المعنى
An informal invitation to visit whenever one wishes.
خلفية ثقافية
In cities like Mumbai and Pune, 'कधीही या' is often followed by a quick WhatsApp message. It's a way to stay connected despite busy schedules. In villages, this is a literal invitation. Expecting a guest to call before arriving is considered slightly 'city-like' and formal. Among Marathi speakers abroad, this phrase is a powerful tool for community building and nostalgia. Famous authors like Pu La Deshpande have often used this phrase to depict the simple, welcoming nature of the middle-class Marathi household.
The 'Hi' Factor
Always remember the '-hi'. Without it, you are asking a question, not giving an invitation.
Don't be too literal
Even if someone says 'anytime', avoid visiting very early in the morning or late at night.
