Signification
Asking for the current calendar date.
Contexte culturel
Marathi speakers often use 'Tarikh' for Gregorian dates and 'Tithi' for Hindu lunar dates. If you ask for the 'Tarikh' on a major festival like Diwali, you might get two answers! In big cities, code-switching is common. You will frequently hear 'Aajchi date kay aahe?' instead of 'Tarikh'. The word 'Tarikh' is synonymous with court hearings. A 'Tarikh' in court is a significant and often stressful event for families. In villages, people might track time by the agricultural cycle or local market days (Bajaaracha divas) rather than the exact 'Tarikh'.
Gender Matters
Always remember 'Tarikh' is feminine. If you say 'Aajcha Tarikh', people will understand, but it sounds like 'Today's (boy) date'.
The 'Kiti' Shortcut
If you forget 'Kay aahe', you can just say 'Aaj kiti tarikh?' (Today how much date?). It's very common and natural.

5 questionsYes, in urban Maharashtra, this is very common due to English influence. However, for exams or formal settings, use 'Tarikh' or 'Dinank'.
'Tarikh' is the common word (Arabic origin), while 'Dinank' is formal/official (Sanskrit origin).
You say 'आज [Number] तारीख आहे'. For example: 'आज दहा तारीख आहे'.
No. For a romantic date, Marathi speakers might use 'Bhet' (meeting) or just the English word 'Date'.
Because 'Tarikh' is a feminine noun, and the possessive suffix must match its gender.
