## 🚩 परिचय (Introduction)

`marathi-shabda` ही मराठी शब्दांचे व्याकरणिक विश्लेषण करण्यासाठी बनवलेली एक प्रोफेशनल **Python Library** आहे.

हे प्रामुख्याने खालील गोष्टी करते:
1. **मूळ शब्द शोधणे (Lemma Extraction)**: `पाण्यावर` → `पाणी`
2. **शब्दकोश (Dictionary Lookup)**: मराठी शब्दांचे इंग्रजी अर्थ
3. **रूप परिचय (Morphology)**: शब्दाची जात (POS), विभक्ती आणि काळ ओळखणे.

हे पूर्णपणे **ऑफलाइन** चालते. याला इंटरनेटची गरज नाही.

## Installation

```bash
pip install marathi-shabda
```

**Requirements**: Python 3.8+, no external dependencies.

---

## Quick Start

### 1. Lemma Extraction

```python
from marathi_shabda import get_lemma

result = get_lemma("पाण्यावर")
print(result.lemma)              # पाणी
print(result.confidence)         # 0.9
print(result.detected_vibhakti)  # VibhaktiType.SAPTAMI (सप्तमी)
```

### 2. Dictionary Lookup

```python
from marathi_shabda import lookup_word

result = lookup_word("पाणी")
print(result.english_meanings)   # ['water']
print(result.found)              # True
```

---

## Technical Details

### Architecture
- **Dictionary-backed**: Uses a built-in SQLite database for authoritative meanings.
- **Rule-based**: Uses linguistic rules for vibhakti and form handling.
- **Explanation**: Every result comes with a reason for why it was derived.

### Limitations (v0.1.2)
- **Single words only**: Does not parse full sentences.
- **Conservative**: Prefers to say "Unknown" rather than guessing wrong.
- **Transliteration**: Roman script support is approximate.
