*Glossary*
Marathi script is essentially phonetic; however, except for
initials, the a-vowel is not written in Marathi script, so it was
added. Italics indicate high mid-vowels (a and Sanskrit ri as in
rishi); italic terminal -e is pronounced eh in written Marathi,
more often uh in spoken Marathi. Underlining here indicates
lengthening of the i- and u-vowel sounds. The last i or u of a
word is generally long except when followed by a consonant
cluster; in the last syllable of a word consonant-bracketed i or u
is shortened when an ending is added. Note: the underlined i's
and u's were lost in this text, but length does not differentiate
words of different meanings. An -a was added to help
pronounciation of certain Marathi terminal consonant clusters.
Nasalization is indicated by ~ over the vowel, but nasalized i is i here.
Vowel-pronunciation:
a as in but
i as in bit
u as in put
e as in bait or bet
i as in rishi

a as in pot
i as in beet
u as in boot
o as in boat
as in taxi

Retroflex consonants (italicized) are formed with the tongue

flexed backwards against the roof of the mouth; the
corresponding (non-italicized) dental consonants are formed
with tongue touching the teeth. Retroflex l sounds Japanese
(so solly); dental l sounds clipped. Pronounce ch, jh, & sh
similarly to English. Otherwise the h following a consonant
indicates aspiration: ph is an aspirated p, midway between
English p & f. The w-sound is lightly fricated, varying
between that of English v & w. The consonant r is lightly
trilled. Doubled consonants are pronounced with extra
emphasis (bollo bol-lo). Note long i's and u's not indicated here.

*Grammatical Summary*
adapted from Kavadi & Southworths Spoken Marathi, with
additions from Berntsen & Nimbkars Marathi Ref. Grammar
etc
1. A typical Marathi sentence of the simplest type consists of a
subject, object or complement, and verb, in that order (subject
first, verb last); additional elements are added as needed.
Simple sentences can be modified by addition of adverbs and
postpositional phrases (sect 5), or addition of particles, such as
ka, etc. More complex sentence types are built up by joining
simple sentences together, with or without conjunctions (sect
6), or with various verbal forms (sect 3.3).
1.1. Sentences containing auxiliaries. An auxiliary is the most
primitive verb, expressing a simple fact of being or not-being,
rather than some kind of action. The principal auxiliaries are
ahe, nahi (sect 2.1), hote, nahwte (sect 2.11), aste, naste, asel,
nasel (sect 2.2), etc. All express variations of the concept of is
or isnt in different tenses or moods. The nominal in the
patterns below is a noun, or a pronoun, or a noun/pronoun plus
modifying adjective or adjective phrase.
A. Nominal
to
ha simha

Nominal
ghoda
bhitra

Auxiliary
hoin
Hell become an ass
nahi
That lions no coward

B. Nominal
kahi wastu
hi jaga

Adjective
wait
sundar

Auxiliary
astat
Some things are bad
ahe
This spot is beautiful

C. Nominal
madh
undir

Modifier
Auxiliary
tyachya pishwit ahe
The honey is in his bag
kuthetari
asto Theres a rat somewhere

D. Nominal + -la
nagala
tila

Nominal
don jibha
mul-bal

Auxiliary
astat A cobra has 2 tongues
nahi
She has no youngster

Possession: form D is used to indicate intrinsic possession or

relationship:
(hyala sadsadwiwekbuddhi ahe He has a good conscience).
Other forms for indicating possession include: a possessive

adjective (majha hakk ahe Its my right; see 4.2) or a noun plus
possessive -che (majhya gulabi tarunyache pushpa my rosy
youths flower; see 4.331) or certain post-positions
(majhyajawal pureshi sampatti ahe Ive enuff wealth; see 5.4).
1.2. Sentences containing verbs. Transitive verbs take an object
(that is, the verbal action must be done on something);
intransitive verbs do not. Transitive (T), intransitive (I), semitransitive (S), and reversed (R) verbs each occur in
characteristic sentence types. The first nominal is always the
subject, the others are objects (exception: R-verbs reversed).
1.21. Intransitive (I) verbs (no object; verb-ending agrees with
subject):
Nominal
I Verb
tu
yeshil
You will come
mi
gelo nahi
I didnt go
majha mitra
ala
My friend came
1.22. Reverse-impersonal (R) verbs (athaw-, awad-, bhet-, dis-,
jam-, janaw-, kal-, khap-, labh-, lag-, mil-, nako/pahije, samaj-,
sapad-, smar-, sos-, such-, umaj-, wat-, etc). These require a
first nominal with suffix -la (plural -na); thus, sentences with
these verbs normally begin with mala instead of mi, tumhala
instead of tumhi, tya manasala instead of to manus, etc (the
reverse of English construction). The verb ending agrees with
the second nominal (the Marathi subject) when possible, or it
is neuter:
Nominal + -la*
tyna
tumhala
mala
majhya mitrala
*plural: -na

Nominal
pawsane pani
nawa mitra
bhiti
khel

R Verbs
milale They got no rain-water
milala ahe You got a new friend
watte
I feel afraid
awadtat My friend likes games

1.221. Pahije and nako are relatively invariable (2nd person

Sing. forms: pahijes/nakos; plural forms: pahijet/nakot). Mala
pahije means I want; mala nako means I dont want; see
sect. 3.153 for nako used as the negative imperative (dont do
it). Pahije following a verb in past tense indicates must be
done.
mala hi stri-bhumika nako
I dont want this female part
tyanche gundosh kathorpane pahayla nakot!
Their merits & demerits mustnt be looked at harshly!

