Signification
Directing someone's attention to a specific spot.
Contexte culturel
Pointing with the index finger is common but avoid pointing it directly at an elder's face. Use a whole-hand gesture for extra politeness. In villages, people might say 'इयाडं बघ' (Iyad bagh) in local dialects, but 'Ikade bagh' is understood everywhere. On Instagram or WhatsApp, 'Ikade bagh' is often used in captions with a pointing finger emoji (👉). In a Marathi office, even if you are friends with a colleague, use 'Ikade बघा' if others are listening to maintain professional decorum.
Use your hands
Always point when saying this; it makes you sound much more like a native speaker.
The Age Rule
If the person has grey hair, never say 'Bagh'. Always say 'Bagha'.
