Are you confused with the names of fruits and vegetables in Marathi?– We will help you learn here

Our Indian population is divided into various states with different languages & furthermore, these languages are divided into dialects wherein the spoken dialect of each language differs in each district of a single state.

For example: In Maharashtra, the spoken language differs slightly in dialect across the states district; Kolhapur Marathi has a different tone from Marathi spoken in Mumbai. It’s the same in other states too.

It has been observed that a local person faces embarrassment in a simple situation too if he does not know the local or common name of a fruit or vegetable.

As the Market consists of buyers & sellers from different states who have met in a common marketplace to transact sales & purchase local commodities known to each of them by a different name, here the common language like English solves the issue.
