After Learning Simple Present Tense of “To be” in Marathi, it is easy to march toward learning Present Continuous tense (PCT) in Marathi.
In English PCT sentence is formed as follows
:-
“Pronoun”
|
“form of To be”
|
“Verb+-ing”
|
I
|
am
|
doing
|
Similarly in Marathi PCT sentence is formed as
follows :-
“Pronoun”
|
“form of verb in Simple Present Tense”
|
“form of рдЕрд╕рдгे (asaNe)”
|
рдоी
|
рдХрд░рддो
|
рдЖрд╣े
|
I -> рдоी Do -> рдХрд░ Am -> рдЖрд╣े
Let us take another example. “He eats” in Marathi is “рддो рдЦाрддो”. Form of рдЕрд╕рдгे(“asaNe”) for He is "рдЖрд╣े"(Ahe)
So, “рддो рдЦाрддो” followed by “рдЖрд╣े” -> “рддो рдЦाрддो рдЖрд╣े” is Present
Continuous ( He is eating)
Similarly рддी рд░рдбрддे --> рддी рд░рдбрддे рдЖрд╣े (tI raDate Ahe) is
Present Continuous ( She is cying)
There are few exception for pronoun
"You" and "They"
1) Exception for “You”
You (male) eat --> рддू рдЦाрддोрд╕ (tU khAtos )
The form of рдЕрд╕рдгे(“asaNe”) for You is рдЖрд╣ेрд╕(Ahes). So as per above rule Present
continuous sentence will be “рддू рдЦाрддोрд╕ рдЖрд╣ेрд╕”. But exception is that
ending рд╕(s) is not used in verb рдЦाрддो .
Sentence will be “рддू рдЦाрддो рдЖрд╣ेрд╕”.
2) Exception for "They"
They (plural of He/She/It) eat --> рддे/рдд्рдпा/рддी рдЦाрддाрдд (te/tyA/ I khAtAt )
The form of рдЕрд╕рдгे(“asaNe”) for You is рдЖрд╣ेрдд (Ahet). So as per above rule Present
continuous sentence will be “рддे/рдд्рдпा/рддी рдЦाрддाрдд рдЖрд╣ेрдд”.
But exception is
that ending рддाрдд (tAt) is not used in verb рдЦा. Instead
only рдд(t) is used.
Sentence will be “рддे/рдд्рдпा/рддी рдЦाрдд рдЖрд╣ेрдд”.
So below chart
lists the suffixes of present continuous (which is internally combination of suffixes
for general verb and “to be” in Present continuous).
Exceptions
highlighted.

Style 2 of present continuous tense
Second style of present continuous tense is same as above. Only difference is that, for all nouns and pronouns the suffix for verb is рдд(t).
Both styles are correct and part of standard Marathi.
So this form is bit simpler way for new learner.

So, “рддो рдЦाрддो” followed by “рдЖрд╣े” -> “рддो рдЦाрддो рдЖрд╣े” is Present Continuous ( I am eating)
ReplyDeleteIs it I am eating or he is eating?
if It is I am eating, in matathi " Mi khatho ahe???
I am a beginner , just my doubt only.
Thanks
Raghu
If you check above table again,
Delete"рддो рдЦाрддो" -> "He eats".
So “рддो рдЦाрддो” followed by “рдЖрд╣े” ->“рддो рдЦाрддो рдЖрд╣े” is "He is eating"
Similarly,
"рдоी рдЦाрддो" -> I eat
So "рдоी рдЦाрддो" followed by “рдЖрд╣े” -> "рдоी рдЦाрддो рдЖрд╣े" is "I am eating"
how will i write 'i am trying to study'?
ReplyDeleteTo try -> рдк्рд░рдпрдд्рди рдХрд░рдгे ( prayatna karaNe )
DeleteTo study -> рдЕрдн्рдпाрд╕ рдХрд░рдгे ( abhyAs karaNe )
I am trying -> рдоी рдк्рд░рдпрдд्рди рдХрд░рдд рдЖрд╣े (mI prayatna karat Ahe)
I am trying to study -> рдоी рдЕрдн्рдпाрд╕ рдХрд░ाрдпрдЪा рдк्рд░рдпрдд्рди рдХрд░рдд рдЖрд╣े (mI abhyAs karAyachA prayatna karat Ahe )
Here you have used two verbs. "Try" is main verb and "study" is secondary verb. To understand how the form of verb study became "рдХрд░ाрдпрдЪा" you may refer

