Hindi to Marathi school words — classroom, subjects, exams and grades — from Unit 11 (education half).
What you will learn
School and study vocabulary from Unit 11 (education half) mapped Hindi to Marathi -- classroom (कक्षा→वर्ग), exams (परीक्षा→परीक्षा), subjects (गणित→गणित, विज्ञान→विज्ञान), grades (अंक→गुण). Each row maps the Hindi word to the Marathi equivalent with the grammar note.
Much of the vocabulary is shared Sanskrit loans (गणित, विज्ञान, इतिहास, भूगोल, परीक्षा, अध्यापक) -- the shifts are in the functional words and the classroom-specific terms (कॉपी→वही, रबड़→खोडरबर, पैमाना→पट्टी).
Tip: Subject names are your free vocabulary -- गणित, विज्ञान, इतिहास, भूगोल, परीक्षा, अध्यापक are identical. The new words are the classroom objects: वही, खोडरबर, पट्टी, टिफिन.
