Signification
Asking about someone's arrival time.
Contexte culturel
Punctuality is often flexible. If someone says 'I'm coming in 5 minutes,' it usually means they are just starting to get ready. In Pune, people value their afternoon siesta (1 PM to 4 PM). Asking 'Tu kadhi yenar?' during this time might be met with a grumpy response! In the fast-paced life of Mumbai, this phrase is often used in the context of local train timings. In villages, 'coming' is often tied to the harvest or festivals like Diwali. 'Tu kadhi yenar?' is a common question asked to family members working in cities.
The 'ṇār' trick
The '-ṇār' ending is great for beginners because it doesn't change for gender in this question. Use it confidently!
Respect the 'Tumhī'
Always default to 'Tumhī' if you are unsure about the relationship. It's better to be too formal than rude.
