Importance of Verbs in Marathi[edit | edit source]

In Marathi, verbs play a critical role in structuring sentences and conveying meaning. They help us express actions, such as "to eat," "to go," and "to see." Without verbs, our sentences would lack depth and clarity. Here are some key points about the importance of verbs:

Action Indicators: Verbs indicate what the subject is doing.

State of Being: They can express states, like feelings or conditions.

Sentence Formation: Verbs are essential for forming complete sentences.

Conjugation of Verbs[edit | edit source]

Conjugation refers to the way verbs change form based on the subject, tense, and aspect. In Marathi, the verb conjugation is influenced by the gender and number of the subject. Here are the basic conjugation rules:

Present Tense[edit | edit source]

The present tense is used to describe actions happening now.

Here’s how we conjugate a common verb like "to eat" (खाणे - khāṇe):

Marathi	Pronunciation	English
मी खातो	mī khāto	I eat (male speaker)
मी खाते	mī khāte	I eat (female speaker)
तू खातोस	tū khātos	You eat (male, informal)
तू खातेस	tū khātes	You eat (female, informal)
तो खातो	to khāto	He eats
ती खाते	tī khāte	She eats
आपण खातो	āpaṇa khāto	We eat (inclusive, male)
आपण खातो	āpaṇa khāte	We eat (inclusive, female)
ते खातात	te khātāt	They eat (male/mixed)
ती खातात	tē khātāt	They eat (female)

Past Tense[edit | edit source]

The past tense describes actions that have already taken place.

Using the same verb "to eat" (खाणे - khāṇe) again, we have:

Marathi	Pronunciation	English
मी खाल्ले	mī khālle	I ate (male speaker)
मी खाल्ली	mī khāllī	I ate (female speaker)
तू खाल्लास	tū khāllās	You ate (male, informal)
तू खाल्लीस	tū khāllīs	You ate (female, informal)
तो खाल्ला	to khāllā	He ate
ती खाल्ली	tī khāllī	She ate
आपण खाल्ला	āpaṇa khāllā	We ate (inclusive, male)
आपण खाल्ली	āpaṇa khāllī	We ate (inclusive, female)
त्यांनी खाल्ले	tyānni khālle	They ate (male/mixed)
त्यांनी खाल्ली	tyānni khāllī	They ate (female)

Future Tense[edit | edit source]

The future tense indicates actions that will happen later.

Using "to eat" (खाणे - khāṇe) again, we see:

Marathi	Pronunciation	English
मी खाणार	mī khāṇār	I will eat (male speaker)
मी खाणार	mī khāṇār	I will eat (female speaker)
तू खाणारस	tū khāṇāras	You will eat (male, informal)
तू खाणारस	tū khāṇāras	You will eat (female, informal)
तो खाणार	to khāṇār	He will eat
ती खाणार	tī khāṇār	She will eat
आपण खाणार	āpaṇa khāṇār	We will eat (inclusive, male)
आपण खाणार	āpaṇa khāṇār	We will eat (inclusive, female)
ते खाणार	te khāṇār	They will eat (male/mixed)
ती खाणार	tē khāṇār	They will eat (female)

