Did you know?
- In Urdu, the intensity of an insult can be changed not just by adding 'very', but by changing the pronoun from tum to the much more degrading tu.
- In poetic Urdu, surat is often contrasted with 'dil' (heart), implying that a beautiful 'surat' is worthless without a beautiful 'dil'.
- While بدصورت describes physical appearance, the word صورت is also used to describe a 'situation' or 'condition'. Therefore, a 'bad situation' and an 'ugly person' share the same root word for 'form'.
Examples in context
- تم بدصورت ہوtum badsurat hoYou're ugly.
- میں نے کہا کہ تم بدصورت ہو۔mein ne kaha ke tum badsurat ho.I said that you're ugly.
