Immediate Family Members[edit | edit source]

Let's start by learning the Marathi vocabulary for immediate family members. These are the people who are closest to us and play a significant role in our lives.

In Marathi, we use the term "आई" (ai) to refer to our mother and "बाबा" (baba) for our father. These words are widely used and hold a deep emotional connection in Marathi culture.

Here are some examples:

The word for sibling in Marathi is "भाऊ" (bhau) for a brother and "बहीण" (bahīn) for a sister. These terms are commonly used to refer to our brothers and sisters.

Here are some examples:

Children[edit | edit source]

When referring to our children, we use the word "मुलगा" (mulgā) for a son and "मुलगी" (mulgī) for a daughter. These terms are used to express the unique relationship between parents and their children.

Here are some examples:

The term for spouse in Marathi is "पती" (patī) for a husband and "पत्नी" (patnī) for a wife. These words reflect the bond between married couples and are used to address or refer to one's spouse.

Here are some examples:

Extended Family Members[edit | edit source]

Now let's move on to the Marathi vocabulary for extended family members. These are relatives who are not part of our immediate family but still hold an important place in our lives.

Grandparents[edit | edit source]

In Marathi, the word for grandfather is "आजोबा" (ājobā) and for grandmother is "आजी" (ājī). These terms are used to show respect and affection towards our grandparents.

Here are some examples:

Marathi	Pronunciation	English Translation

आजी	Ājī	Grandmother

Aunts and Uncles[edit | edit source]

When referring to our aunts and uncles, Marathi has specific words based on the relationship. For example, "काका" (kākā) is used for father's brother, "काकू" (kākū) for mother's brother, "मावशी" (māvaśī) for father's sister, and "मावशी" (māvaśī) for mother's sister.

Here are some examples:

Marathi has different words for male and female cousins. "कका" (kaka) is used for male cousins, and "ककू" (kakū) is used for female cousins.

Here are some examples:

Cultural Insights[edit | edit source]

Marathi culture places a strong emphasis on family and relationships. Family members are highly respected and play an integral role in each other's lives. Marathi families are often close-knit, and family gatherings and celebrations are common.

It is interesting to note that Marathi-speaking regions have their unique variations in the usage of family terms. For example, in certain regions, the term "आजी" (ājī) is used for both grandmother and grandfather, while in others, "आजोबा" (ājobā) and "आजी" (ājī) are used specifically for grandfather and grandmother, respectively.

Historically, Marathi culture has been influenced by various dynasties and empires, which have contributed to the diversity in language and traditions. This rich history has shaped the Marathi vocabulary for family members and reflects the cultural values and customs of the region.
