Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds

Marathi consonants are phonetic building blocks; each letter represents a specific sound, and they combine with vowels to form syllables.

  • Consonants are written from left to right: 'क' (ka).
  • Most consonants carry an inherent 'a' sound: 'ख' is 'kha'.
  • Diacritics (matras) change the vowel sound attached to the consonant.
Consonant + Vowel = Syllable (क + ा = का)
