Recall drills — 126 more questions from the B1 words

These 126 drills are generated from the Marathi B1 vocabulary list — the words of “Personal and Professional Communication” through “Home, Society, and Culture”, in both directions: recognition (word → meaning) and production (meaning → word). They re-ask what the course data already contains; no answer here was written by a machine, and a generated drill is practice, never a lesson.

Marathi B1 beyond the drills — culture, reading, listening, idioms

These sections are written for Marathi B1 specifically. The reading text is EkGuru's own; the culture note cites where its facts come from; the idioms and the mistakes list are the ones this level actually trips over.

Culture note

The first public Marathi play, Sita Swayamvar by Vishnudas Bhave, was staged at Sangli in 1843 and grew out of the travelling troupes of the time; by the 1950s the Marathi stage had musicals, farces and history plays, and after it the experimental theatre of Vijay Tendulkar and Satish Alekar. What marks it is that the rehearsal is a public institution: the नाट्यसंमेलन and the drama school culture around Pune and Mumbai keep an audience for a play that runs for years.

Source (named, not linked): en.wikipedia.org, the article “Marathi theatre”.

Reading — read this aloud, slowly

What it says: Last week there was an important meeting at our office. I had prepared the report, but the presentation was my colleague's responsibility. She set out the figures clearly and answered the questions directly. The managers raised objections on two points — time and cost. We decided to recheck both figures and answer at the next meeting. At the end of the meeting everyone agreed on one decision: the work would be done in two stages. In that meeting I learnt that it is timely preparation and clear answers that build trust.

Listening — one voice, one text

Use the speaker button to hear this text with a browser voice tagged mr-IN; playback starts only after a click. If no matching voice is installed, read it aloud yourself — the rhythm is the point.

What it says: Manager: Will the report reach me by tomorrow evening? Newcomer: Yes, but two figures still have to be checked. Manager: All right, check them and let me know. And do mention the deadline. Newcomer: Certainly. I will send the report tomorrow morning itself. Manager: Please write both the time and the date in the e-mail.

10 idioms and fixed phrases

The 3 mistakes this level makes

• मी उद्या येतो. → मी उद्या येईन. A promise about tomorrow takes the future: येईन, जाईल, कळवीन. येतो describes a habit.
• कृपया अहवाल पाठव. → कृपया अहवाल पाठवा. कृपया goes with the तुम्ही imperative in -ा: पाठवा, बसा, सांगा. पाठव belongs to तू.
• माझं सहकारी आला. → माझा सहकारी आला. The possessive agrees with the noun it owns: माझा सहकारी, माझी टीम, माझे काम.

Your task

Write a short office note in Marathi Write five Marathi sentences for a colleague: what has happened, who is doing what by when, one polite request with कृपया … करा, one promise in the future tense (कळवीन, पाठवीन), and one closing line. Keep the register polite and the verbs in the तुम्ही form.

After B1: the B1+ checkpoint

B1+ is not a certificate — it is the half-step between Marathi B1 and the next level, and it is on this site’s ladder because language schools use it. You are at B1+ when you can work in the language, argue a point politely. Get there by working the recall drills above and the review deck until nothing on this page surprises you, then open the B2 pages.