Harmiyachya bapala tu pahije

Hermias father wants you
majhi ritbhat mi sambhalli pahije I must mind my manners
tu pityachi ichchha manli pahijes
You must obey your fathers wish
1.23. Transitive (T) verbs take an object.
1.231. With one object:
Nominal
to
amhi

Nominal (+ -la)*
kam
tyala

T Verb
karit nahi He isnt working
anu
Well bring him

* Animate nominals (esp. human) in this position have the

suffix -la (plural -na).

1.232. With two objects:

Nominal Nominal + -la Nominal T Verb
amhi
tumhala
don phale anu Well bring you 2 fruits
mi
tyala
chiththi
dein Ill give him the note
1.233. Transitive (T) verbs in the perfect have the first nominal
in the agent form (4.2); their endings agree with the object.
Semi-transitive (S) verbs (bhet-, bhi-, bol-, mhan-, pi-, shik-,
wisar-) take objects like T-verbs; they do not have the first
nominal in the agent form, and their endings agree with the
subject (as with I-verbs).
A. Nominal (+ -ne)* Nominal (+ -la)** T/S verb
tyane
pani
anle (T) He brought water
to
mala
bhetla (S)
He met me
B. Nominal(+ -ne)* Nominal + -la Nominal T verb
tyane
mala
pani
dile He gave me water
mi
tyala
chiththi dili I gave him a note
* Mi, tu, amhi, apan, & tumhi don't take -ne/-ni in agent form.
**Animate nominals in this position have the suffix -la (plural: -na)

1.24. Transitive verbs may be formed from intransitive verbs by

adding -aw to the base. Many are listed in the glossary: hasne
to laugh, hasawne to cause to laugh, etc.
majha raja Oberan hyna mi hasawto
I make my king Oberon laugh
prekshakna radawin, mi duhakhache wadal uthawin
The audience Ill cause to cry, Ill raise a storm of sorrow

1.25. Causative verbs are formed from transitive verbs in the

same way, to indicate actions done through external agency
(example, karne, to do, karawne, to bring about). A causative
verb may be used in a participial construction (see 3.22) to
indicate capability (or incapability):
tu nahi mala adawat
You cant hinder me
chalawat nahi ki rangawat nahi
It's impossible to walk or crawl
tujhe premalap mala ata aikawat nahit
I cannot bear to hear your love talk
1.3. Passive constructions are used when the agent is to be
unstressed; these use a verb in past tense followed by a form of
jane:
ha andhla manla jat asawa
He would be held to be blind
ithe tyanchya sahanshiltecha kas pahila jato
Here the strength of their endurance is seen
1.31. Another construction, allegedly used in news reportage,
employs a verb with ending -nyat followed by a form of yene:
aplya sarwna phasawar latkawnyat yeil 'We'll all be hanged
1.32. Passive voice with -kadun (from, by) attached to the
subject:
Dimetriaskadun prem hawe hote
From Demetrius love was needed
majhyakadun ek chuk jhali
From me an error occurred
2. Auxiliaries. These were defined in 1.1, and further exemplified in 3.2.
2.1. Forms of ahe and nahi (I am/am not) used in present tense:
1s
2s
3s
1pl
2pl
3pl

mi ahe (nahi)
tu ahes (nahis)
to,ti,te ahe (nahi)
amhi/apan ahot (nahi)
tumhi ahat (nahi)
te,tya,ti ahet (nahit)

I am (I am not)
you are (you are not)
he,she,it is (he,she,it is not)
we are (we are not)
you are (you are not)
they are (they are not)

2.11. The simple past tense of auxiliaries ahe and nahi is hoand nahw- (was/wasnt); they use regular perfect I verb endings
(see 3.121):
1s mi
2s tu
3s to, ti, te
1pl amhi/apan
2pl tumhi
3pl te, tya, ti

hoto/hote* (nahwto/nahwte*) I was (wasnt)

hotas/hotis* (nahwtas/nahwtis*
etc.
hota, hoti, hote (nahwta, nahwti, nahwte)
hoto (nahwto)
hota (nahwta)
hote, hotya, hoti (nahwte, nahwtya, nahwti)
*Masc/Fem

2.2. as- and nas- occur in sentences like ahe and nahi, but have
full verbal suffixes. Some of the examples below may
accompany participles (see 3.22). Other forms not given in this
section may be found in 3.3.
2.21. Present habitual (as- and nas- with simple present
endings) refers to habitual conditions or general truths; see
endings in sect. 3.11:
priticha marg saral nasto
Love st. is not straightforward
wedawakda, kate, sankate hyni bharlela asto
Curved & crooked, thorns & calamities it's filled with them
2.22. Past habitual with endings as given below (see also 3.224):
Singular
1s mi
3s to, ti, te

ase (nase)
ase (nase)

