Ways to say it
| Marathi | Romanization | Note |
|---|---|---|
| माझं तुझ्यावर प्रेम आहे | māzaṃ tujhyāvar prēm āhē | standard |

| मी तुझ्यावर प्रेम करते | mī tujhyāvar prēm karte | said by a woman |
Is there a formal and an informal way to say it?
For a girl you know well तू is natural. Use तुमच्यावर (tumcyāvar) only if you want to be very respectful, which is rare in a love declaration.
How does it change in a sentence?
The verb changes with the speaker. A man says करतो (karto) and a woman says करते (karte). तुझ्यावर (tujhyāvar) means "on you" and uses the casual तू (tū).
When do people say it?
प्रेम (prēm) is the deeper word for love. For a milder "I like you" Marathi speakers say मला तू आवडतेस (malā tū āvaḍtēs) to a girl.
Did you know?
- Marathi verbs agree with the gender of the speaker, so the same love declaration has a male and a female form.
