What are Prepositions?[edit | edit source]

Prepositions are connecting words that establish relationships between other words in a sentence. In Marathi, they are essential for providing context and clarity. They can describe positions, indicate time, and express movement.

Types of Prepositions in Marathi[edit | edit source]

In Marathi, prepositions can be broadly classified into three categories:

Location Prepositions: These indicate where something is situated.

Time Prepositions: These tell us when something happens.

Movement Prepositions: These describe the direction in which something moves.

Let's explore each type in detail.