THANKS A LOT SIR, I AM TRYING TO LEARN MARATHI THROUGH YOUR BLOGS AND VIDEOS AND I FOUND IT AWESOME. YOUR WAY OF TEACHING IS VERY MUCH HELPFUL FOR BEGINERS LIKE ME. I WANT TO JOIN YOUR HANGOUT GROUP FOR CONVERSASION, SO AS TO BRING OUT FLUENCY IN MARATHI LANGUAGE. PLS HELP.
Deletevery help ful blog....... thank u very much
ReplyDeleteThanks Asifyes, let me know your more detailed response by mailing on learnmarathifast@gmail.com
DeleteVery helpful blog.... Pls let me have your ph no and e mail ID .. I have lot of maharashtrian friends around me ..so I am interested in learning the language well. My suggestion ..you might add some audio clips for sentences for proper learning with right pronunciation
ReplyDeleteMadhavarao
Hi Kesavan,
DeleteThanks for using my blog and appreciation.
You may contact me on :- learnmarathifast@gmail.com
I would like to know more detailed feedback from you like what things you found good, what needs to explained better, what is missing and any other opinion you wish to share.
I am thinking of adding audio/video clips. But it is quite bigger task than writing the post. Looking at my current work-schedule it might take quite long.
Also for Indians, pronunciation will not be much problem.
But I found few videos on you tube, check if you feel them useful.
waiting for your reply,
Kaushik
dear sir, this is really helpful for learning english who have marahti as their mother tongue :) thank you :)
ReplyDeleteIt will be quite "innovative" to use it reverse way.
DeleteBut I am glad that it is helpful anyhow :)
Hello Kaushik,
ReplyDeleteIs it possible for you to publish a list of words with their gender. I often get confused while speaking. I use mostly masculine gender in all the sentences. e.g, Tujhe shoes kuta gele, Bus gela..etc...
This is the peculiar problem of Marathi Learners. To address this I started creating list of Marathi nouns, their gender and plural forms. But I soon realized that this is mammoth task with thousands of nouns in Marathi like any other language. So a good dictionary is permanent and proper solution.
DeleteThe list which I started to create is uploaded as an excel sheet at
https://sites.google.com/site/learnmarathionline/home/nouns-gender-plural-and-forms-for-prepositions
Download the excel sheet to view it correctly.
Excel sheet is not up-to-date. I will keep adding more and more nouns. So please check this link frequently to see newly added nouns.
I would appreciate if you can mail me on learnmarathifast@gmail.com so that we can discuss more about your feedback and suggestions.
Dear kaushik,
ReplyDeleteIn previous pages the verb suffix which is to be added with " you" is " tos " , but in this chapter you have mentioned the sentence " tu radto aahes"
My question is , is something wrong with the line " tu radtos aahes" cuz it just fits in the grammer you have mentioned in the previouus chapters.
Waiting for your reply.
-aayush
Yes, "tu radtos aahes" is grammatically in-correct.
DeleteThis is exception for you.
I explained two exceptions in this lesson :-
1) Exception for “You”"
2) Exception for “They”
Do let me now if it is not clear. You may mail me on learnmarathifast@gmail.com
Hi,i am a starting learner of marathi.this site is very useful.but i have a doubt ,,,,,,in the above u said that in marahi to say- i am doing-me karte/karat ahe.is it can be said in any other ways.
ReplyDeleteHi, Welcome to world of Marathi.
DeleteYes you can say in any of the ways. Both are correct.
can you mail me on learnmarathifast@gmail.com
I generally send updates to blog users whenever new lesson is added etc.
I would like to know more detailead feedback from you like what things you found good, what needs to explained better, what is missing and any other opinion you wish to share.
Thanks,
Kaushik
hi. thank you for explanation. can you tell me how will be "They are going" рддे/ рдд्рдпा/ рддी рдпेрдд рдЖрд╣ेрдд?
ReplyDeleteNot "рдпेрдд", it is "рдЬाрдд"
DeleteThey are coming -> рддे/ рдд्рдпा/ рддी рдпेрдд рдЖрд╣ेрдд
They are going -> рддे/ рдд्рдпा/ рддी рдЬाрдд рдЖрд╣ेрдд
May I know your name please ? Are you learning Marathi using my blog.
Thanks,
Kaushik
So, “рддो рдЦाрддो” followed by “рдЖрд╣े” -> “рддो рдЦाрддो рдЖрд╣े” is Present Continuous ( I am eating)
ReplyDeleteIn this sentence I think it will be "He is Eating" instead of "I am eating"
You are right. It was a copy paste mistake. I rectified it. Thanks for pointing it out.
DeleteMay I know your name please ? Are you learning Marathi using my blog ?
Thanks,
Kaushik
what Is the diff betwn simple present vs continue present ??
ReplyDeleteAre you learning Marathi or English ?
Deletein the crying example 2nd style it should be raDat instead or raDato. At least, this is what you explained.
ReplyDeleteHi Francess (I hope I named you correctly),
DeleteThanks for pointing it out. I have rectified it.
Are you learning Marathi using my blog ?
Thanks.
Kaushik
Hi Kaushik,
ReplyDeleteI find your blog very useful. I have a question - where do we use verb forms like kartoy/boltoy?
Also, one suggestion - can you embed the Youtube/soundcloud links on the page as frames so that one doesn't have to browse away from page, it breaks the continuity.
Thanks,
Swapnil
Hi Swapnil,
Deletekartoy/boltoy are short forms in spoken language. You can find detiled explanation in this lesson :-
http://kaushiklele-learnmarathi.blogspot.in/2012/07/short-forms-in-spoken-marathi.html
Yes, I will try to embed.
I would like to know more about your Marathi learning and experience with my blog so far. Can you please mail me on learnmarathifast@gmail.com
Thanks,

ReplyDeleteAs mentioned above the style 2 is also correct and usable. So is it grammtically correct also and can I use it in exams as well??
