Answering Questions in Marathi

Questions are an essential part of communication, and being able to answer them is just as important as asking them. In this lesson, you will learn how to answer different types of questions in Marathi, including yes/no questions and questions with multiple-choice answers.

Yes/No Questions

Yes/no questions are questions that require a simple "yes" or "no" answer. In Marathi, yes/no questions are formed by adding the word का (ka) at the end of a sentence. For example:

Marathi	Pronunciation	English
तुम्ही माझ्या सोबत आलात का?	"tumhī māzyā sobat ālāta kā?"	Did you come with me?
हे तुमच्या सुंदर आहे का?	"hē tumacyā sundara āhē kā?"	Is this beautiful to you?

To answer a yes/no question in Marathi, you can simply respond with हो (ho) for "yes" or नाही (nāhī) for "no". For example:

Question	Marathi	Pronunciation	English
तुम्ही माझ्या सोबत आलात का?	हो (ho)	"ho"	Yes, I came with you.
हे तुमच्या सुंदर आहे का?	नाही (nāhī)	"nāhī"	No, this is not beautiful to me.

Questions with Multiple-Choice Answers

Questions with multiple-choice answers are questions where you are presented with a list of options to choose from. In Marathi, these questions are formed using the same question words as normal questions (such as "what" and "where"), followed by the word आहे (āhē), which means "is" or "are".

Here is an example:

Question	Marathi	Pronunciation	English
तुमच्या बोटे रंग कोणतं आहे?	"tumacyā bōṭē raṅga kōna-ta āhē?"	What color are your shoes?

To answer a question with multiple-choice answers in Marathi, you can use a variety of words and phrases to indicate your choice. Some common ones include:

• हो (ho) - "yes"
• नाही (nāhī) - "no"
• हे (hē) - "this"
• ते (tē) - "that"
• सफेद (safēd) - "white"
• काळा (kāḷā) - "black"
• लाल (lāl) - "red"
• पिवळा (pivḷā) - "yellow"
• हिरवा (hirvā) - "green"
• नीला (nīlā) - "blue"

Here is an example conversation:

Person 1:	तुमच्या बोटे रंग कोणतं आहे?	"tumacyā bōṭē raṅga kōna-ta āhē?"	What color are your shoes?
Person 2:	हे पिवळे आहेत	"hē pivḷē āhēt"	They are yellow.
