Cases in Marathi

In grammar, case relates noun or pronoun to the verb present in a sentence. In order to do that, noun or pronoun is distorted/inflected to match with the action of the verb.

for example

1. . (Ram kills)

2. . (Ram killed)

3. . (Ram killed Ravana)

4. .(Ram killed Ravana by an arrow)

The highlighted letters are called case endings that show how subject or object is altered to relate itself to the action. Indian languages including Hindi have ways of altering subjects or objects to mark roles which are not there in English. If you are a Hindi speaker, knowingly or unknowingly you are using it. Marathi case endings and Hindi case endings look very similar.

There are 8 cases in Marathi.

Past tense III

Lets learn a few more rules related to transitive verbs in Past tense

Pronouns or nouns remain in their original form when you use for intransitive verbs in the past tense.

I ran = -/ (mee dhav-lo/li)You ran = -(tu dhavla-li)He ran = (to dhavla)She ran = (ti dhavli)They ran = (te dhavle)But the scene is entirely different for transitive verbs. Lets take our favorite transitive verb: To eat

I ate a Samosa = .(mee samosa khalla)You ate a Samosa= .(tu samosa khalla)He ate a Samosa= .(tyane samosa khalla)She ate a Samosa= .(tine samosa khalla)They ate a Samosa = .(tyanni samosa khalla)Ramesh ate a Samosa = .(rameshne samosa khalla)Priya ate a Samosa = .(priyane samosa khalla)It is more or less like and not like .

This rule is only applicable for third person pronouns.

He read a book. . (tyane pustak vachle)

She asked a question .(tine prashna vicharala)

Sachin hit the ball .(sachine ball marla)

Priya drank water .(priyane pani pile)

Object pronouns

There are two types of pronouns. Subject pronouns and Object pronouns.

Lets see this with an example.

Ajay kills snakes. Ajay eats snakes. Ajay cooks snakes.

All above sentences have only one subject: Ajay. The subject is main actor of the sentence. He is the one who do all the action.

The above sentences have one object: Snake. Snake doesnt do anything. It only receives action from Ajay. The role of an object is to receive actions from the subject.

Now, as we know, pronounis a word that substitutes for a noun in a sentence. Lets read above sentences by substituting pronouns in place of nouns.

Ajay kill snakes. He eats them. He cooks them.

Ajay being a subject noun got replaced with a subject pronoun : He.

Snake being an object noun got replaced with an object pronoun : Them.(Not they)

Me,you,him,her,it,them,us are all object pronouns in English. In Marathi also, object form of a pronoun look different from its subject form.

doesnt stay . It becomes . All marathi pronouns in their object form look same like what they are in subject form except they all get a suffix behind them.Sr.No.CaseEndings/SuffixMarathiEnglishRelated Lessons

Using Can in Marathi

Till now you have seen that how a sentence in the present tense can be converted in to the past tense by just changing the suffix behind the verb.Entire Marathi is about playing and twisting verbs.In this lesson, we shall see, just by slightly modifying the root form of the verb, how a verb can be made to express different meanings.

Can is an auxiliary verb.Marathi equivalent of can is - similar to - in Hindi. However, when you want to say I can do it in Marathi, you have to do one more task apart from putting -// in the sentence. You have to put the sound of oooooo or behind the root form of the verb.

The sentence becomes what it is shown in the picture : (root verb) + -/.

() + -/.

-/.

The root verb becomes , becomes and becomes .

Read the following table to quickly learn the use of Can in Marathi

MarathiEnglish

/.mee homewrk karu shakto/te.I can the homework.

/.me office la jau shakto/te.I can go to the office

.tu ha aamba khau shakto/te.You can eat this mango.

If you want to make a question using Can. It is very very simple .All you have to do is to put behind the sentence.

Can I do it ? = ?

Can you speak Hindi ? = ?

Can I sit here ? = ?
