意思
Being honest in speech
文化背景
The motto 'Satyamev Jayate' (Truth alone triumphs) is inscribed on the Indian national emblem and is a core value taught in all Marathi schools. The spiritual tradition of Maharashtra emphasizes 'Pavitrata' (purity) of speech. Saint Tukaram's verses often highlight that truth is the only path to the divine. The autobiography of Mahatma Gandhi, 'My Experiments with Truth,' is widely read in its Marathi translation 'Satyache Prayog,' influencing generations to value 'Khare bolne.' In cities like Mumbai, 'Khare bolne' is often contrasted with 'Maskari' (joking). People will say 'Khare boltoय, maskari nahi' (I'm speaking the truth, not joking).
Use it as a preface
Start a sentence with 'Khare bolu ka?' (Shall I speak the truth?) when you want to give a honest, perhaps difficult, opinion.
Gender agreement
Don't forget to change 'bolto' to 'bolte' if you are a woman. This is the most common mistake for beginners.
