स्वच्छ पाणी

सवचछ पण

Clean water

意味

Water that is safe and pure.

🌍

文化的背景

Providing water to the thirsty is considered a 'Punya' (merit-earning) act. You will see 'Paanpois' (water stations) everywhere in summer. The 'Vihir' (well) is a sacred spot. People are often asked to remove footwear before approaching a clean water source to maintain its 'Swachhata'. With the rise of water purifiers (RO/UV), 'Swachh Pani' is often synonymous with 'filtered water' in city households. During the 21-day walk, the health of lakhs of pilgrims depends on the 'Swachh Pani' provided by various NGOs and the government.

💡

The 'N' sound

Make sure to use the retroflex 'N' (ण) in Pani. If you use the dental 'n' (न), it sounds like 'Pani' in Hindi, which is fine but less 'Marathi'.

⚠️

Don't say 'Clean Water' in English

Even if you are struggling, try to say 'Swachh Pani'. It is a very basic phrase that every Marathi speaker will appreciate you knowing.
