  • म्हातारे (mhātāre) is used instead of जुने (j̈une) when referring to the advanced biological age of people or animals, especially senior citizens.[3]
  • जुने (j̈une) generally refers to the age of things rather than people. An exception to this generalisation is when it refers to for people that have been known for a long time such as:[3]
    जुना मित्रj̈unā mitraa longtime friend
which is distinct from:
म्हातारा मित्रmhātārā mitraan elderly friend
