तुम बदसूरत हो
tum badsūrat hoblunt, rude
In Hindi "you're ugly" is तुम बदसूरत हो (tum badsūrat ho). It is a harsh insult. It is also called आप अच्छे नहीं दिखते (āp acche nahīṁ dikhte).
Meaning: saying someone is unattractive (phrase)
Ways to say it
| Indian | Romanization | Note |
|---|---|---|
| तुम बदसूरत हो | tum badsūrat ho | blunt, rude |
| आप अच्छे नहीं दिखते | āp acche nahīṁ dikhte | softer |
It is better avoided. If you must describe the look of something, a milder way is यह अच्छा नहीं दिखता (yah acchā nahīṁ dikhtā), meaning "this doesn't look good".
Which one should you use?
