Rarely Used/ Some Forgotten Thanjavur Marathi Words and Phrases

Even though these words are frequently used by many TMDs ,  I rarely hear these words from the younger and upcoming generation. English is used for all these words and slowly our language is getting dissolved. How many times do we really use 'KHOLI' when talking to our kids. Most of the time we say  'ROOM'! ot "kamra"

It is true that TMDs living in TamilNadu are still able to maintain and preserve our Marathi but those outside Tamil Nadu , even Bangalore slowly begin to use the local terms! Therefore I address these common words as Rarely Used. By Rarely Used I mean outside of our mainland, Tamil Nadu!
