तुम बदसूरत हो
tum badsoorat ho/t̪ʊm bəd̪.suː.ɾət̪ ɦoː/word by word
In Hindi, "you're ugly" is expressed as तुम बदसूरत हो (tum badsoorat ho).
This phrase is used to tell someone that they are not physically attractive. While the word बदसूरत specifically describes physical appearance, it is important not to confuse it with the word bura, which refers to someone's character or an abstract quality being bad.
How does it change in a sentence?
The phrase changes based on the pronoun and verb agreement. Using the pronoun tu instead of tum makes the expression more aggressive. For formal or polite situations, use the pronoun aap and the verb ending hain.
How do you pronounce it?
The romanization is tum badsoorat ho. The IPA is /t̪ʊm bəd̪.suː.ɾət̪ ɦoː/ and it has 3 syllables.
Did you know?
- The word बदसूरत is borrowed from Classical Persian, where bad means 'bad' and sūrat means 'face' or 'form'.
- In traditional Indian cinema, characters often use overly poetic Urdu-influenced terms for beauty, making a blunt phrase like तुम बदसूरत हो sound jarringly modern and harsh.
- To avoid the directness of calling someone ugly, a speaker might use the much longer phrase दिखने में अच्छे नहीं हो, which translates to 'you are not good in appearing'.
