Learn to tell your name in Marathi :
“Give a man chance to talk and he will always talk about himself.”
We are desperate to share random bits of information about ourselves. Our thoughts, habits, emotions, needs, wants, wishes, fantasies …….. It is hard-wired into our brains. We are more interested in our lives than anyone else’s. No doubt, personal pronouns are most commonly used words in a language we speak and they shall be first words we must learn while learning a new language.
Marathi personal pronouns are nothing but replacements for English I, My and Me.
मी गब्बर आहे(mee gabbar ahe) |
मै गब्बर हूँ | | I am Gabbar. |
मी बसंती आहे.(mee basanti ahe) |
मै बसंती हूँ | | I am Basanti . |
मी कालिया आहे.(mee kaaliya ahe) |
मै कालिया हूँ | | I am Kaliya . |
मी सांभा आहे.(mee saambha ahe) |
मै सांभा हूँ | | I am Sambha. |
Since time unknown, people have been possessive with the things they belong . ( Hey , This is my cave and my wife …..you go away ) . Who doesn’t like claiming an ownership over things around us ? We use possessive adjecitve for this purpose . English has only one first person possessive adjective “ My “. Marathi has 3 – माझा ,माझी ,माझे . Hindi has 3 –मेरा ,मेरी ,मेरे . Even French has 3- Mon/Ma/Mes. The one you use depends on the gender of the following noun.
Have a look at the table below.
Masculine |
माझा हातmaazaa haat |
मेरा हाथ | My hand |
Feminine |
माझी गाडीmaazi gaadi |
मेरी गाडी | My vehicle |
Neuter |
माझे नावmaaze naav |
मेरा नाम | My name |
Plural |
माझे कपडेmaaze kapde |
मेरे कपडे | My clothes |
Honor |
माझे बाबाmaaze baabaa |
मेरे पिताजी | My Dad |
In Marathi , Shah Rukh Khan would say :
मी शाह रुख खान आहे .(mee shaah rukh khaan ahe) |
मै शाह रुख खान हूँ | |
I am Shah Rukh Khan. |
मी डॉन आहे.(mee don ahe) |
मै डॉन हूँ | | I am Don. |
माझे नाव खान आहे .(maze naav khaan ahe ) |
मेरा नाम खान है | | My name is Khan. |
मी भारतीय आहे. (mee bhartiya ahe) | मै भारतीय हूँ | | I am an Indian. |

Hi my Marathi friends tell me Majhe naav ____ aahe is wrong and it should actually be Majha naav _____ aahe. Can you explain?
Yes, while speaking, native marathi speakers give stress on the last letter. “maajha” not “maajhaa” is actually a shortned way to say “maaze”. There is nothing wrong if you say maajhe nav abhimanyu aahe.
Majhe Naav Salim aahe…. Me Bhartiya Aahe….

mee abhinav aahe …..hahaha
me ayushi ahe
This is wonderful
majhe naav raghavendra aahe
why is there “maze” with “naav”, is it an execption?
maaze naav means my name
what i feel that it should be, “maaza naav” and not “maaze naav”
no, it can’t ’cause naav(name) is a neuter gender. that’s why its “maaze naav”
nice traing
maaza naav avadhani ahe
majhe naav amir khan aahe
maaze naav gunjan aahe

thank u
Hi vidhya,
you are almost right except a few corrections. See the correct sentences below.
मी विद्या आहे
माझ्या बाबांचे नाव सुंदरम आहे
माझ्या आईचे नाव सुलोचना आहे
माझा मुलगा एकवीस वर्षाचा आहे
Hey Akshay,
I find these tutorials really good. Kudos!
I have a doubt: If माझे is equivalent to मेरे in Hindi, then why do we say माझे नाव instead of माझा नाव ?
माझे नाव आशिष रास्ते आहे
Hi Ashish,
mere which is equivalent to maaze is for plural nouns.
mere kapde = maaze kapde
Neuter gender does not exist in Hindi. so Naam is masculine and hence we use mera naam.
Hope I made you point clear.
Yes, you clarified it!
Didn’t know that maajhe in Marathi can be used in plural as well as neuter forms.
Thanks!
nice
it really rocks m learning marathi through it…:DDD

