I want to learn Marathi greetings
a
नमस्कार! (Namaskar!) — the standard Marathi greeting. casually you'd say 'कसे आहात?' (Kase aahat?) — 'how are you?' (formal). with friends: 'कसा आहेस?' (Kasa aahes?) for males or 'कशी आहेस?' (Kashi aahes?) for females.
Namaskar! Kase aahat?
a
मी ठीक आहे! (Mi theek aahe!) — 'I'm fine!' 🎉 Marathi is very close to Hindi in many ways — if you know some Hindi, you'll pick it up faster. want to learn to introduce yourself?
yes! how do I say my name is...
a
'माझे नाव...' (Majhe naav...) — 'my name is...'. Marathi uses the Devanagari script, same as Hindi — so if you know Hindi script, you're already halfway there! 😊
