलते हैं.
is dukan me acche jute milte hai. You can get good shoes in this shop. (Good shoes are available in this shop.)

दिल्ली में सब कुछ मिलता है .
dilli mesab kuch milta hai.
You can get everything in Delhi.
हठी भी मिलते हैं .
hathi bhi milte hain!
You can even find elephants!

Notice that the sense of 'you' in 'you can get' is dropped, because the situation's an impersonal one, describing general availability.

सस्ते कपडे कहाँ मिलते हैं ?
saste kapde kahan milte hai? Where can you get cheap clothes?
अच्छी सदिय मिलती हैं ?
