Learning the Marathi Verbs is very important because its structure is used in every day conversation. The more you master it the more you get closer to mastering the Marathi language. But first we need to know what the role of Verbs is in the structure of the grammar in Marathi.
Marathi verbs are words that convey action (bring, read, walk, run), or a state of being (exist, stand). In most languages a verb may agree with the person, gender, and/or number of some of its arguments, such as its subject, or object.
- Present Tense
In Marathi, verbs take the following endings to form the present tense:
Aahe, To, Te
I am playing cricket : Me cricket khelate aahe. (feminine)
Me cricket khelato aahe (masculine)
- Past Tense
In Marathi as well as in English the simple past tense (imperfect) is used to describe past events. The endings for the past tense verbs are: Hoto, hote, O, le, li. Example(feminine/masculine): gele/gelo/geli, khelat hoto/hote, gadi sutali
I played cricket: Me cricket khelale (feminine)
Me cricket khelalo (masculine)
I was playing cricket: Me cricket khelat hoto/hote.
- Future Tense
To form the future in Marathi it’s very easy, just use the whole infinitive verb plus these following ending: een, eel Example: jaeen, kareen, yesheel
I will play tomorrow: Me udya kheleen.
