A query that is hard to answer.
文化的背景
In Marathi culture, the 'MPSC' and 'UPSC' exams are seen as the ultimate 'कठीण प्रश्न'. Success in these is a matter of immense family pride. The concept of 'Yakṣapraśna' (The Yaksha's questions) from the Mahabharata is a common cultural reference for a 'कठीण प्रश्न' that tests one's wisdom. Pune is the intellectual hub of Maharashtra. Here, engaging with 'कठीण प्रश्न' in public debates (Vyakhyanmala) is a traditional pastime. On Marathi social media (Twitter/X), 'कठीण प्रश्न' is often used as a hashtag when discussing complex political or social issues.

In an interview, saying 'Hā kathiṇ praśna āhe' is a great way to pause and think without looking lost.
Retroflex N
Make sure to use the retroflex 'ṇ' (ण) in 'Kathiṇ'. Using the dental 'n' (न) is a common beginner mistake.