Plural
1pl amhi/apan

3.121:
mi apla tasa ektach asaycho
I used to be like that all by myself
kunich nasayche majhyashi bolayla
There was no-one to talk to
2.24. Perfect asle (only in conditional sentences); endings as in
3.121:

mi jari tuchchh asle tari mi tujhya mage yein
Although I might be contemptible still I behind you will come

tumchi ichchha asli tar natakche bharatwakya mhanto

(If) it is your desire then the plays epilogue I speak
2.25. Future: may be used to indicate simple futurity; also used
in conditional statements, or to mean should/would be

kay asel sanga.
Say what it will be
pan tyala Batam nasel
But there wont be a Bottom to it
mi tujhi bayko asen tar!
I would be your wife then!
saitan distat ki titke te narakat nastil

Hell (probably) be at home tomorrow
to ata ghari asel
He must be at home now
2.26. Most probable -nar future:
mi ghari asnar
Ill (most probably) be at home
2.3. In hypothetical conditional constructions (postulate a
hypothetical situation: if x had/hadnt happened, then y
would/wouldnt have happened); auxiliary ast- and nast- (as/nas- with the present tense-marker) take perfect endings like
the verbs to which they are auxiliary.
jar tumhi thode sabhya asta, tar majhya bhawna tumhi hya
prakare dukhawlya nastya
If you were a little polite,
then you wouldnt have hurt my feelings in this way
he aste tar tu majhi phajiti hou dili nastis
If they were, then you'd not have let me become humiliated
tujhe lawnya jar majhyakade aste tar (kay)?
What if your beauty were mine?
3. Verbs. Verbal forms consist of verb stems followed by various
suff-ixes; thus the form jato consists of the stem ja- followed by
suffix -to, etc. Irregular verbs have different stems in the past
tense; certain morpho-phonemic modifications may occur when
stems & suffixes combine (3.4).
3.1. Verbal suffixes of simple sentences.
3.11. Present habitual (the simple present): regular or habitual
actions which may or may not be occurring at the moment of
speaking. This consists of the stem with the present tensemarker -t- plus the endings below. For the neg. of these:
substitute the participle & nahi (see 3.221).

3.12. Perfect (the simple past) consists of stem with the past
tense-marker -l- plus an appropriate ending. For the negative:
add nahi, etc.
3.121. I and S verbs; the endings agree with the subject (the
3rd Person uses adjective endings, agreeing with the subject):
1s
2s
3s
1pl
2pl

Neut.
'a lamp
'a doll
dile 'a puzzle
'2 lamps
'2 dolls
dili(t)* '2 puz

*with plural objects: -t may be added to the verb ending

The subject takes the agent form -ne (plural: ni). When theres
only one object in la-form, the verb always has the neuter
singular ending:
mi tyala wicharle
I asked him
tyane mala wicharle
He asked me etc.
With tu as subject, -s is usually added to the verb ending:
tu je bollas te khare.
That which you said is correct
3.123. Past habitual (would): with 1st & 3rd Person Sing, -i or
-e is added to stem (-i after a vowel, or vowel plus -h-, and with

most T verbs; -e with the others); with 3rd Person Plural,

participle endings -t, -at, and -it are used (see 3.22). Another
way of expressing past habitual uses the participle & past
habitual auxiliary (see 3.224). Negative form: see next section.
ajparyant mala ithe Lisendarcha sahawas mile
'Till today I was getting Lysanders company here
tula purwi jase dise tase diso
As seen to you before, let thus be seen
ti galbate kashi dulat dulat jat
The ships how wag-waggling would go
3.1231. Past neg. habitual (a continuing negativity): -i/-e is
added to stem as above, plus -na:
tyachi buddhi chalenashi* jhali
Their brains became nonfunctioning
welewar hoinashi* jhali
Would never happen on time
*-shi: elided form of ase attached (used with jhale)
3.124. Past -aych-habitual (used to) uses the Perfect verb
endings:
tula pahun majhe pot bharayche
Seeing you my belly would be filled
majhyawaril premachya dho dho shapatha ghyaycha!
Of his love for me ratatat oaths he would take!
ti ratri majhyajawal basun gappagoshti karaychi
She at night sitting near me would chitchat
samudrawarun yenari-janari galbate pahaycho.
We would look at ships coming & going over the sea
3.13. Future (non-immediate or remote: the actual time of the
action may be imminent, but it isnt felt as immediate or
definite). This form has no corresponding negative: use
prospective -nar plus nahi (see 3.14).
Endings after a vowel, or vowel plus -h-, and with most T verbs:
1s
2s
3s
1pl
2pl

