意味
Specifying a preference for sweetness.
文化的背景
Tea (Chaha) is the social lubricant of Maharashtra. It is usually served 'pre-mixed' with sugar and milk boiled together. This is why you must say 'Sakhar kami taka' *before* the tea is made. In rural areas, a guest asking for less sugar might be seen as being too formal. Hosts love to feed guests. You might have to repeat 'Sakhar kami taka' twice to be taken seriously. In cities like Pune, 'Jaggery Tea' (Gulacha Chaha) is becoming popular as a 'healthy' alternative to sugar. You might say 'साखर नको, गूळ टाका' (No sugar, put jaggery). In Marathi, people often refer to Diabetes simply as 'Sugar'. If someone says 'मला शुगर आहे' (I have sugar), they are explaining why they need 'Sakhar kami'.
Timing is Everything
In India, tea is often brewed in a large pot. If you don't say 'Sakhar kami' immediately, you'll get the standard sweet version.
The 'Diabetes' Excuse
If a host insists on giving you more sugar, simply saying 'Doctoranni sangitlay' (The doctor said so) is a polite way to end the debate.

Don't say 'Sakhar Kami Dya'
