معنی
Used to dismiss something unbelievable or silly.
زمینه فرهنگی
Marathi people value 'Spashtavakta' (being clear-spoken). Using this phrase shows you are part of the 'in-group' that doesn't like fake behavior. In Pune, sarcasm (Puneri Patya style) is an art form. This phrase is often used with a very specific 'Puneri' intonation to sound extra skeptical. Mumbai Marathi is fast and often mixes with Hindi. You might hear 'Kya bhi kahitari!' which is a localized version. This phrase is a staple in Marathi 'Tamasha' and modern comedy films to create instant rapport with the audience.
The Eye Roll
For maximum effect, roll your eyes or tilt your head slightly while saying it. The body language is 50% of the meaning.
Watch the Hierarchy
Never use this with your in-laws or your boss unless you have a very close, joking relationship.
