Instructing someone to do something.
Contexte culturel
The word 'Aadesh' is often used in political rallies. It signifies the supreme command of the party leader, which followers (Karyakartas) must obey. Historical documents use 'Aadnya' or 'Aadesh' to denote royal decrees. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's 'Aadnyapatra' is a famous treatise on statecraft. In literature, 'Aadesh' can be used by nature or fate. A poet might say 'काळाचा आदेश' (The command of time/death). In modern Pune or Mumbai offices, 'Aadesh' is becoming rarer in English-speaking circles, replaced by 'Task' or 'Request', but it remains standard in Marathi-medium administration.
Use with 'la/na'
Always remember to add 'la' or 'na' to the person you are giving the order to. (e.g., मुलाला आदेश दिला).
Don't be too bossy
Avoid using this with friends unless you are joking. It can sound very arrogant.
