معنی
Expressing that something is very good.
زمینه فرهنگی
When a guest says 'Uttam aahe' after a meal, it is common for the host to modestly reply 'Tumchi krupa' (It is your kindness) or 'Aavadle ka?' (Did you really like it?). In Marathi 'Natya Sangeet' (Musical Theatre), the audience often shouts 'Uttam!' or 'Wah!' to encourage the singer during a performance. In Marathi-medium schools, 'Uttam' is often the highest grade remark on a student's report card or essay. Punekars are known for being critical. If a Punekar says something is 'Uttam,' it is considered a massive achievement.
The 'Double T' trick
Make sure to linger slightly on the 't' sound in 'Uttam'. It's a double consonant (त्त), so it should sound stronger than a single 't'.
Accepting Compliments
If someone says your Marathi is 'Uttam,' don't just say 'Yes.' Say 'Dhanyavad' (Thank you) to be polite.
