Q: Personal pronouns are extremely important in Marathiin fact, they make up about 20% of ordinary daily exchanges. As such, they make a good starting point for learning the language. The most common pronouns in Marathi are: mi (I) tu (you) to (he) ti (she) te [m.]/ya [f.] (they) aamhi/aapan (we) It's important to note that the language makes a distinction between the male and female forms of a pronoun. There is also a third, neutral gender case for most nouns called the neuter that typically ends in "e". In the neuter, a noun like the masculine "ghoda" (horse) becomes "ghode," with no specified sex. The indirect object of a sentence receives the direct object or its effects. In the sentence "The cashier handed me the receipt," for instance, the direct object is "me." When used in their indirect object form, the primary pronouns become: mala (me) tula (you) tyala (him) tila (her) aamhala (us) te/tyana (them). In Marathi, the subject of a sentence comes first, followed by the object and finally the verb. To say "I speak Marathi," for example, you would say "mi marathi bolto." Arranging the sentence this way establishes a direct relationship between two things that are tied together by an action. Some other examples of the subject-object-verb structure include "tine tyala patra lihile" ("She wrote him a letter") and "to ingarji baolato" ("He speaks English"). These words point to objects, places, directions, ideas, and anything else that can be either the subject or object of a sentence. There are countless nouns to learn, and they'll become more complex as your understanding of the language continues to improve. For now, concentrate on picking up elementary words, such as: "man" (purush) "woman" (stri) "cat" (maanjr) "house" (ghr) "shoes" (but) "breakfast" (nyaahaari) When learning any new language, it can help to begin with the kind of practical statements and questions that you might use on a daily basis. "Tu kasa ashes," for example, means "How are you?" You might also want to be able to say "mazha nav Carol ahe" ("My name is Carol"), or "mi America hon alo" ("I am from America"). Other useful phrases include: "namaskar" ("Hello") "yeto" [m.]/"yete" [f.] ("Goodbye") "thumhala bhetun anandha jhala" ("Pleased to meet you") "abhari ahe" ("Thank you") "maf kara" ("Sorry") "mala samajatha nahi" ("I don't understand") "punha sanga" ("Please say that again") "sandas kuthe ahe?" ("Where is the restroom?") Marathi uses the Devanagari alphabet to render its consonant and vowel sounds into writing. There are 33 primary consonants and 9 vowel sounds, resulting in 297 possible pairings that can be combined to make longer words. The complete alphabet is as follows (the letters in brackets show the IAST transliteration into English): ("a") ("a") ("i") "i") ("u") ("u") ("r") ("r") ("l") ("l") ("e") ("ai") ("o") ("au") ("am") ("ah") / ("e") ("o") ("ka") ("kha") ("ga") ("gha") ("na") ("ha") ("ca") ("cha") ("ja") ("jha") ("na") ("ya") ("sa") ("ta") ("tha") ("da") ("dha") ("na") ("ra") ("sa") ("ta") ("tha") ("da") ("dha") ("na") ("la") ("sa") ("pa") ("pha") ("ba") ("bha") ("ma") ("va") The Devanagari alphabet is written left to right in horizontal lines, much like many European languages. This should make it a little more intuitive for people who are used to Western ways of reading and writing. Each distinct vowel sound denotes the way a word should be spoken. For instance, "am" indicates a nasal inflection, while "ah" calls for a slight breathy sound at the end of the syllable.
A: Memorize the primary personal pronouns. Learn the indirect object form of each pronoun. Understand proper sentence structure. Familiarize yourself with common nouns. Get a few key phrases down. Study the Marathi alphabet.

Q: Purchase short carrots and cut the tops off them at roughly the same point on each one, so that only about an inch of green is left. Wash the carrots if needed but make sure they're dry before using. Insert as many of these carrots tip down into the glass vase until it is filled. Place in the center of the table. If you make this on the morning of the day of your meal, these carrots can be refrigerated again in the evening, washed again and used for eating.
A: Find a small square vase with thick glass sides and base.

Q: Mix 4 cups (950mL) of hot water with 34 cup (180mL) of mild dish soap. Use a spray bottle to spritz this solution directly onto stink bugs or on the vegetation they've been gathering on. Or try a mixture of equal parts hot water, mild dish soap, and lavender oil to kill the bugs and keep them away. Combine 4 cups (950mL) of warm water with 2tsp (9.9mL) of neem oil in a spray bottle. Shake it thoroughly, then spray it generously on leaves, windowsills, and other potential entryways or hiding spots around the perimeter of your home. As a preventative method, repeat this every other day for about a week. Neem oil works by disrupting the eating and mating instinct of insects. As a result, adult stink bugs that are exposed to it will gradually starve themselves and will not lay any eggs. DE is a natural sedimentary rock containing silica, alumina, and iron oxide that is often used as a natural pesticide. Spread this chalky powder both outside and inside, focusing on entryways like windows and doors along with other areas where stink bugs seem to gather. Dust any stink bugs you see with the powder directly, in addition to spreading the powder out in areas where stink bugs gather. DE works by breaking down the waxy protective layer on an insect's exoskeleton, essentially causing the insect to dehydrate. Look for a bag of DE at your local hardware store.
A:
Spray the stink bugs you see with a soap, water, and lavender oil solution. Use a neem oil spray to prevent stink bugs from laying new eggs. Sprinkle diatomaceous earth (DE) around your property to kill bugs when they try to enter.