I liked it… Nice quiz for beginners
why is it that you say :
amitabh majhe baba aahet
but
jaya majhi aai aahe.
why difference between aahe and aahet in these sentences?
if you know Hindi it is like saying”
aap mere papa ho
tum meri maa ho.
Usually for father, honorific pronouns are used.
majha naaw sudama ahe…
मी चिराग आहे, माझा नाव चिराग आहे, माझा भाऊ नाव गौरव आहे…..
Mi bhavna aahey, majha naav bhavna aahey, majhe bhai naav varun aahey

Could anyone can explain this in English? Thank you in advance.
“गाडी मिरवणाऱ्या श्रीमंत पेक्षा झोपडीत हसणाऱ्या गरीबाकडे पहावं आयुष्य जास्त सुंदर वाटत.
नशिबाची चाकरी करण्यापेक्षा कर्तृत्वाला आपल्या हाताखाली बाळगाव आयुष्य जास्त सुंदर बनत.
भविष्याचे चित्र काढण्यापेक्षा वर्तमानातल पूर्ण कराव भूतकालातल रंगवून पहावं आयुष्य जास्त सुंदर वाटत.
कायमच मागण्या करण्यापेक्षा कधीतरी काहीतरी देऊन पहावं आयुष्य जास्त सुंदर वाटत.
हरल्यावर एकटेच पश्चात्ताप करण्यापेक्षा मित्राच्या खांद्यावर रडून पहावं आयुष्य नक्कीच सुंदर वाटत.
चारचौघात एकट बसण्यापेक्षा कधी कधी समुद्रकिनाऱ्यावर आठवणींना घेऊन बसावं आयुष्य जास्त सुंदर वाटत.
आपल्याला कोण हवंय यापेक्षा आपण कोणाला हवंय हे सुद्धा कधीतरी पहावं आयुष्य जास्त सुंदर वाटत.
आकाशातले तारे कधीच मोजून होत नाहीत माणसाच्या गरजा कधीच संपत नाहीत शक्य तेवढे तारे मोजून समाधानी रहावं आयुष्य जास्त सुंदर वाटत..!”
Life is more beautiful when you observe a smiling poor man instead of a rich driving his car
Life is more beautfiul in doing your duty instead of remaining slave to your fate
Life is more beautiful when you finish your present first, color your past instead of paining(thinking) of the future
Life is more beautiful when you give something instead of constantly putting up demands
LIfe is more beautiful if you cry on your friends shoulder after loosing instead of staying alone and repenting
Life is more beautiful if you sit on a beach someday with sweet memories instead of sitting alone in the crowd
Life is more beautiful if you give importance to people who need you than to people you need
Stars in the sky are countless and so are the human demands. Keep your demands in limit and stay content and your life is beautiful
why there is Maaze naav Hritik aahe.
it should be Maaza naav Hritik aahe instead..
(Maaze = mere ; Maaza= mera)
because “name” is neuter in marathi
है and हूं both mean आहे ?
yes
does it cost to take online classes for marathi
on this website….it is free.
माझा नाव संगीता आहे…!!!
Majha naav Ravi aahe..

The word ‘Name’ is singular. Then, why do we use ‘majhe’ with it, and not ‘majha’?
Yes. It is singular but has neuter gender…so “maaze” is used
What is the difference between ‘ahe’ and ‘ahes’… and where do we use which?
I am = me aahe
You are = tu aahes
aahes is used for second person pronouns in singular case.
मी गोपी आहे ,

Sir ek confusion hai…maza=mera & maze=mere to jaise humlog hindi me bolte hain mera naam Devendu hai isko marathi me Maza naav Devendu aahe bolna chahiye na??? maze naav kyun bolte hain?
because ‘naav’ is a neuter noun in Marathi. Hence ‘maaze’.
In hindi ‘naam’ is masculine noun, hence ‘meraa’.
mee Alem ahe
mee manju aahe; om sai ram just praying baba bless us all
majhe naav nirbhay ahe.
