Source: DDSA: The Molesworth Marathi and English Dictionarycākhaṇēṃ (चाखणें).—v c ( H) To try the flavor of, to taste. Used fig. as the English word. Pr. taḷēṃ rākhīla tō pāṇī cākhīla. Pr. cākhalēṃ nāhīṃ paṇa dēkhalēṃ tara asēla. cākhatamākhata jēvaṇēṃ To eat delicately, daintily, or with little appetite. cākhatamākhata bōlaṇēṃ To speak falteringly or pausingly. cākhūna rāndhaṇēṃ To cook after tasting. As the Hindu cook never tastes what he prepares, and thus lacks effective guidance in his operation, the phrase, with neg. con., comes to signify To be necessarily uncertain respecting the end or result of a doing. Pr. cukī viṣayīṃ kōṇhī cākhūna rāndhalēṃ nāhīṃ No one can be confident of not blundering or erring. (Errare est hominis &c.)
