FAQs
How do you say I am tired in Marathi?
मला थकवा आहे (malā thakavā āhe). The casual everyday form is मी थकलो आहे (male) or मी थकले आहे (female).
Why is it मला and not मी?
Marathi frames tiredness like hunger — it arrives at you. थकवा (tiredness) is the subject, so it needs मला ('to me').
How do you say rest in Marathi?
आराम (ārām). आराम करा = take rest — the standard caring reply to someone who says they are tired.
