आ-ई-ए-ए-या-ई  (A-I-e-e-yA-I) Rule :- 

The title of this article looks strange. But as you will read it you will see that it is not strange rather you have already learnt it.

Recall the article about adjectives. There we had said that if masculine-singular form of adjective ends with आ(A) then there will be different forms of adjective depending on gender and multiplicity. E,g, काळा/ काळी /काळे etc.

Similarly in article about “To want” we saw that different forms of हवा ( havA) are used depending on on gender and multiplicity of object. E.g हवा / हवी / हवे  etc.

I think by now you must have found out that these forms follow specific pattern. I call it “आ-ई-ए-ए-या-ई  rule”

i.e if masculine-singular form ends with आ(A) and words has different form as per gender-multiplicity then ending will be

masculine singular       आ (A)

feminine singular         ई (I)

neuter singular            ए (e)

masculine plural          ए  (e)         

feminine plural            या (yA)                               

neuter  plural              ई  (I)

When you will observe below table you will understand it clearly and will also realize that in many articles wherever we had mentioned such forms, they were actually following this rule. So you do not need to learn them by heart. You can create different form of words your self

Singular				Plural
	Masculine	Feminine	Neuter	Masculine	Feminine	Neuter
English word	आ (A)	ई (I)	ए (e)	ए (e)	या(yA)	ई (I)
my	माझा mAjhA	माझी  mAjhI	माझे mAjhe	माझे mAjhe	माझ्या mAjhyA	माझी  mAjhI
speaking	बोलणारा bolaNArA	बोलणारी bolaNArI	बोलणारे bolaNAre	बोलणारे bolaNAre	बोलणार्‍या bolaNAr^yA	बोलणारी bolaNArI
want	हवा havA	हवी havI	हवे have	हवे have	हव्या havyA	हवी havI
grey	करडा karaDA	करडी karaDI	करडे karaDe	करडे karaDe	करड्या karaDyA	करडी karaDI

Note :- 
1)  When applying this rule ending with consonant स(s), we use श(sh) instead of स(s) for :-
feminine singular 
feminine plural 
neuter plural

So forms for कसा (kasA) are :-
कसा-कशी-कसे-कसे-कश्या-कशी (kasA-kashI-kase-kase-kashyA-kashI)

2) As you know letters च(ch), ज(j), झ(jh) have two pronunciation in Marathi.
One is lighter and other is heavier.
When applying this rule to words ending with consonant च(ch), ज(j), झ(jh), heavier sound is used for :-
feminine singular 
feminine plural 
neuter plural
