Tears means tear - Plz. see explanation

Actually, अश्रु is a Sanskrit word, which is frequently used in Hindi leterature and poetry. Also, highly educated and sophisticated people use this word in their conversation but the common people use आँसू.

It lacks context but it appears that someone is explaining the others that अश्रु means आँसू

A tear means a tear-drop or tears mean tear-drops

As has been done in the case of Hindi, one would have to explain in English also as to what is a tear. And this can be done by giving an equivalent of the word a tear or tears i.e. a tear-drop or tear-drops.
Example sentence:

A lady sheds tears because of psychological pain that she experiences.

His story brought tears to her eyes.

The outpour of lachrymal ducts means tears.

अश्रु and आँसू are synonyms in Hindi, Nepali and some other languages. However, in the sentence given by the asker, it is better to translate them into two different terms in English as well. Unfortunately for English, it doesn't have much variety in the expression of this common phenomenon and impulse that everybody comes learnt in from the womb itself.
