Ways to say it

The term is used to describe an attractive man, but it also serves as a general term for anything that is beautiful or handsome.

While সুন্দর is a neutral, general term that can be applied to both people and objects, other forms exist to describe attractiveness.

The adjective সুন্দর is invariant in gender, meaning it does not change its form whether you are describing a man or a woman.

The romanization is śundor. The IPA is /ʃund̪ɔɾ/.

The word সুন্দর is closely related to the word for 'monkey', বাঁদর, because they both share a historical pattern of adding a middle consonant to a root.