With some verbs, 1st & 3rd person Sing. endings differ (e
instead of i):
1s mi
(sang)-en thamben asen/nasen etc.
3s to, ti, te
(sang)-el thambel asel/nasel
3.14. Future using -nar (the immediate/definite prospective:
going to): suffix -nar is added to the stem (generally with
auxiliary; see also 3.27):
tyat sawalat milnar nahi In that concession wont be got
mi Athens sodun janar ahe! Im going to abandon Athens!
3.15. Command forms (Imperative).
3.151. Informal command form (used with people addressed as
tu); for most verbs (exceptions: raha and paha are used both for
informal & formal command) this is the bare stem of the verb,
e.g, an, ja, kar, ye, etc.
sundar muli, shahani ho

Beautiful girl, get smart

3.152. Formal command form (for people addressed as tumhi or

apan), formed by adding -a to the stem (see 3.41 for stemmodifications):
kripa kara, natak sample

Do a favor, the play is finished

3.153. The negative imperative is formed by adding -u to the

stem plus nako (milder form: naye shouldnt); the
respectful/plural form is naka.
ti phutu deu nakos
Dont allow it to break
jhopet tyala aweli jag yeu naye
Asleep he shouldnt untimely awaken
3.154. Third person imperative: add -o (Sing) or -ot (Plur).

not (willy nilly). A verb with -u ending plus det indicates let
(something) happen!
tula saubhagya labho
May you gain good fortune
mi ithun halnar nahi, te kahi karot
I am not moving from here, do what they will
tujhi ichchha aso agar naso Whether it be your wish or not

ya.
ti jamin jara halawu ya
Lets shake the ground somewhat (i.e., dance)

interrogative or ka? (ka often omitted when understood):
apan nirop gheun nighu ya ka?
Shall we take leave and set out?
dadhi kontya rangachi waparu?
Which color of beard shall I use?
amhi kuthe jau?
Where will we go?
3.2. Combinations of verb plus auxiliary in simple sentences.
3.21. Present progressive (colloquial form: present habitual plus
ahe, etc); this refers to actions in progress at the moment of
speaking. Given this way for clarity, theyre elided in speech.
Negative form: see 3.221:
Masc.
Fem.

3.22. Participle -ing (the stem with -t or -at, or the less
common -it) with an auxiliary. Various forms are given below
using different auxiliaries. The suffixes are:
(a) -t after a vowel (jat, khat, yet, ghet, pit, etc).
(b) -at or -it with all other verbs (bolat, karit, etc).
3.221. Present continuous.

3.225. Probable present.
to
to

jat asel
He probably goes, hes prob. going
jat nasel He probably isnt going, etc.

3.23. Present perfect (perfect plus ahe; for negative, nahi, etc).
Given this way here for clarity, theyre elided in speech:
mi alo (ale)* ahe
mi alo (ale) nahi

Ive come
I havent come etc.

*parentheses: Fem.

3.24. Pluperfect can be made from the Perfect (or Past Perfect)
by substituting -lel- for -l-, with the same ending (and
auxiliary); this indicates that the action was relatively further
back in the past:
samudrat durwar shirlelya eka khadakawar mi baslo hoto
Having gone far distant in the ocean I was seated on a rock'
3.25. Past perfect (perfect plus hote; for negative, nahwte, etc):
Given this way here for clarity, theyre elided in speech:
mi gelo hoto (gele hote)*
mi gelo nahwto (gele nahwte)

*parentheses: Fem.

I had gone
I hadnt gone, etc.

3.26. Probable perfect:

to gela asel
Hes probably gone, he prob. went
to gela nasel
He prob. didnt go, etc.

3.27. Simple future using -nar:

mi janar nahi Im not going to go, etc.
3.28. Past future:

3.29. Probable future:
to janar asel
Hell probably go
to janar nasel He prob. wont go, etc.
3.3. Suffixes added to the verb stem form complex sentences:
they're invariable (-ayla, -t, -u, -un, -tana, -ta, -ne, -nya-, -lya-);
or have variable adjective endings (-ayche, -awe, -nare, -lele).
With multiple verbs: the form of the verb-combination is
determined by the last verb, whether transitive/intransitive, etc.
3.31. Invariable suffixes.
3.311. -ayla (variant: -nyas) indicates to or in order to; it is
used as a complement of many adjectives, some nouns, and
some verbs:
ti basayla jate wa kosalte
She goes to sit and tumbles
chandracha prakash kandilachya at asayla hawa hotas
The moons light to be inside the lantern was needed
tine marayla tayar hwayla hawe

tich mala sadguni wa prem karnyas yogya watat ahe
She to me is meritorious and to feel love seems suitable
3.312. The participle (verb with suffix -t*) may form the first
component in a compound verb. Following it by another verb
serves to complement the participial how-statement; following

by bas- (negative connotation) or rah- may indicate continuation (keep on or continue doing it).
*or -at or -it (see 3.22)
tyachya mage ek bai dhawat geli
Behind him a woman (who) went running
pashu mala pahun bhitine palat suttat

