मतलब
Asking for the time of arrival.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Hospitality is central to Marathi culture. Asking 'When will you come?' is often followed by 'What would you like to eat?'. It is considered polite to give a slightly vague answer like 'I will try to come by 5' to allow for flexibility. In offices in Mumbai or Pune, punctuality is increasingly valued, but 'Marathi Time' still exists. Asking this phrase in a professional context usually expects a more precise answer than in a social context. In villages, arrival is a community event. If a relative is coming from the city, the whole neighborhood might know. The question is asked with great excitement. For Maharashtrians living abroad, this phrase carries a heavy emotional weight of 'Viraha' (separation). It is the most common question asked during video calls to parents back home.
The 'Naar' Trick
The '-णार' suffix is your best friend for the future. It doesn't change for gender, so use it whenever you're unsure!
Pronoun Power
Never use 'Tu' with someone older than you, even if you are close, unless they have specifically asked you to. Stick to 'Tumhi'.

Adding 'Nakki'
Add 'नक्की' (Nakkī - definitely/exactly) before 'कधी' to sound more like a native speaker when you need a firm commitment.

In Marathi, asking 'When will you come?' is often seen as a warm invitation. Don't be surprised if they expect you to visit soon!
