કદરૂપું

Did you know?
- In Gujarati culture, describing a small child as કદરૂપું is sometimes done intentionally to ward off the 'evil eye' and protect the child from jealousy.
- Because Gujarati uses grammatical gender, using the neuter form કદરૂપું to describe a person can actually sound quite dehumanizing or imply you are treating them like an inanimate object.
- The word કદરૂપું is derived from કદ meaning 'size' or 'stature' and રૂપ meaning 'form' or 'beauty'.

- તેનું જૂનું ઘર કદરૂપું લાગે છે.tēnuṃ jūnūṃ ghara kadarūpū lāgē chē.His old house looks ugly.
- આ કદરૂપું ચિત્ર મને ગમતું નથી.ā kadarūpū citra manē gamatū nathī.I do not like this ugly painting.
