- ❌ मतलब क्या है (Hindi) → ✅ अर्थ काय? (Marathi uses अर्थ; मतलब is heard but Hindi-flavoured)
- ❌ याचा vs याला mix-up → ✅ याचा अर्थ काय? (meaning OF this); याला काय म्हणतात? (what is this CALLED)
Tip: Ask for the Hindi meaning too — याचा हिंदी अर्थ काय? — if you already think in Hindi; it wires the new word onto what you know.
