What is the difference between “माझ्या आई” and “माझे आई”?
माझे आई is incorrect.
My mother is माझी आई.
but when you say My mother’s name you’ll have to say माझ्या आईचे नाव.
Hope you got it.
I was wondering why didn’t we use mazya patni or mazya mulgi?? why are they mazi patni and mazi mulgi? tia
unless there is a postposition in front of the noun, possessive pronouns will not be modified.
example : maazi patni = My wife
maazyaa patni sathi = For my wife
In previous lessons you said Tho- he Thi- she and The-It
But here for “He works in Bank Of India” ,you have written “ते बँक ऑफ इंडिया मध्ये काम करतात” ….Why is “The” used here???It should be “Tho” na?
Hi Sowmya
Your doubt is very obvious but if you see the first lesson, there is a category of pronouns i.e. honor pronouns. So, whenever we describe abt someone older than us, we use plural form of the pronoun.
For example
te maaze baabaaa aahet.(he is my father)
te mahaatama gaandhi aahet (he is Mahatma Gandhi)
is ths rule applicable only for male??mother is also older thn us thn y we using “ti” in ti grehni aahe
for endearment.

visit the lesson on be verbs in marathi : ” is and was”.

Hi,

Hey,
My question was related to ‘la’ and ‘madhe’.
While saying ‘I work in TCS’, we say ‘Mi TCS madhe kaam karto’.
Can we not say ‘Mi TCS la kaam karto’
Similarly the same question goes for ‘I live in Pune.’
Can i not say ‘Mi Pune madhe rahto.’?
Thanks
It can be said.
One more similar question.
Please explain the use of ‘यात’ also.
As in we also say, “Mi Punyat rahto.”
And you used in the daughter example where you said, “Ti shalet shikte.”
Couldn’t we use, “Ti shala madhe shikte.” there?
Hi Rahul,
Yes , you are right. “ti shaale madhe shikte” is also one way of saying.

My friend’s name is in Marathi???
Why do you use ‘mazya’ while referring to father and mother instea of majhe and majhi?
When a noun is followed by postposition, maajhe and maajhi is replaced with ‘maazyaa’
So it is majhe vadil, but majya vadilche naav and majhi aayi but majya aayichi gaadi?
Pronouns are inflected when followed by a post-position. Hence ‘maazyaa’ babanche naav.
What do we say to ‘mujhe’ in marathi
malaa
mera naam amit hai..
so i should say majha naav amit aahe or majhe nav amit aahe
