Bilingual Summary
English
This lesson introduces the Vocative Case (Sambodhan Vibhakti) in Sanskrit, which is used for addressing or calling someone directly.
Singular Masculine (A-ending): The Visarga is dropped (e.g., Vinayah → Vinaya).
Singular Feminine (Aa-ending): The ending changes to 'e' (e.g., Mithila → Mithile).
Plural Address: Forms like Bhoh Chatrah (Oh Students!) or He Mahilah (Oh Women!) are used.
Words like Re, Ayi, Bhoh, and He are often used as prefixes to show different emotions or levels of respect while calling.
Marathi (मराठी)
हा पाठ संस्कृतमधील संबोधन विभक्ती (हाक मारणे) ची ओळख करून देतो. एखाद्याला उद्देशून बोलताना किंवा हाक मारताना याचा वापर होतो.
अकारान्त पुल्लिंगी एकवचन: शब्दापुढील विसर्ग काढून टाकला जातो (उदा. विनयः → विनय).
आकारान्त स्त्रीलिंगी एकवचन: शब्दाच्या शेवटी 'े' मात्रा लागते (उदा. मिथिला → मिथिले).
बहुवचन: 'भोः छात्राः' (हे विद्यार्थ्यांनो) किंवा 'हे महिलाः' (अहो महिलांनो) अशी रूपे वापरली जातात.
संबोधनापूर्वी 'रे', 'अयि', 'भोः', 'हे' यांसारखे शब्द भावना किंवा आदर व्यक्त करण्यासाठी वापरले जातात.
