How to Say "I Know" in Marathi

मला माहिती आहे

mala mahiti ahe

To say "I know" in Marathi, use मला माहिती आहे (mala mahiti ahe).

This phrase is used to assert that the speaker possesses certain information or an answer to a matter.

Meaning: assertion that speaker has answer or idea (phrase)

What does it mean word for word?

The phrase breaks down into mala (to me), mahiti (information/knowledge) and ahe (is), which literally translates to "to me information is."

To turn this assertion into a question such as "Do I know?", add the particle ka to the end of the phrase to make it मला माहित आहे का?

mala mahiti ahe

If you want to say 'I know how to do something', like a skill, you would not use मला माहिती आहे. You would use the verb 'yene', literally meaning 'to come', such as 'mala te yete'.
In Marathi, you do not 'know' a person using मला माहिती आहे. Instead, to say 'I know him', you would use the verb 'olakhne', which implies recognition or familiarity.
To say 'I know' in the sense of 'I understand' or 'I see your point', a Marathi speaker might use the word समजलं (samajla) instead of the 'mahiti' construction.
