A1 Expression フォーマル

लाईट बंद करा

लईट बद कर

Turn off the light

意味

Instruction to switch off electricity.

🌍

文化的背景

Saving electricity is often linked to 'Lakshmi' (wealth). Wasting light is seen as wasting family prosperity. In villages, 'Light' refers to the power supply itself. 'Light geli' means a power cut happened. In fast-paced Mumbai, 'Light off kar' is a common Hinglish blend used even in Marathi-speaking offices. During Diwali, you would never say 'Light band kara' for the oil lamps (diyas); you would say 'Diva vijhava' or let them burn out.

💡

Universal Verb

The verb 'band kara' works for almost all electrical items (TV, Fan, AC, Computer).

⚠️

Don't blow it!

Never use 'vijhava' for a light bulb; it's only for fire.

Yes, in urban areas like Mumbai, 'off kara' is understood, but 'band kara' is the proper Marathi phrase.

It is usually treated as feminine (e.g., 'लाईट लागली'), following the gender of 'Veej'.

You would still use 'लाईट बंद करा' because 'kara' is the plural imperative.

The word is 'बटण' (Button) or 'खटका' (Khatka).