Suitable persons seeking love continue wandering!
hya murkh pakshyache gane kuthla murkh aikat basel?
What sort of idiot would go on hearing this dumb bird-song?
3.313. -u (a suffix for combining the first verb with certain 2nd
verbs): pahije/nako (must/mustnt), naye (shouldnt), lagne (to
begin to), yene (to come to (perception)), dene (to allow to),
shakne (to be able to); with pahne indicates to try to, implying
effort in spite of some obstacle):
mala adhik banawu nakos
Dont deceive me any more
nakore asa nishthur hou!
Hey dont become cruel like this
undarane amhala tras deu naye
A mouse shouldnt give us trouble
tyanche pot dukhu lagte

Then let it go on just like this
tu jau shaknar nahis
You will not be able to go
tyachya tu swadhin hou pahtes
Youre trying to be under his control
3.314. -un (sequential conjunction): A verb with suffix -un
followed by another verb means after doing the action denoted
by the first verb (the sequence may be one of cause-effect:
kripa karun do a favor & ...). Various idioms using this form
are in the glossary: nighun jane to leave; gheun yene to bring;
chorun jane to steal away, etc; compare next sect.
tyachya madhachi pishwi gheun ya
Bring his honey-bag
tu ithun nighun ja.
You go away from here

3.3141. -un (in various compound-verb idioms): followed by ja/ge- or tak- (do it & toss it) emphasizes action-completion,
followed by ghe- indicates (manage to) get done, followed by
de- indicates let it be done, followed by thew- indicates
maintenance of the action, followed by rah-or bas- indicates
continuation (continue/keep on doing it).

being/doing something):
te kartana mala radawa lagel While doing it I'll have to weep
majhyajawal tu astana
While you were near me
3.316. -ta and -tach. Special forms: verb-ta yene means able to

noun:

tujhyawina jagna mala ashakya ahe kewal
To live without you to me is simply impossible

ending for postposition (or possessive suffix -che). Special form:

3.32. Variable (adjective endings agree with object) suffixes.
3.321. Needful -ayche (the subject is in agent ne-form, or
object la-form like an R-verb; often with auxiliary) means it is
(wanting or needing) to be done or is to be done; with the
negative auxiliary, it means it shouldnt be done:
tula kay mhanayche ahe?
Whats to be said to you?

wiragi jiwan kanthayche Dispassionate life is to be endured
3.322.(1) Desiderative -awe expresses mild obligation
(would/should do); (2) Subjunctive -awe (with I-verbs or the
auxiliary) indicates probability (must be). These 2 meanings
are differentiated in context.
Adjective endings are attached to -aw-; these agree with the
object or subject as appropriate, similarly to Perfect tense,
otherwise neuter sing. (-ne may be added to the nominal). The
negative desiderative (shouldnt occur) consists of the verb
with suffix -u plus naye (like the neg. imperative: see sect.
3.153). Sometimes ase watne (to feel like this) is added, with
elision onto the ending: -awase watne, indicating to feel like one
should. Adding a form of lagne (this is an R-verb) after -awe
expresses strong obligation or necessity (to be required/forced
to do).

Maharaj, uthawe, jage hwawe (mild imperative)

Lord, you should get up, you should awaken
hi apli phar mothi bahadurich mhanawi lagel

3.323. -nare converts the verbal noun to an adjective, modifying
a noun:
pratham disnari wyakti
ratrichya yenarya andharat
bhate durust karnara (manus)
kami hot janara chandra

The first-seen individual

In the darkness of nightfall
A bellows-mender

3.324. -lele: the pluperfect (rarely: simple perfect) used as an

adjective:

3.4. Modifications. Some verb-stems undergo certain
morphophonemic changes when followed by suffixes beginning
with a. The unchanged form of the stem is the base of the
infinitive (the glossary citation form).
3.41. Changes of stems preceding suffixes beginning with a:
(a) Stems ending in -a:
kha kha, khal, khayla, khayche, khawe.
ja
ja, jal, jayla, jayche, jawe.

(b) Stems ending in -ah (these can vary):

pah paha, pahal, pahayla, pahayche, pahawe.
rah raha, rahal, rahayla, rahayche, rahawe.
(c) Stems ending in -e or -i:
de
dya, dyal, dyayla, dyayche, dyawe.
ghe ghya, ghyal, ghyayla, ghyayche, ghyawe.
ne nya, nyal, nyayla, nyayche, nyawe.
pi
pya, pyal, pyayla, pyayche, pyawe.
ye
ya, yal, yayla, yayche, yawe.
(d) Stems ending in -u or -o (these are unique):
dhu dhuwa, dhuwal, dhuwayla, dhuwayche, dhuwawe.
ho
hwa*, hwal, hwayla, hwayche, hwawe.
*in Devanagari, the first two letters are reversed

