- माहिती (Māhitī) means 'Information' and is a feminine noun.
- It is used for facts, data, and general knowledge shared between people.
- Commonly paired with verbs like 'give' (deṇe) and 'take' (gheṇe).
- Key in modern terms like RTI (Right to Information) and IT (Information Technology).
The Marathi word माहिती (Māhitī) is a foundational noun in the Marathi language, primarily translating to 'information' in English. It belongs to the feminine gender (स्त्रीलिंगी). In its essence, it refers to facts, data, or knowledge provided or learned about something or someone. Whether you are a traveler asking for directions, a student researching a topic, or a professional analyzing data, 'māhitī' is the word you will use to describe the substance of what you are seeking or sharing.
- Etymological Root
- The term is derived from the Sanskrit root word 'mā' (मा), which relates to measuring or knowing. Over centuries, it evolved through Prakrit into the modern Marathi 'māhitī'. Unlike 'dyān' (knowledge), which implies a deep, internalized understanding, 'māhitī' is more transactional—it is information that can be stored, transferred, and processed.
मला या विषयाबद्दल अधिक माहिती हवी आहे. (I want more information about this subject.)
Usage contexts for 'māhitī' are incredibly diverse. In a digital age, it is frequently paired with technology, such as 'māhitī tantradnyān' (Information Technology). In daily social interactions, it might be used when discussing news, gossip, or general awareness. For instance, when someone says 'Malā māhitī āhe' (I know/I have the information), they are asserting their awareness of a fact. It is a versatile word that bridges the gap between simple awareness and complex academic data.
- Functional Categories
- 1. Formal: Official documents or government notices. 2. Informal: Daily chats about someone's whereabouts. 3. Technical: Data science and computing.
ही माहिती गुप्त आहे. (This information is secret.)
In a cultural context, Marathi speakers value the exchange of 'māhitī'. In rural Maharashtra, 'māhitī' often travels through word of mouth at the 'Chāvadī' (village meeting place), whereas in urban centers like Pune or Mumbai, it is synonymous with the fast-paced flow of internet data. Understanding this word is not just about vocabulary; it is about understanding how communication flows in the Marathi-speaking world.

Using 'माहिती' (māhitī) correctly requires an understanding of Marathi sentence structure, specifically the Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) order. Since 'māhitī' is the object in many sentences, it usually sits in the middle. Because it is a feminine noun, any modifying adjectives must end in 'ī' (ई) and verbs must agree with the feminine gender when 'māhitī' is the grammatical subject.
- Common Verb Pairings
- The most common verbs used with 'māhitī' are: 'deṇe' (to give), 'gheṇe' (to take/get), 'sāngaṇe' (to tell), 'miḷavaṇe' (to obtain), and 'tapāsṇe' (to check/verify).
कृपया मला तुमची माहिती द्या. (Please give me your information.)
When you want to say 'I know,' Marathi uses a unique construction: 'Malā māhit āhe.' Here, 'māhit' is an adjective form. However, if you are referring to the *substance* of the information, you use 'māhitī'. For example, 'Tī māhitī khotī āhe' (That information is false). Notice how 'khotī' (false) is in its feminine form to match 'māhitī'.
आम्ही महत्त्वाची माहिती गोळा केली आहे. (We have collected important information.)
Advanced learners should note the use of postpositions with 'māhitī'. For instance, 'māhitī-bad-dal' (about information) or 'māhitī-sāṭhī' (for information). In these cases, the base word 'māhitī' does not change its form significantly, which is a relief for beginners struggling with oblique cases (vibhakti). The word remains stable because it ends in 'ī'.

