Marathi Days of the Week Transliteration: Roman Forms
For Marathi weekday names in Roman transliteration, learn the seven standalone labels first, from Monday through Sunday. The set also gives one complete sentence for saying that today is Monday. Use the label to name a day; use the sentence when you are making a statement about today. The table supplies the exact forms.
Start with these expressions
| English | Transliteration | Native script |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | somvaar | सोमवार |
| Tuesday | mangalvaar | मंगळवार |
| Wednesday | budhvaar | बुधवार |
| Thursday | guruvaar | गुरुवार |
| Friday | shukravaar | शुक्रवार |
| Saturday | shanivaar | शनिवार |
| Sunday | ravivaar | रविवार |
| Today is Monday | aaj somvaar aahe | आज सोमवार आहे |
Use a label to name the day; use a sentence to report today
A useful distinction is function, not spelling. A standalone weekday label works as the name of a day, such as when you identify a calendar entry or answer with the weekday alone. The dictionary passages explicitly identify the Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday labels and their English meanings [1] [2] [3].
A complete sentence does more: it states that today has that weekday. In the selected material, the Monday sentence combines the word for “today” with the weekday and the verb meaning “is”. Therefore, when someone asks which day today is, choose the complete sentence if you want to answer in a full statement; when you only need to name the weekday, the standalone label is enough. The Roman spellings shown here are the forms supplied for learners, so copy them consistently rather than inventing alternate spellings.

Check your answer:
Use expression 8 in the table above.
This entry fits because the situation requires a statement about today, not just the name of Monday. It supplies the full sentence pattern with the weekday included.
Cover the English column and recall the seven labels in order. Then use the complete Monday sentence once, paying attention to the difference between naming a day and stating what today is.
