The final episode of The Big Bang Theory aired months ago, but fans are still poring over the hit series in the hopes of discovering overlooked parts of the show.

Since the 12th season aired, a number of continuity errors have emerged, with the latest involving a plot hole based around Rajesh Koothrappali.

In the show, Raj goes from speaking Hindi to later confessing that he has never taken the time to learn the language.

In season one, he is shown thinking in Hindi while Penny (Kaley Cuoco) talks at him. However, jumping to season 10, Raj is seen telling Sheldon (Jim Cooper) that he didn't manage to learn.

This is then undermined when Raj successfully translates Ruchi's (Swati Kapila) comments to Howard Wolowitz (Simon Helberg) as she comments on the cricket.

Fans on Reddit posted about the error, with one writing: "In an earlier episode of The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon speaks Hindi. Raj then asks him what it means because 'he's never learnt Hindi'.

"Fast-forward to a while later when Howard, Raj and Ruchi are watching cricket and Raj completely translates what Ruchi said from Hindi to English!! A plot hole, it is."
