Did you know?
- In many parts of Maharashtra, if a person says they 'received an injection', they might use the verb घेणे (ghene), which means 'to take', rather than a verb meaning 'to receive'.
- If a person is frightened of the process, they might describe the sensation as टोचणे (tochne), which describes the physical sensation of being pricked or stung.
- In rural Marathi dialects, you may hear the word 'suichi' (needle) used even more frequently than the English loanword to describe the injection itself.

- मला एक इंजेक्शन घ्यावे लागेल.malā ek injection ghyāve lāgel.I will need to take an injection.
