뜻
A request for repetition.
문화적 배경
Politeness is often expressed through verb endings rather than just adding 'please.' The '-a' in 'Sanga' is the 'Honorific Plural.' Punekars value precise language. Using 'Krupaya' shows you are making a sincere effort to learn their 'shuddha' (pure) Marathi. In bilingual offices, Marathi is used to build rapport. Using this phrase with Marathi-speaking staff shows great respect. In villages, 'Parat bola' might be more common, but 'Krupaya' will mark you as a respectful guest.
The 'Ear' Gesture
In India, cupping your ear slightly while saying this phrase makes your intent 100% clear even in loud noise.
Don't just say 'Kay?'
To English speakers, 'What?' is neutral. In Marathi, 'Kay?' can sound like you are annoyed. Always add 'Krupaya' or 'Sanga.'

자주 묻는 질문
10 질문'Punha' is slightly more formal/literary, 'Parat' is more common in daily speech. Both are correct.
Yes, it is perfectly polite for a professional setting.
Say 'क्षमा करा, मला अजूनही समजले नाही' (Sorry, I still didn't understand).
No, but for an A2 learner, it's a safety net to ensure you don't sound rude.
'Sanga' (tell) implies giving information, while 'Mhana' (say) is just the act of vocalizing. 'Sanga' is more common for repetition.
Use 'परत सांग' (Parat sang) - drop the 'Krupaya' and the '-a'.
Yes, 'पुन्हा?' (Punha?) with a rising intonation works, but it's very informal.
No, for writing use 'पुन्हा लिहा' (Punha liha).
In an email, it's better to say 'कृपया पुन्हा स्पष्ट करावे' (Please clarify again).
'कृपया पुन्हा एकदा सांगाल का?' (Would you please say it once more?)
