मराठी
All languagesAlfaaz speaks warm, everyday Marathi on WhatsApp, then keeps each answer as audio, transcript, and a growing family story.
To record your parents' stories in Marathi, begin with the world around a memory rather than asking for a whole life at once. Alfaaz sends one spoken Marathi question on WhatsApp, follows what your parent actually says, and preserves the answer in their voice. There is no journal to fill and no new app to learn.
“तुम्ही जो आंब्याच्या झाडाचा उल्लेख केलात, आजोबांच्या अंगणात अजून काय उगवायचं, आणि त्याची काळजी कोण घ्यायचं?”Marathi warmth lives in register as much as vocabulary. A respectful तुम्ही, an easy “बोलूया,” and the rhythm of everyday speech can make a parent feel listened to. Stiff, over-Sanskritized Marathi can make the same question feel like an interview form.
Alfaaz uses conversational Marathi in Devanagari, with the तुम्ही honorific and inclusive forms such as बोलूया and ऐकूया. It avoids Hindi-shaped phrasing when a natural Marathi construction exists, while still allowing the English words an elder already uses.
Follow the memory
Specific questions unlock scenes. Relationship words keep every person in the right place.
“तुम्ही जो आंब्याच्या झाडाचा उल्लेख केलात, आजोबांच्या अंगणात अजून काय उगवायचं, आणि त्याची काळजी कोण घ्यायचं?”Use the courtyard to recover the people and routines around it.
Marathi family words need context. आजी and आजोबा can refer to either side of the family, unlike the dadi and nani split in Hindi. माहेर, सासर, वाडा, मावशी, आत्या, and काका each carry a place inside the family map. Alfaaz keeps that context across sessions instead of flattening every relation into “grandmother” or “uncle.”
A Marathi life story often lives inside places as much as dates: the वाडा, the माहेर, the Ganpati room, the school ground, the first rented room in Pune or Mumbai. Those words are not decoration. They are coordinates for the next memory.
Your parent only speaks. Alfaaz carries the structure, memory, and archive.
