Marathi Fruits & Vegetables (फळे आणि भाजी)
10 Marathi fruits and vegetables names — केळं to बटाटा — with Hindi meanings, pronunciation, market examples from Units 3 and 9.
What you will learn
The 10 everyday fruit and vegetable names from the Bol Marathi curriculum: केळं, आंबा, सफरचंद, द्राक्षं, संत्रं, बटाटा, कांदा, टोमॅटो, भाजी, फळ. Every entry has Hindi meaning, pronunciation and a market-ready example sentence.
Honest scope: the full food list (32 words) lives at /vocabulary/food/. This page is the quick-reference subset you will actually use at a vegetable cart or fruit stall — quantities, prices and the bargaining line थोडं कमी करा, कृपया.
Tip: भाजी means BOTH vegetable and curry — context tells you which. At the market, एक किलो भाजी द्या = one kilo of vegetables; at home, भाजी तयार आहे = the curry is ready.

Market quantities
एक किलो (one kilo), आधा किलो (half kilo), पाव किलो (250g), दोन किलो (two kilo) — the numbers you need before the noun. Unit 9 drills exactly this: एक किलो भाजी द्या.
Seasonality note
आंबा (mango) is summer; संत्रं (orange) is winter; केळं (banana) year-round. Vendors will tell you काय सुरु आहे? (what's in season?) — learn the cycle, not just the names.
Common mistakes
✗ Using भाजी for a single vegetable✓ भाजी = vegetable (category) AND curry; for a single item say बटाटा, कांदा, टोमॅटो
भाजी is the collective; the specific names are what you buy.
✗ Saying फळ for plural fruits✓ फळ = singular fruit; फळे = plural
The -े plural marker is regular here — आंबा/आंबे, केळं/केळी.
✗ Thinking आंबा is the only mango word✓ आंबा = the fruit; आंब्याचं झाड = the tree
Same root, different referent — the tree appears in the Nature page.
