Gujarati term or phrase: mare/hu
as far as i am aware these both mean I but when you you use them?
Goldenstat
Hun = I. Mare, Maru, Mara, Mari = I, My, Mine
Explanation:
Gujarati "Hu" (હુ) is actually written as "Hun" (હું) which only means as English "I".

The varients of Gujarati "Mare" (મારે) follows "Mara" (મારા), "Mari" (મારી), "Marun" (મારું), "Maro" (મારો), (they all resemble English "I", as well as "MY", and "MINE"), which are all the singular forms of 6th inflection or variation of pronoun "I" (હું).

Additional "n" represents "DOT" on top of "Hun" (હું) and "Marun" (મારું)

1) Mare Paranvun Chhe = I want to marry.
2) Mare Koi Bahen Nathi = I have no sister.
3) Mara Papa Samaj Sevak Chhe = My father is a social worker.
4) Mari Patni Shikshak Chhe = My wife is a teacher.
5) Te Bike Mari Chhe = That bike is mine.
6) Marun Naam Vimal Chhe = My name is Vimal.
7) Maro Bhai Hisabnish Chhe = My brother is an accountant.

However, pl. be careful with dual meanings here:
-> Te Mane Mare Chhe = He beats me
-> Tene Maro = Beat him

Pl. feel free to ask for any clarifications

As you would see in my aforesaid examples, "MARE" means "I" only as I've already spelled out. However, I thought of drawing resembling varients to "MARE" which I'm sure would make more sense while getting acquainted with discussed Gujarati wordings.

'mare' basically means I and used as i want or i have. hu means i (singular)


Explanation:
if the word 'mare hu' is used together then it means i dont care.
or i am not bothered. it literally means what is it to me? Herein hu is a dielect used instead of shu (shu is a literal and a polished word).
'hu' as vimal suggested is termed as hun meaning 'I'.
'hun kaam karu chhun' meaning i am doing work.
'hu bahar jayish 'meaning i will be going out.
mare paisa joye chhee meanining I want money.
mare javu chhe= i want to go
mare sounds like ma as in master and re as ra in rain.
hu if used as a shu then it sounds like hoo in hoover and not hu in human.
hun if used as i sounds like hoon
hun