3.42. Irregular verbs: special stem forms with -le & -lele suffix:
bagh- (baghitle); bhi- (bhyaylee); de- (dile); ga- (gayle); ghal(ghatle); ghe- (ghetle); ho- (jhale); ja- (gele); kar- (kele); kha(khalle); lih/lihi- (lihile); mag- (magitle); mar- (mele); mhan(mhanala/mhatle);
mil- (milale); nigh- (nighale); pah(pahile); pal- (palale); pi- (pyayle); poh- (pohole); rah- (rahile);
sang- (sangitle); wah- (wahile); ye- (ale).
4. Nominals. A nominal (see sentence formulas in sect. 1)
consists of either a noun (4.1), a pronoun (4.2), or an adjectival
(4.3) plus a noun.
4.1. Nouns. Most nouns occur in a straight singular form, a
straight plural form, and an oblique form (the formative form,
which occurs before postpositions, and the various suffixes:
agent -ne, object -la, and possessive -che). Nouns referring to a
male person or creature are masculine (M), and to a female
person or creature are feminine (F). Unfortunately, nouns
referring to sexless objects may be of any grammatical gender;
but if the grammatical gender isnt known, one may treat
sexless objects as if neuter (N) without creating confusion.
Certain words are only used in plural (e.g., lok & wadil);
certain words are only used in singular (e.g., pani & laksh). An
adjective may be used as a noun (eg, pratyekane by everyone).
Vocative: a special form for addressing someone. The vocative
singular is the bare oblique, and the plural uses ending -no
attached to the oblique (examples: dewte, surekha, hridayeshwari, gadyno, striyno, sundar ramnno). Another form of
vocative employs the particle suffix -ho (Mitraho! Oh friends!).
Names & titles (eg, raja, buwa, etc) do not use the vocative.

4.11. Masculine nouns. The forms are given below, with some
exceptions. Note morphonemic rules exemplified below for
convenience (asterisks); these rules apply to all parts of speech
when endings or suffixes are added (cf 3.41):

*with adjective endings: (Sing) -a, -i, -e, (Plur) -e, -ya, -i
possessive-oblique form: poss. form with oblique ending -ya.
**For 2nd person singular, the familiar form is tu (used
for close friends, mother & siblings); the respectful form (most
commonly used) is the plural form tumhi; the honorific (mostrespectful) form is apan.

*** kuna is the oblique of kon, so koni, konala, etc, may also be kuni,
kunala, etc.

4.21. The inclusive we includes the person spoken to; the

exclusive we does not. For respectful reference in the 3rd
person, plural forms are often used. A pronoun denoting an
object may be Masc, Fem, or Neut, according to the gender of
the noun its replacing. When grammatical gender is unknown,
one may treat sexless object-nouns as if neuter.
4.22. Swatha is a reflexive pronoun; aple can be used as a
reflexive pronoun: to qualify the subject of a sentence (oneself),
or when there is a second reference to the subject within a
sentence (ones own).
mi apla upyog karun ghein I'll turn it to my own advantage
mi babchya najarene pahu ki swathachya?
Shall I see with papas sight or my own?
Pirmas swatha talwar upasun swathala marun gheto
Pyramus himself drawing out a sword takes his own life
hi aplya dhyanat gadhun rahili
In her own meditations she remained absorbed
ata mi apli ekti Athensla parat jate
Now I myself alone am returning to Athens
4.23. Oblique: Before postpositions and suffixes (including: -ne, la, -che), pronouns are in the oblique form. For pronouns
referring to persons the possessive-oblique form (the possessive
form with oblique ending -ya) is used (tyachyasathi for him);
for pronouns referring to non-personal nouns, the possessive is
usually omitted (tyasathi for that).
4.3 Adjectivals consist of simple adjectives or adjective phrases.
4.31. Adjectives are invariable (wait, kathin, lahan, nawin, etc)
or variable (changle, piwle, etc, all listed in glossary with -e
ending). Invariable adjectives do not change. Variable
adjectives change their endings according to the gender of the
noun or pronoun they accompany. The following table shows
the adjective endings:
Masc.
Fem.
Neut.

Singular
-a (changla mulga)
-i (changli mendhi)
-e (changle jale)

Plural
-e (changle mulge)
-ya (changlya mendhya)
-i (changli jali)

4.32. A variable adjective (or adjectives) accompanying a noun

in the oblique form always has the ending: -ya (tya manasala
to that man); but words ending with -se become -sha in the

oblique (asha manasala to such a man). The oblique of ek is

eka (eka manasala to one man).
4.33. Adjective phrases are composed mainly of nominals with
adjective endings added. They can be formed from
nouns/pronouns and nominal phrases, from nominals with
suffixes or postpositions, and from verbals.
4.331. Adjectives may be formed from nouns by adding
possessive -che; this form may be used to indicate simple
possession (1st example):
majha jiwacha sakha
My lifes friend
duhakhacha wadal
A storm of sorrow
premacha shiledar
A soldier of love
samadhanachi gosht
A thing of comfort
4.332. Adjectives may also be formed from nouns with
postpositions by adding possessive suffix -che to the
postposition. Nouns with post-position -t in (or -madh in, war on, etc) form adjectives by adding -le. The invariable -atil
(-madhil, etc) can also be used, with the same effect:
samorchya ughadya maidanat
Into the facing open field
mashchya tangdywarche men
The wax on bee-trotters
gharanyatil wair wa ladhai
Familial enmity and fighting
majhya manatle tula ughade karto
Whats in my mind to you I disclose
mashukmadhil bhint
The wall between loved ones
haramadhli jaga
The position in the garland
natakatlya simhachi bhiti
Fear of the lion in the play
majhe Helenawaril prem
My love for Hermia
hya pashchimekadil daryt
In the western valleys
4.333. Adjective phrases with itke, peksha, sarkhe; and also
(given for comparison) phrases using sarwat & sarwa noun-at:
yahudyasarkha dekhna
Good-looking like a Jew
Harmiya-itkich sundar
As beautiful as Hermia
majhya apekshepeksha
More than my expectations
ekhadya lochat kutripeksha More than some pesky dog
sarwt mage Oberan adrishya sthitit ahe
Behind all of them is Oberon situated unseen
sarwa striyt sundar
Most beautiful of all women
sarwa kalawantt to pharach buddhiman ahe
Among all the artists hes most clever
tu nagapeksha adhik dushtpanane waglas!
You behaved more wickedly than a cobra!

