While we all have descended to just 'two' words to describe tastes... "Yuck' if it is bad and 'Yum' if it is good, we did have words to describe 'tastes' once upon a time before the 'yuck' and 'yum' took over universally!
Here I bring to you the common 'Tastes' as described in Thanjavur Marathi.....
AMBAT......SOUR
KADU ....... BITTER
THIKHAT........ SPICY
KHAARAT........ TOO SALTY
THURAT ........ ASTRINGENT
GULCHEET ....... SWEET
SAPPAK....... BLAND
KHAVATHA...... IS THE ITCHY SENSE IN THROAT After eating foods that cause allergic sensation

Hi, Why have you stopped writing new posts ? I recently came across your blog and found it interesting. I am marathi from mumbai and just came to know about thanjavur marathi people. Keep posting. Happy to meet marathi people from thanjavur.
ReplyDeleteIn SM, insipid is sapak, but many people simply say, aLaNi, which actually means, saltless.
ReplyDeleteguLchat-mat exists in SM and means sweetish. But in DM, we say, guLcheet for sweet and guLmat for sweetish!
