In Marathi, Nakar can be used both formally and informally. It is often used in official contexts such as job rejections, business proposals, and formal requests. However, it can also be used casually when denying something in day-to-day conversations.

Tip of the day:

Start using Nakar to describe rejections or denials in your conversations. Whether you are discussing a proposal that was turned down or refusing something politely, this word will make your Marathi communication more precise and effective.

To soften the impact of Nakar, you can use the phrase क्षमस्व, पण नकार आहे (Kshamasva, pan nakar aahe) – Sorry, but it’s a rejection. This phrase is useful in polite or formal settings when you want to decline something respectfully.
