OPPOSITES in Thanjavur Marathi

While all languages across the globe have opposites in their vocabulary, TM or Dakshini Marathi as it is called has its own set of them.
Unfortunately some of these words are forgotten as we replace them with English or Hindi or any other language.

Some are so peculiar to us that I had to really search for words to describe them exactly. 

Here are a few of them...
