मानक
The English word 'standard' can be translated into Marathi as मानक.
The word refers to a level of quality.
Meaning: level of quality (noun)
Did you know?
- The word मानक is derived from the root मान, which refers to 'measurement' or 'honor'. In Marathi, the same root is used to describe both a technical standard and a person's social dignity.
- When referring to a 'standard' as a physical flag or banner, Marathi speakers would not use मानक but instead use ध्वज or निशान, as the concept of quality is separated from the concept of a marker.
- In many administrative contexts, the Marathi word for 'standard' is often replaced by the Sanskrit-derived प्रमाण (pramāṇa), which implies a weight or measure used to verify truth.