4.334. Adjective phrases based on verbs with suffix -nyache

(which is thus the possessive of the verbal noun), or -ayche may
be substituted:
mi tichyashi wiwahbaddh honyache tharawle hote
I had decided to become marriage-bound with her
majhe duhakh wadhnyacha sambhaw ahe
Theres a probability of my sadness increasing
tila ghadwanchiwar basaycha moh hoto
She becomes tempted to sit on the stool
tujhya bapche tu aikayche ki na aikayche he nit tharaw
Your fathers (wish) you to listen or not, properly decide this
5. Sentence modifiers. The principal sentence modifiers are
adverbs and postpositional phrases (postpositions are similar to
English prepositions).
5.1. Simple invariable adverbs: aj, udya, kuthe, kewha, lawkar,
etc.
5.2. Variable adverbs:
nustya jaminiwar
itkya dur ka alas?
lagu de ekdacha nikal

Just on the ground

Why did you come so far?
Let the settlement finally begin

5.3. Postpositional phrases consist of a nominal in suitable

form, which is followed by a postposition (similar to the
English preposition, but it follows rather than precedes), or a
suffix. The nominal may be either:
(a) a pronoun: majhya barobar, tyachya sathi, amchya jawal.
(b) a noun: ghari, pelyatun, ujadeparyant, pritibaddal, etc.
(c) a nominal phrase: hya pustakat, amchya gharat, etc.
5.31. A noun followed by a postposition or suffix is in the
oblique form (see 7, regarding nasalization used to indicate
plurality for nouns and pronouns followed by postpositions),
except for the following cases:
5.311. The locative suffix -i (in/at) follows the straight form of
the noun.
ghari at home, hati in hand, kshani at the moment
diwashi on a day (tya diwashi on that day, etc.)
sakali, dupari, sandhyakali, ratri, weli, etc.
dhyani-mani-swapni in mind & thought & dream

5.312. A noun followed by some postpositions may use

possessive-oblique suffix -chya (eka minitachya at within 1
minute, although the simple oblique form is much more
commonly used (eka minitat in a minute).
5.32. Pronouns referring to persons are usually in possessiveoblique form when followed by a postposition (majhyabarobar
with me, etc). Pronouns referring to inanimate objects are
often in the simple oblique form, or they may use the more
emphatic possessive-oblique form:
tya sathi, tyachya sathi for that
tya barobar, tyachya barobar with that, etc.
5.4. The concept of possession of object(s) may be indicated with
certain postpositions (see also 1.1); the noun or pronoun in
suitable form is used with one of the following postpositions: kade, -jawal, or -pashi.
majhyajawal pureshi sampatti ahe
tujhyajawal winay nahi
majhyakade ek dhadasi pari ahe

I have sufficient wealth

You have no humility
I have a bold fairy

6. Conjunctions form complex sentences by joining two or more

simple sentences together in various ways.
6.1. Simple conjunctions: ani, karan, ki, kiwa, mag, mhanje,
mhanun, na ... na, nahitar, nahitari, pan, shiway, tewha, etc.
Example of na ... na:
na sur na arth, sarach ghol!
Neither tune nor meaning, all gaff!
6.2. Paired conjunctions used in relative constructions. Often
the first element is omitted: eg, the first example could omit jar
if the meaning is still clear (compare the second example). In
conditional constructions
(in which the first clause is a
condition of the second; see also sect. 2.3), both verbs may be
put into future tense (indicating likelihood), or more
commonly, the first verb is put into past tense (note first two
examples).
jar ... tar if ... then
jari ... tari even if ... nevertheless
jase ... tase just as ... like that
jewha ... tewha when ... then
jithe ... tithe where ... there

