Really? I wasn't expecting that. I knew Bengali had an extensive case system but it's an eastern Indo-Aryan language so it's not all that closely related to Hindi. I did know Marathi had exclusive and inclusive we though. (It's not that uncommon - some dialects of Mandarin have it.)Meera wrote:If you know Hindi, vocabulary and reading in Marathi will be fairly easy. The hardest thing will be the grammar, unlike Hindi, Marathi has three genders and it has six cases (nominative, accusative, dative, genitive, locative, instrumental, and oblique).Unlike Hindi, it aslo has an inclusive and exclusive "we". I think Hindi can help with grammar though because it still has the SOV format and since Hindi has cases it can help you grasp the case system better. But I think knowing Hindi will help a lot with Marathi.
