chalata ho
Did you know?
- The word हो (ho) in this expression actually originated from the Sanskrit word आम् (ām), which means 'yes'.
- The word चालता (chalata) is derived from the root for 'walking'. To tell someone to 'get lost' in Marathi is literally to tell them to 'keep walking'.
- If you want to be even more blunt, adding a suffix to the verb can turn this polite-sounding 'keep walking' into a sharp order that is socially riskier to use.
