जेवण झाले का ? (jevan zaale ka?)

Have you had your lunch?

Marathi has a verb for the process of  “having lunch”

To take or have lunch = जेव-णे (jevan)  and जेवण  is the noun which is equivalent of lunch or dinner.

So when you ask  “जेवण झाले का ?”  you are literally asking ” Is your lunch over?”

Possible answers to this question are :

1.  हो. माझे जेवण झाले.(ho.maaze jevan zaale) =(yes, my lunch is over)
2. मी जेवतो आहे.(mee jevto aahe)= (I am having my lunch)
3. मी जेवलो. (mee jevlo) = (I had my lunch)
4. मी तीन वाजता जेवणार  (mee teen vaajta jevnaar)=(I’ll have my lunch at 3 o’clock)
