|}
|}


== Grammar ==
These phrases will form the foundation of your introductions. Let’s break them down further.
 
==== Introducing Yourself ====
 
When you introduce yourself, it's common to start with your name. In Marathi, you would say '''"माझं नाव ..." (Mājhā nāv ...)'''. For example, if your name is Rahul, you would say '''"माझं नाव राहुल आहे." (Mājhā nāv Rāhul āhe.)'''.
 
Following that, it’s polite to ask the other person their name using '''"तुमचं नाव काय?" (Tumaca nāv kāy?)'''. This simple exchange opens the door for further conversation.
 
==== Asking About Origin ====
 
The next step in an introduction is typically to mention where you are from. You can say '''"मी ... पासून आले आहे." (Mī ... pāsūn āle āhe.)'''. For instance, if you are from New York, you would say '''"मी न्यूयॉर्क पासून आले आहे." (Mī Nyūyōrka pāsūn āle āhe.)'''.
 
You can also inquire about where the other person is from by asking '''"तुम्ही कुठे राहता?" (Tumhī kuṭhe rāhatā?)''' for males or '''"तुम्ही कुठे राहता?" (Tumhī kuṭhe rāhatā?)''' for females.
 
=== Cultural Insights ===
 
Understanding the cultural context of introductions can help you navigate social situations better. In Maharashtra, it’s common to greet someone with a smile and maintain eye contact during introductions as a sign of respect.
 
Moreover, addressing someone by their full name or title (like Mr., Mrs., etc.) signifies respect. In many cases, you might also be asked about your family or profession as part of the introduction, as these aspects are important in building relationships.
 
=== Practice Exercise ===
 
Now that we've covered the basics of introductions, it's time to practice! Here are some exercises designed to help you apply what you’ve learned.
 
==== Exercise 1: Fill in the Blanks ====


In Marathi, to introduce oneself, you say "My name is ...", which translates to "माझं नाव ... आहे" (Mājhaṁ nāva ... āhe). To introduce someone else, you say "This is ...", which translates to "हा/ही ... आहे" (Hā/hī ... āhe). The word "हा/ही" (Hā/hī) means "this" and changes depending on the gender of the person you are introducing.
Complete the sentences with your own information.


To ask someone their name, you say "What is your name?" which translates to "नाव काय आहे?" (Nāva kāy āhe?). If you want to ask it informally, you can say "तुझं नाव काय आहे?" (Tujaṁ nāva kāy āhe?).
1. माझं नाव __________ आहे. (My name is __________.)


To ask someone where they are from, you say "Where are you from?" which translates to "कुठे आहात?" (Kuṭhe āhāt?). In response, you can say "I am from ..." which translates to "... आहे" (āhe).
2. मी __________ पासून आले आहे. (I am from __________.)


Here are some examples of simple conversations in Marathi:
3. तुमचं नाव काय? __________ (What is your name? __________)


* Example 1:
==== Exercise 2: Role Play ====


Person A: नमस्ते, माझं नाव रवि आहे. तुझं नाव काय आहे?
Partner up with a fellow learner and take turns introducing yourselves. Use the following structure:
(Namaste, mājhaṁ nāva Ravi āhe. Tujaṁ nāva kāy āhe?)


Person B: माझं नावा सीता आहे. मी मुंबईमध्ये राहतो.
* Greet each other
(Mājhaṁ nāvā Sītā āhe. Mī Mumbaimadhye rāhto.)


Translation:
* Introduce your name


Person A: Hello, my name is Ravi. What is your name?
* Ask each other where you are from
Person B: My name is Sita. I live in Mumbai.


* Example 2:
Example:


Person A: हा आहे अजय, माझं ग्रुपमध्ये आहे. तो पुण्यात राहतो.
'''Learner 1:''' नमस्कार! माझं नाव ____ आहे. तुम्हं नाव काय? 
(Hā āhe Ajay, mājhaṁ grupmadhye āhe. To Puṇyāt rāhto.)


Person B: नमस्ते, माझं नाव मधु आहे. मी नाशिकमध्ये राहते.
'''Learner 2:''' नमस्कार! माझं नाव ____ आहे. मी ____ पासून आले आहे. तुम्ही कुठे राहता?
(Namaste, mājhaṁ nāva Madhu āhe. Mī Nāśikmadhye rāhte.)
