FAQs
What is thank you in Marathi?
धन्यवाद (dhanyavād) — identical to the Hindi word, so Hindi speakers can use it immediately. A warmer casual option is ढेरीस धन्यवाद.

काही हरकत नाही (kāhī harakat nāhī — 'no problem') or ठीक आहे ('it's fine'). Both work as 'you're welcome'.
Is धन्यवाद formal or casual?
It is neutral — fine everywhere. For very formal thanks use आभारी आहे ('I am grateful'); with friends a simple धन्यवाद or even English 'thanks' is common.
