I want to learn Marwari
Translation:
Mahnne Marwari seekhno hai.
or
Mahnne Marwari seekhni hai.
Here, the former is typical Marwari and the latter is Marwari mixed with Hindi. The latter is mostly used when you want to ask in a formal way.
Most frequently when we try to learn a language, we commonly ask 'how to ask for a person's name?"
Here is how you ask for a person's name in Marwari
