Signification
Advising someone to take their prescribed medication.
Contexte culturel
Visiting a sick person usually involves asking about their 'Aushadh-paani'. It is a sign of deep concern. Many Marathi speakers use 'Aushadh' to refer to both modern medicine and traditional Ayurvedic remedies. It is common for younger people to physically bring the medicine and a glass of water to an elder while saying 'औषध घ्या'. The use of 'Ghya' vs 'Ghe' is a primary marker of a person's 'Sanskar' (upbringing) in Maharashtra.
The 'Ghya' Rule
When in doubt, always use 'Ghya'. It is never offensive to be too polite, but being too casual can be.
Aspiration Matters
Make sure to pronounce the 'h' in 'dh' and 'gh'. If you say 'Ausad gya', it sounds very non-native.
