Emergency Marathi
मदत, डॉक्टर, रुग्णालय — emergency Marathi you hope to never need.
🔊 Tap any speaker button to hear Marathi spoken. Too fast or slow? Use the speed button at the bottom-right of the page.
The core three save lives: मदत (help), धोका (danger), तातडीची मदत (urgent help). मला मदत करा (please help me) — say it to anyone, anywhere. Marathi crowds respond to distress calls faster than any app; your job is only to ask.
Medical words route the rescue: डॉक्टर (doctor), रुग्णालय (hospital), औषध (medicine), मेडिकल (pharmacy). रुग्णालय कुठे आहे? (where is the hospital?) plus a taxi wave — in cities, help arrives in minutes.
Symptoms speak simply: इथे दुखतंय (it hurts here, point!), मला बरं वाटत नाही (I feel unwell), डोकं दुखतंय (headache), ताप (fever). Pain words plus pointing hands diagnose across every language barrier on earth.
Danger and loss close the kit: आग (fire), चोर (thief), पोलीस (police), हरवलं (it's lost), दूतावास (embassy). Memorise these cold — emergencies never wait for phrasebooks, and ten minutes of drilling buys total peace of mind.
