How to Say "Gorgeous" in Urdu

خوبصورت

xūbsūrat/xuːb.suː.ɾət̪/

The English word "gorgeous" is translated into Urdu as خوبصورت (xūbsūrat).

خوبصورت is an adjective used to describe someone or something that is very beautiful.

Meaning: very beautiful (adj)

What does it mean word for word?

The word is a compound of خوب (xūb), meaning "good" or "fine" and صورت (sūrat), meaning "face" or "appearance".

The adjective خوبصورت is indeclinable, so it does not change its form to match the gender or number of the noun it describes.

The pronunciation is xūbsūrat (IPA: /xuːb.suː.ɾət̪/).

When describing a person as gorgeous, Urdu speakers might use the phrase ماشاءاللہ (mā shā Allāh) alongside خوبصورت to ward off the 'evil eye' or jealousy.
In Urdu poetry, beauty is often described using the metaphor of the 'moon' چاند (chānd), making phrases like 'moon-faced' a common way to say someone is gorgeous.
خوبصورت is a loanword from Classical Persian, reflecting the deep historical influence of Persian court culture on the Urdu language.
