Did you know?
- In many Marathi-speaking households, expressing 'I love you' directly can sometimes feel too intense or 'filmy' for daily life, where affection is more often shown through actions than the literal phrase.
- Using the formal तुमच्यावर instead of the informal तुझ्यावर is not just about respect. In some romantic relationships, couples continue to use the formal version as a sign of deep reverence for their partner.
- The word प्रेम can be used for both romantic love and the deep affection one has for a deity, making it a word with both earthly and spiritual dimensions.
