A2 Collocation ニュートラル

लहान मुल

लहन मल

Small child

意味

Common way to refer to a young kid.

🌍

文化的背景

The 'Barse' (naming ceremony) is the first major event for a 'लहान मुल'. It usually happens on the 12th day after birth. The concept of 'Bal-Sahitya' (Children's Literature) is very strong, with magazines like 'Chandoba' being a staple for every 'लहान मुल' for decades. During the festival of 'Dasara', children are often given 'Apta' leaves as 'gold' by elders, symbolizing prosperity for the 'लहान मुल'. Marathi lullabies, called 'Angai Geet', often use the word 'Bala' or 'Mul' to soothe a child to sleep.

💡

The Neuter Rule

Always remember that 'Mul' is neuter. Use 'Te' and 'Ti' instead of 'To' and 'Ti' (masc/fem).

⚠️

Plural Anusvara

Don't forget the dot (anusvara) on 'मुलं'. Without it, it's singular.

自分をテスト

Fill in the blank with the correct form of 'मुल'.

ती ______ बागेत खेळत आहेत. (Those children are playing in the garden.)

✓ 正解! ✗ おしい! 正解: मुलं

The sentence uses 'ती' (plural neuter pronoun) and 'आहेत' (plural verb), so we need the plural form 'मुलं'.

Choose the correct translation for 'I gave a toy to the small child'.

मी ______ खेळणं दिलं.

✓ 正解! ✗ おしい! 正解: लहान मुलाला

When adding the postposition '-ला' (to), 'मुल' changes to its oblique form 'मुला'.

Match the phrase to the most appropriate situation.

When would you use 'लहान बाळ' instead of 'लहान मुल'?

✓ 正解! ✗ おしい! 正解: A 2-month-old infant in a cradle

'Baal' is specifically for infants/babies, while 'Mul' is for slightly older children.
