Loanwords you already know
फोन, मोबाईल, इंटरनेट, व्हाट्सअॅप, चार्ज, ऐप, बैटरी, व्हायफाय, ब्लूटूथ, सिम, मेमोरी, स्टोरेज -- the nouns are English loans in Devanagari. The Marathi part is the verb: फोन करा, मेसेज पाठवा, चार्ज करा, डाउनलोड करा, इंस्टॉल करा, डिलीट करा.
Spelling conventions -- the only traps
मोबाइल → मोबाईल (Marathi writes ि and ल), व्हाट्सएप → व्हाट्सअॅप (अॅ for the a-sound), इंटरनेट → इंटरनेट (same), व्हाट्सएप → व्हाट्सअॅप. The candrabindu in मोबाईल and the ॅ in व्हाट्सअॅप are the only spelling flags.
Common mistakes
✗ Writing मोबाइल for mobile✓ मोबाईल -- with ि and ल
Marathi writes the English loan as मोबाईल; the Hindi spelling मोबाइल uses the wrong vowel sign.
✗ Saying इंटरनेट काम करत आहे for "internet is working"✓ इंटरनेट चालू आहे
चालू = on/working; बंद = off. चालू/बंद is the standard on/off pair.
✗ Writing व्हाट्सएप for WhatsApp✓ व्हाट्सअॅप -- with ॅ
Marathi uses ॅ (short e) for the English 'a' in WhatsApp; व्हाट्सएप uses Hindi vowel.
