-बरोबर / -सोबत

With Someone

Level 2Sounds Like barōbara / -sōbata

Both words mean with and can replace each other.

How It Works

Say who comes along with the doer. Both words are used in Pune and Mumbai, in speech and in writing.

Watch the vowel in a word like मैत्रीण: the long ई becomes short before the ending, so you write मैत्रिणीबरोबर.

Both words also work with things: चहाबरोबर बिस्किटे means biscuits with tea.

Use them with any verb of doing together: जाणे, खेळणे, जेवणे, राहणे. For example, मुले आमच्याबरोबर जेवतात means the children eat with us.

A tool or a means takes -ने: चमच्याने खाणे means to eat with a spoon.

With a person, the pair says who goes along: मुले आईबरोबर बाजारात जातात. With food, it says what goes together: भाजीबरोबर भाकरी.

The noun takes its joining shape and the ending joins it.
Using माझे before -बरोबर.