 __TOC__
-As a Marathi language teacher with over 20 years of experience, I have seen the struggle many students encounter when learning Marathi verbs. It is common to feel intimidated by the various forms and conjugations, but with time and patience, anyone can master Marathi verbs. In this lesson, we will introduce you to the basics of Marathi verbs, including conjugation, tenses, and forms.
+=== Importance of Verbs in Marathi ===
+In Marathi, verbs play a critical role in structuring sentences and conveying meaning. They help us express actions, such as "to eat," "to go," and "to see." Without verbs, our sentences would lack depth and clarity. Here are some key points about the importance of verbs:
+* '''Action Indicators''': Verbs indicate what the subject is doing.
+* '''State of Being''': They can express states, like feelings or conditions.
+* '''Sentence Formation''': Verbs are essential for forming complete sentences.
+=== Conjugation of Verbs ===
+Conjugation refers to the way verbs change form based on the subject, tense, and aspect. In Marathi, the verb conjugation is influenced by the gender and number of the subject. Here are the basic conjugation rules:
-== Marathi verbs ==
+==== Present Tense ====
-Verbs are essential elements of any language, including Marathi. They are used to indicate action, occurrence, or state of being in a sentence. In Marathi, verbs are often inflected, meaning that they change form to indicate tense, mood, voice, person, and number.
-Here is an example of a Marathi verb in its present tense form:
+The present tense is used to describe actions happening now.
+Here’s how we conjugate a common verb like "to eat" (खाणे - khāṇe):
 {| class="wikitable"
 ! Marathi !! Pronunciation !! English
+|-
+| मी खातो  || mī khāto  || I eat (male speaker)
+|-
+| मी खाते  || mī khāte  || I eat (female speaker)
+|-
+| तू खातोस  || tū khātos  || You eat (male, informal)
+|-
+| तू खातेस  || tū khātes  || You eat (female, informal)
+|-
+| तो खातो  || to khāto  || He eats
+|-
+| ती खाते  || tī khāte  || She eats
+|-
+| आपण खातो  || āpaṇa khāto  || We eat (inclusive, male)
+|-
+| आपण खातो  || āpaṇa khāte  || We eat (inclusive, female)
+|-
+| ते खातात  || te khātāt  || They eat (male/mixed)
 |-
-| खाणे (khāṇē)  || khaa-ne || to eat
+| ती खातात  || tē khātāt  || They eat (female)
 |}
-In this example, the Marathi verb "khāṇē" means "to eat." The pronunciation column includes the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) transcription and the transliteration in the Latin script.
+==== Past Tense ====
-=== Conjugation ===
+The past tense describes actions that have already taken place.
-In Marathi, verb conjugation often changes the verb's stem or base form. There are three main types of conjugation in Marathi: regular, irregular, and defective. Regular verbs usually follow specific rules for tense and mood endings, while irregular verbs have unique conjugations. Defective verbs have missing or incomplete conjugations, making them challenging to use.
-Here is an example of Marathi verb conjugation for the present tense:
+Using the same verb "to eat" (खाणे - khāṇe) again, we have:
 {| class="wikitable"
-! Person !! Marathi !! Pronunciation !! English
+! Marathi !! Pronunciation !! English
 |-
-| First singular || माझं खातो (mājhaṁ khātō) || maa-jhan khaa-to || I eat
+| मी खाल्ले  || mī khālle  || I ate (male speaker)
+|-
+| मी खाल्ली  || mī khāllī  || I ate (female speaker)
 |-
-| Second singular || तू खातेस (tū khātēs) || too khaa-tes || you eat
+| तू खाल्लास  || tū khāllās  || You ate (male, informal)
 |-
-| Third singular || तो खातो (tō khātō) || to khaa-to || he/she/it eats
+| तू खाल्लीस  || tū khāllīs  || You ate (female, informal)
 |-
-| First plural || आम्ही खातो (āmhī khātō) || aam-hi khaa-to || we eat
+| तो खाल्ला  || to khāllā  || He ate
 |-
-| Second plural || तुम्ही खातो (tumhī khātō) || tum-hi khaa-to || you all eat
+| ती खाल्ली  || tī khāllī  || She ate
 |-
-| Third plural || त्यांना खातो (tyāṁnā khātō) || tyaa-nnaa khaa-to || they eat

+|-
+| त्यांनी खाल्ले  || tyānni khālle  || They ate (male/mixed)
+|-
+| त्यांनी खाल्ली  || tyānni khāllī  || They ate (female)
 |}
-In this example, we see how the Marathi verb "khāṇē" is conjugated in the present tense for different persons. The verb changes form depending on the grammatical subject of the sentence.
+==== Future Tense ====
-=== Tenses ===
+The future tense indicates actions that will happen later.
-Tenses are another aspect of Marathi verbs that can be daunting for beginners. There are five main tenses in Marathi: present, past, future, present perfect, and past perfect. Each tense indicates the time of occurrence or state of being of the verb.
-Here is an example of Marathi verb tense for the past tense:
+Using "to eat" (खाणे - khāṇe) again, we see:
 {| class="wikitable"

 |-
-| Second singular || तू खालास (tū khālās) || too khaa-laas || you ate
+| मी खाणार  || mī khāṇār  || I will eat (female speaker)
 |-
-| Third singular || तो खाला (tō khālā) || to khaa-laa || he/she/it ate

 |-
-| Third plural || त्यांना खाले (tyāṁnā khālē)  || tyaa-nnaa khaa-le || they ate
+| ती खाणार  || tē khāṇār  || They will eat (female)
 |}
-In this example, we see the conjugation of the Marathi verb "khāṇē" in the past tense for different persons.
+=== Common Verbs and Their Usage ===
-=== Forms ===
+Let’s explore some common verbs in Marathi, along with their conjugations in present, past, and future tenses.
-Marathi verbs can also take different forms, including imperative, infinitive, and gerund. Each form serves a unique function in a sentence, such as indicating a command, expressing habituality, or functioning as an object or subject.
-Here is an example of Marathi verb forms for the imperative:
+{| class="wikitable"