jitke ... titke as many ... so many

jewdhe ... tewdhe as much ... that much
je ... te that which ... it
jo jo ... to to the more ... the more
(kadhi) ... ki/mhanje when ... then
tula amchyabarobar rahayche asel tar thik
(If) youre to remain with us then it would be okay
jar te jamle tar sarwa chhan jhale If managed then its all OK
tula dadhi nasli tari chalel
If you lack a beard still itll do
mi jari tuchchh asle tari mi tujhya mage tujhe pay chatat yein
Tho I might be contemptible Ill come behind licking your feet
mi jasa Harmiyawar prem karto tasa D. tujhyawar prem karo!
Just as I love Hermia like that may Demetrius love you!
tyachi priya tyala jewha disel tewha ti chandnisarkhi disu de
When he sees his beloved then let her appear like a star
amcha hetu jithe kayde lagu hot nahit tithe janyacha hota
Our intention was to go there where the laws dont apply
Ja, wa whelmashala ek mail pohun dur jayla jewdha wel lagel
tewdhya welachya at parat ye! Go, and as long a time as
required for the whale to swim a mile, within that return!
mi jo jo tyachyashi premane jawal jate to to to mala dur lotto
The more I go near him in love the more he pushes me away
ekda hi muli milali ki bas Once this root is gotten then enough
to jaga jhala mhanje tyachi tainat rakha
(When) hes awakened then be at his beck and call
7. Romanization & rhetoric: The post-consonantal a-sound
which occurs at the end of words (and between syllables) is
omitted in this text, except when required for pronunciation of
consonant clusters. The -e neuter ending in written Marathi is
often pronounced -a in spoken Marathi. In this text the spoken
form is indicated by the italic -e. A tilde (~) over a vowel is
employed in this text to represent the nasalizing anuswar
used in Marathi to indicate plurality for nouns in the oblique
(before postpositions); but nasal-i is represented thus: 'i'. The
English letter used to represent anuswar nasalization (usually
m or n) within word-stems varies depending on the articulatory
location (in the mouth) of the consonant which follows (e.g., m
occurs before labial consonants b and p).
7.1. Reduplication: Several types are used. A list of such words
omitted from the glossary and grammar examples is included
here. Generally the meaning of the word is emphasized or

intensified (very whatever), or it indicates repetitiveness

(punha punha again & again). A variant employs two words of
similar sound and meaning for greater emphasis.
-akralwikral (frightful), dulat dulat (wag-waggling), durdur
(far-distant), godgod (sweet-sweet), haluhalu (little by little),
kay kay (what-all), lahan lahan (little bitty), lajari-bujari
(bashful & shy), mage mage (directly behind), maujmaja (fun &
frolic), sadhesudhe (plain & simple), sare sare (all &
everything), wedewakde (curved & crooked).
jewha jewha diwas nahisa hoto tewha tu yetes tu yetes
Whenever day disappears then you come, you come
je je ghadel te pahile pahije Whatever might occur I must see
7.11. Redoubling intensifier: uses particle -ch (or suffix -chya)
with reduplication. The only example found here: maujach
mauj great fun.
tumchya murkhpanane maujach mauj udawun dili asel!
By means of your foolishness great fun will be let fly!
7.2. Rhetorical question: ka bare before a verb,
Why should (or shouldnt) it be or happen?

suggesting

pan majhi priya Thisbi ka bare yet nahi

But my beloved Thisbe why should she not come
ti aplya priykarajawal ka bare jhopli nahi?
She near her lover why shouldnt have slept?
7.3. Indirect constructions: In English, when someones
statement (or thoughts) are reported, the verb tense is changed
(eg, will changes to would, shall to should, past tense to past
perfect, etc); in Marathi, these changes arent required.
pita ha pitridew ahe ase manun wag
Holding father to be the ancestral god, behave thus
tyna swathala apan mothe kushal ahot ase watte
They think themselves to be very expert
7.4. Emphatic particles. Particles differ from postpositions in
that they are attached to the straight form of the noun rather
than the oblique; they may be attached to other parts of speech.
7.41. -ch. This particle singles out and emphasizes the word to
which it is attached. In this text it may be attached to
consonants with an -a- for clarity.

hach to Atheniyan
This is the very Athenian
bhinyasarkha pranich jagat dusra kunich nahi
There is no other creature in the world worth fearing
Ha paha, ek alach.
See here, one has come
7.42. -hi. This particle means even or also (other particles with
similar meaning: -suddha and -dekhil and -pan), or it can
intensify contrast. It may be attached to consonants with an -a(to separate it from digraphs).
tula ek jibh asunhi tu nagapeksha adhik dushtpanane waglas!
Even having 1 tongue you behaved worse than a cobra!
Lisendarhi tasach ahe
Lysander also is just like that
to tyachyapari aselhi
He might also be like that
lahan lahan phuledekhil
Little bitty flowers too
Mi alo. Mihi! Misuddha. Midekhil alo. (four different replies)
Ive come! Me too! I also. I too have come.
hi jaga sundar ahe wa soyichi pan ahe
This spot is pretty and also convenient
ho, tasech mi pan mhante
Yes, I also say just like that
majhe baba pan ale hote
My papa also had come
7.43. -se. This attaches to an adjective (or adverb) to diminish
or modify its force: lahanase (rather or quite small), etc.
tyachya dolyna tu thodasa ras law
To his eyes you just apply a little juice
ekhada lahanasa undir tumchya jawalun turuturu gela
Some smallish mouse from near you went scurrying
7.5. Q-tags/Interjections to get attention, convey Q, assent, etc.
