Common Mistakes
- ❌ शायद (Hindi) → ✅ कदाचित / बहुतेक (the Marathi hedges)
- ❌ कदाचित in every sentence → ✅ daily speech prefers बहुतेक and पाहू; कदाचित is the written register
Tip: पाहू ('we'll see') is the gentlest no in Marathi. Nobody takes it as commitment — it's the polite way to keep a door open.
