सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
In cities like Pune, being 'well-read' and 'well-informed' is a point of pride. Using this phrase shows you are keeping up with current affairs. In a Marathi office, saying 'मला हे माहीत होते' is a way to show competence without being overly aggressive, as long as it's followed by a 'thank you'. In rural areas, people might use 'ठाऊक' more often than 'माहित'. 'माहित' can sometimes sound a bit 'city-like' or formal. On platforms like Twitter or Facebook, you'll see 'मला हे माहीत होतं' used in political debates to show that a certain outcome was expected.
Agreement is Key
Remember to change 'होते' to 'होती' if the thing you knew is feminine (like 'बातमी' - news).
Don't be a 'Shana'
Avoid saying this too much when someone is trying to teach you something; it can seem rude.