In professional settings, you might hear 'māhitī tantradnyān' (Information Technology) or 'māhitī adhikar' (Right to Information). These compound terms show how 'māhitī' serves as a building block for modern administrative and technical vocabulary in Maharashtra.
In Maharashtra, 'माहिती' (māhitī) is omnipresent. From the bustling railway stations of Mumbai to the serene classrooms of rural Vidarbha, this word is the currency of communication. You will hear it most frequently in professional, educational, and administrative environments. If you are standing at a ' चौकशी खिडकी' (Inquiry Window) at a bus stand, the officer will likely use this word to provide details about bus timings.
- News and Media
- Marathi news channels like ABP Majha or Zee 24 Taas use 'māhitī' constantly. News anchors will say, 'Amhālā miḷālelyā māhitīnusār...' (According to the information we have received...). It is the standard term for journalistic data.
ताज्या माहितीनुसार, पाऊस वाढण्याची शक्यता आहे. (According to the latest information, rain is likely to increase.)
In the corporate world of Pune's IT parks (Hinjewadi, Magarpatta), 'māhitī' is used in the context of 'data' and 'specifications'. Marathi-speaking engineers might discuss 'māhitīche visheshṇ' (analysis of information). Even in government offices (Mantralaya), the 'Māhitī va Janasamparka Vibhāg' (Department of Information and Public Relations) is a crucial entity that manages the state's narrative.
Socially, 'māhitī' is used when people exchange personal details. During a 'kāndepohe' ceremony (a traditional Marathi meeting for arranged marriage), the families exchange 'māhitī' about the bride and groom's education, jobs, and family backgrounds. It is the formal way of saying 'details' in a social setting.
आम्ही मुलाबद्दल पूर्ण माहिती काढली आहे. (We have found out complete information about the boy.)
Finally, in the legal and activist spheres, the 'Māhitīchā Adhikār' (Right to Information - RTI) is a powerful tool used by citizens. You will hear activists talking about 'māhitī māgaṇe' (requesting information) from government departments to ensure transparency.
One of the most frequent errors English speakers make when learning Marathi is confusing the noun 'माहिती' (māhitī) with the adjective/predicative form 'माहित' (māhit). While both relate to knowing, their grammatical functions are distinct. For example, saying 'Malā māhitī āhe' can mean 'I have the information,' but if you just want to say 'I know,' the correct phrase is 'Malā māhit āhe.'
- Gender Confusion
- Many learners assume 'māhitī' is masculine or neuter. It is strictly feminine. Using masculine adjectives like 'To māhitī' or 'Chānglā māhitī' is a common mistake. It must always be 'Tī māhitī' and 'Chānglī māhitī'.
Incorrect: तो माहिती बरोबर आहे.
Correct: ती माहिती बरोबर आहे. (That information is correct.)
Another mistake involves the pluralization. In English, 'information' is uncountable. In Marathi, 'māhitī' is also generally used in the singular form even when referring to multiple pieces of data. Beginners sometimes try to force a plural ending like 'māhityā,' which is technically possible in very specific linguistic contexts but sounds very unnatural in standard conversation.
Misuse of postpositions is also common. Learners might say 'Māhitī sathi' (for information) but forget that in Marathi, postpositions attach directly to the word. While 'māhitī' doesn't change much, the flow of the sentence can be broken if you treat it as two separate words in speech. Also, ensure you don't confuse 'māhitī' with 'batmī' (news). While news is information, not all information is news.
Incorrect: मला बातमी हवी आहे (when asking for general info).
Correct: मला माहिती हवी आहे. (I want information.)
Finally, watch out for the pronunciation of the 'h' (ह) in 'māhitī'. It is a soft aspiration. Some learners over-emphasize it or drop it entirely, making it sound like 'māitī'. The 'h' should be a gentle breath that connects the 'mā' and the 'itī'.
While 'माहिती' (māhitī) is the most common word for information, Marathi offers several alternatives depending on the nuance you wish to convey. Choosing the right word can make you sound more like a native speaker and less like a textbook.
- Comparison: Knowledge vs. Information
- ज्ञान (Dyān): This refers to deep knowledge, wisdom, or academic learning. While 'māhitī' is a set of facts, 'dyān' is the understanding of those facts. You have 'māhitī' about a car's engine, but a mechanic has 'dyān' of how it works.
पुस्तकातून आपल्याला माहिती मिळते, पण अनुभवातून ज्ञान मिळते. (We get information from books, but knowledge from experience.)
Other similar words include बातमी (Bātmī), which specifically means 'news' or a report of a recent event. If you tell someone 'Malā ek bātmī miḷālī,' they expect to hear about something that just happened. वृत्तांत (Vruttānt) is a more formal word for a detailed report or account, often used in literature or official reporting.
In a technical or administrative context, you might encounter कडे (Kaḍe) or नोंद (Nōnd). 'Nōnd' means a record or entry. If you are looking at a register, you are looking at 'nōndī' (records), which are a form of 'māhitī'. निरोप (Nirop) means a message. If someone leaves a message for you, it is a 'nirop', not necessarily 'māhitī'.
घटनेचा पूर्ण तपशील द्या. (Give full details of the incident.)
When discussing statistics or raw figures, the word आकडेवारी (Ākaḍevārī) is used. This is a specific subset of 'māhitī' involving numbers. Lastly, सुगावा (Sugāvā) is a wonderful word meaning a 'clue' or 'hint', often used in detective stories or when something is hidden.
How Formal Is It?
"कृपया आपली माहिती अर्जात भरा."
"मला याबद्दल काही माहिती नाही."
"अरे, तुला काही माहिती मिळाली का?"
"पुस्तकात छान माहिती आहे."
"काय माहिती काढलीस?"
豆知識
In ancient times, 'māhitī' wasn't just data; it was often seen as 'measurements' or 'dimensions' of a situation, reflecting its root 'mā' (to measure).
発音ガイド
- Pronouncing it as 'Maiti' (dropping the 'h').
- Making the 'h' too harsh like 'kh'.
- Shortening the final 'ī' to a quick 'i'.
- Changing the 't' to a hard English 'T' instead of the soft dental Marathi 't'.
- Misgendering it in speech, leading to incorrect verb endings.
難易度

Easy to spell, but requires correct gender agreement.
Requires distinguishing between 'māhitī' and 'māhit'.
