How to Say "You're Stupid" in Urdu

تم بیوقوف ہو

tum bewakoof ho

The English phrase "you're stupid" is translated into Urdu as تم بیوقوف ہو (tum bewakoof ho).

This phrase is a direct statement used to tell someone that they lack intelligence or common sense.

What does it mean word for word?

The word بیوقوف is a single adjective meaning foolish or stupid.

You can also use آپ بیوقوف ہیں to make the insult more formal. Even with the more polite pronouns, the phrase remains an insult.

In the phrase تم بیوقوف ہو, the word ہو is the second-person singular conjugation of the verb "to be" used specifically with the pronoun تم.

tum bewakoof ho

The term بیوقوف is frequently paired with the phrase سیدھا (seedha), which means 'straight'. In certain contexts, calling someone 'too straight' is a polite euphemism for saying they are stupid or naive.
The word بیوقوف is actually a hybrid of Persian and Arabic origins, combining the Persian prefix بی meaning 'without' with the Arabic root for 'standing still' or 'knowledge'.
While the phrase is an insult, using the formal آپ in آپ بیوقوف ہیں creates a jarring social dissonance, as it uses high-respect grammar to deliver a low-respect message.

تم بیوقوف ہو
tum bewaqoof ho
You're stupid.
ایسی بات کرنا ثابت کرتا ہے کہ تم بیوقوف ہو
aisi baat karna saabit karta hai ke tum bewaqoof ho
Saying such a thing proves you're stupid.
