Pronouns :-
Hindi has three genders Masculine i.e. पुल्लिंग (pulliMg ) and Feminine
Marathi has three genders like English. Masculine i.e. पुल्लिंग (pulliMg ) and
Feminine i.e. स्त्रील िंग (strIliMg ) and neuter i.e. नपुसकल िंग (napusakaliMg)
So In Mumbaiyya Hindi people tend to use "आपन" which nothing but version
of Marathi "आपण"
While speaking any language we tend to use short cuts of verb forms. Using
spoken language.
Bookish sentence is marked as (BO) and Spoken language sentence is
marked as (SP)
Other pronouns :-
In Hindi we say, अपना काम करो, खुदको पहचानो . For Hindi pronoun स्वयिं
*********
मुझे मराठी थोडी थोडी आती है ( mujhe marAThI thoDI thoDI AtI hai )
आप कैसे हो ?( Ap kaise ho ? )
(पुरूष से ) तुम्ही कसे आहात ( (purUSh se ) tumhI kase AhAt )
(स्त्री से ) तुम्ही कश्या आहात ( (strI se ) tumhI kashyA AhAt )
But in Marathi, we tend to use "ती मु े" instead of "ते मु गे". This is just a
natural.
So below I have given few sentences which will answer questions likem How
to welcome guests in Marathi", "How to speak with guests in Marathi" etc.
(to someone more familiar) आपसे लम कर खुिी हुई (Apase milakar khushI
huI) ->
तुम्हा ा भेर्टून बरिं र्ार्ट िं (tumhAlA bheTUn baraM vATalaM )
2)यह सुनकर खुिी हुई लक .... (yah sunakar khushI huI ki ...) ->
हे ऐकून बरिं र्ार्ट िं की (he aikUn baraM vATalM kI) /
हे ऐकून आनिंद झा ा की (he aikUn AnaMd jhAlA kI)
31) यह दे खकर खुिी हुई लक ... (yah dekhakar khushI huI ki ..) ->
हे बघून बरिं र्ार्ट िं की (he baghUn baraM vATalM kI) /
हे बघून आनिंद झा ा की (he baghUn AnaMd jhAlA kI )
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
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 is no difference between त्याचे and त्याचिं .It is just a way of speaking.

त्यािं चिं[tyancha] or त्यािं चे (tyanche),त्यािं चा[tyanchaa] and त्यािं ची (tyanchi) all refers to “THEIR” in
English. The difference between them depends on what follows after “THEIR”.
If the object following after “THEIR” is neither male nor female (neuter) then we use त्यािं चिं[tyancha]
or त्यािंचे (tyanche).
If the object following after “THEIR” is male then we use त्यािं चा[tyanchaa].
If the object following after “THEIR” is female then we use त्यािं ची (tyanchi).
