Gujarati to English translations [Non-PRO]
Food & Dairy / sense of taste
Gujarati term or phrase: Marou
Gujarari word meaning food unspicy or untasty. Not sure of the spelling of the Gujarati word Marou. Don't know what this is called in English. Is it called unspicy or untasty ?
Pritesh
In context given, it means 'Bland' without salt /without spices; without salt
Explanation:
From the information given, the Gujarati word seems to be 'molu' not 'marou'.
Depending on the context 'molu' can mean any one or more of these in various combinations
1. Saltless
2. Non - spicy
3. Bland/Tasteless
4. without salt but with other spices in small quantities
5. Not spicy enough

Please note: 'marou' in Gujarati has two totally different meanings -
1) 'mine' in the neuter gender - as in 'it belongs to me'
2) 'I hit' 'as in I will hit you'

Sometimes 'molu' is pronounced as 'moru' hence perhaps your spelling of 'marou'.
