Is the official KSEAB SSLC First Language Marathi exam multiple choice?

No. The KSEAB SSLC First Language Marathi paper (code 08M) is a mixed written language examination (objective + short/long answers) in Marathi. Mixed written/oral elements may apply under some year schemes. This bank is a free English-language MCQ study adaptation of Marathi language knowledge — not a full writing simulation or official translation of the board paper.

What is paper code 08M?

KSEAB SSLC model-paper indexes list First Language Marathi as MARATHI-08M. Use the current year’s date sheet, syllabus, and model papers on kseab.karnataka.gov.in / kseeb.karnataka.gov.in for exact timing and year-specific instructions.

How long is the paper and what is the total marks?

Language papers are commonly about 100 marks with a duration often reported near 3 hours 15 minutes for First Language sittings. Always verify the current KSEAB date sheet and model-paper instructions for code 08M.

What is the pass mark?

Pass is commonly treated as about 33% of total marks as notified for SSLC subjects. Always verify the current KSEAB notification for pass and any grace-mark rules.

What topics should I revise for First Language Marathi?

Revise Marathi vyākaraṇa (sandhi, samas, vibhakti, linga, vachana, prayog, kal), vocabulary and proverbs/idioms, prose/poetry themes and literary devices, reading strategies, and composition formats (letter, essay, and related writing). Pair with official KSEAB model papers.

Why are these practice questions in English if the official paper is in Marathi?

OpenExamPrep publishes one English-language practice bank per exam URL for students who research and study in English. Authentic Marathi words, short phrases, literary terms, or grammar examples appear in Devanagari when the skill requires them, with English explanations. This is a study adaptation, not an official English sitting of the KSEAB paper and not a substitute for timed Marathi writing practice.

Where can I get official syllabus and model papers?

KSEAB publishes SSLC model question papers and related materials at https://kseab.karnataka.gov.in and https://kseeb.karnataka.gov.in (including SSLC model QP indexes listing FIRST LANGUAGE, MARATHI-08M). Use those for timed handwritten practice after MCQ concept work.

1In Marathi sandhi analysis, the correct sandhi-vigraha (संधि-विग्रह) of 'सज्जन' is:

A.सज् + जन

B.सत् + जन

C.सद + जन

D.सज + जन

Explanation: 'सज्जन' is formed by व्यंजन-संधि from सत् + जन. When a final त्/द् meets initial ज्, the result becomes ज्ज्, giving सज्जन.

2Which sandhi type is illustrated by देव + आलय = देवालय?

A.व्यंजन-संधि

B.विसर्ग-संधि

C.स्वर-संधि (दीर्घ/गुण related)

D.यण-संधि only as the sole label

Explanation: When अ/आ at the end of the first word meets आ at the start of the second, the vowels combine into one long आ: देव + आलय = देवालय. This is a vowel sandhi (स्वर-संधि) pattern taught in school Marathi grammar.

3The compound यथाशक्ती (as per one's strength) is classified as which समास?

A.द्वंद्व समास

B.अव्ययीभाव समास

C.तत्पुरुष समास

D.बहुव्रीही समास

Explanation: यथाशक्ती analyses as 'शक्तीप्रमाणे'. The first member यथा dominates and the whole form functions as an indeclinable adverbial unit — classic अव्ययीभाव समास.

4The word राजपुत्र (son of a king) is an example of:

A.द्वंद्व समास

B.अव्ययीभाव समास

C.तत्पुरुष समास

D.द्विगु समास

Explanation: राजपुत्र vigraha is 'राजाचा पुत्र'. The second member पुत्र is primary and a genitive relation is compressed — standard तत्पुरुष समास.

5In 'मुलांनी खेळले', the ending 'नी' on मुलांनी marks which विभक्ति?

A.द्वितीया

B.तृतीया

C.चतुर्थी

D.पंचमी

Explanation: Marathi third case (तृतीया) plural markers include नी (and related forms). मुलांनी is agentive/instrumental plural of मुलगा/मुले.

6Which word is a भाववाचक नाम (abstract noun)?

A.पुस्तक

B.शौर्य

C.गंगा

D.वर्ग

Explanation: भाववाचक नाम names a quality, state, or feeling. शौर्य (bravery) is abstract. The others are common, proper, or collective nouns.

7Identify the प्रयोग in: 'शिक्षकाने विद्यार्थ्याला शिकवावे.'

A.कर्तरी प्रयोग

B.कर्मणी प्रयोग

C.भावे प्रयोग

D.केवल कर्तरी with no case markers

Explanation: In भावे प्रयोग, both agent and object carry markers (ने / ला) and the verb stays third-person neuter singular independent of their gender/number — matching शिकवावे with शिक्षकाने … विद्यार्थ्याला.

8The feminine form of उंट (male camel) in standard Marathi vocabulary is:

A.उंटिणी

B.सांडणी

C.उंटणी

D.मादी उंट as the only dictionary headword

9Which of the following is a तद्भव word rather than तत्सम?

A.दुग्ध

B.हात

C.पुष्प

D.जल

Explanation: तद्भव words are Sanskrit-derived but phonologically adapted in Marathi. हात comes from हस्त. दुग्ध, पुष्प, and जल keep classical forms and are तत्सम.

A.गुणविशेषण

B.संख्याविशेषण
