__TOC__


=== Introduction to Yes/No Questions ===
Yes/no questions are the simplest form of questions in any language, including Marathi. These questions usually require a response of either "yes" or "no." The structure of yes/no questions in Marathi often involves changing the intonation of a statement or starting with specific question words.
For example, the statement "तू येतोस" (tū yetos) which means "You are coming" can be turned into a question by raising your intonation at the end: "तू येतोस का?" (tū yetos kā?) meaning "Are you coming?"
Here are some key points to remember:
* Yes/no questions can often be formed by adding "का" (kā) for males or "का?" (kā?) for females at the end of a statement.
* The word order typically remains the same as in a statement: Subject-Verb.
=== How to Answer Yes/No Questions ===
When answering yes/no questions in Marathi, you can respond simply with "हो" (hō) for "yes" or "नाही" (nāhī) for "no." However, you can also provide a more complete answer if you wish to elaborate.
Here’s a structured breakdown of how to answer these questions:
* '''Affirmative Response''':
* Use "हो" (hō) to say "yes."
* You can add more context:
* Example: "हो, मी येतो." (hō, mī yeto.) - "Yes, I am coming."


=== Types of Questions in Marathi ===
* '''Negative Response''':


In Marathi, there are several types of questions that you may come across. Let's explore each type and understand how to respond to them appropriately.
* Use "नाही" (nāhī) to say "no."


==== Yes/No Questions ====
* Again, you can elaborate:


Yes/no questions are straightforward questions that require a simple "yes" or "no" response. These questions typically start with a question word, such as "का" (ka) or "आहे" (ahe), followed by the subject and verb. To answer a yes/no question in Marathi, you can simply respond with "होय" (hoy) for "yes" or "नाही" (nahi) for "no".
* Example: "नाही, मी येत नाही." (nāhī, mī yet nāhī.) - "No, I am not coming."


Here are a few examples:

|}

==== Questions with Multiple-Choice Answers ====
=== Understanding Multiple-Choice Questions ===
 
Multiple-choice questions require you to select an answer from a set of options. In Marathi, these questions often begin with a question word followed by the options.
 
For example:
 
"तू चहा की कॉफी प्यायस?" (tū chahā kī kōphī pyāyas?) translates to "Did you drink tea or coffee?"
 
Some common question words used in multiple-choice questions include:
 
* "की" (kī) - or
 
* "किंवा" (kinvā) - or (more formal)
 
These words are essential in framing your questions to ensure clarity.
 
=== How to Answer Multiple-Choice Questions ===
 
When answering multiple-choice questions, you can simply state your choice. Here’s how to structure your responses:
 
* '''Choosing an Option''':
 
* If you choose "tea":


Another common type of question in Marathi is one that provides multiple-choice answers. These questions are typically structured with a question word followed by several options to choose from. To answer this type of question, you will need to select the correct option that corresponds to your response.
* Example: "मी चहा प्यायला." (mī chahā pyāyalā.) - "I drank tea."


Let's look at some examples:
* If you choose "coffee":
 
* Example: "मी कॉफी प्यायली." (mī kōphī pyāyalī.) - "I drank coffee."
 
Here’s a table with examples of multiple-choice questions and their answers:

In Maharashtra, people are known for their warmth and hospitality.

Understanding these cultural nuances can enhance your language skills and enable you to engage in meaningful conversations with native Marathi speakers.

Welcome to the lesson on "Answering Questions" in Marathi! This topic is vital for anyone starting their journey in learning Marathi, as it lays the foundation for effective communication. Being able to ask and answer questions will not only enhance your conversational skills but also boost your confidence in using the language in everyday situations.

In this lesson, we'll cover two main types of questions: yes/no questions and multiple-choice questions. Understanding these will enable you to engage in basic conversations, whether you are asking for directions, discussing preferences, or simply getting to know someone better.

Here’s what we’ll cover in this lesson:

  • Introduction to Yes/No Questions

  • Understanding Multiple-Choice Questions
  • How to Answer Multiple-Choice Questions
  • Practice Exercises

Introduction to Yes/No Questions[edit | edit source]

Yes/no questions are the simplest form of questions in any language, including Marathi. These questions usually require a response of either "yes" or "no." The structure of yes/no questions in Marathi often involves changing the intonation of a statement or starting with specific question words.

For example, the statement "तू येतोस" (tū yetos) which means "You are coming" can be turned into a question by raising your intonation at the end: "तू येतोस का?" (tū yetos kā?) meaning "Are you coming?"

Here are some key points to remember:

  • Yes/no questions can often be formed by adding "का" (kā) for males or "का?" (kā?) for females at the end of a statement.
  • The word order typically remains the same as in a statement: Subject-Verb.

How to Answer Yes/No Questions[edit | edit source]

When answering yes/no questions in Marathi, you can respond simply with "हो" (hō) for "yes" or "नाही" (nāhī) for "no." However, you can also provide a more complete answer if you wish to elaborate.

Here’s a structured breakdown of how to answer these questions:

  • Affirmative Response:
  • Use "हो" (hō) to say "yes."
  • You can add more context:
  • Example: "हो, मी येतो." (hō, mī yeto.) - "Yes, I am coming."
  • Negative Response:
  • Use "नाही" (nāhī) to say "no."
  • Again, you can elaborate:
  • Example: "नाही, मी येत नाही." (nāhī, mī yet nāhī.) - "No, I am not coming."

Below is a table illustrating this concept:

Marathi Pronunciation English

हो, मी येतो. hō, mī yeto. Yes, I am coming.
नाही, मी येत नाही. nāhī, mī yet nāhī. No, I am not coming.

Understanding Multiple-Choice Questions[edit | edit source]

Multiple-choice questions require you to select an answer from a set of options. In Marathi, these questions often begin with a question word followed by the options.

For example:

"तू चहा की कॉफी प्यायस?" (tū chahā kī kōphī pyāyas?) translates to "Did you drink tea or coffee?"

Some common question words used in multiple-choice questions include:

  • "की" (kī) - or
  • "किंवा" (kinvā) - or (more formal)

These words are essential in framing your questions to ensure clarity.

How to Answer Multiple-Choice Questions[edit | edit source]

When answering multiple-choice questions, you can simply state your choice. Here’s how to structure your responses:

  • Choosing an Option:
  • If you choose "tea":
  • Example: "मी चहा प्यायला." (mī chahā pyāyalā.) - "I drank tea."
  • If you choose "coffee":
  • Example: "मी कॉफी प्यायली." (mī kōphī pyāyalī.) - "I drank coffee."

Here’s a table with examples of multiple-choice questions and their answers:

Marathi Pronunciation English
तू चहा की कॉफी प्यायस? tū chahā kī kōphī pyāyas? Did you drink tea or coffee?
