At the A1 level, you should learn 'muṛā' as a simple word to describe objects that are not straight. Think of it like the word 'bent' or 'curved'. You can use it to talk about a bent spoon, a folded paper, or a road that turns. At this stage, just focus on the basic masculine form 'muṛā' and the feminine 'muṛī'. For example, if you see a road turning, you can say 'sarak muṛī hai'. If you see a bent stick, you can say 'lakṛī muṛī hai'. It's a very useful word for basic descriptions of physical things around you. You don't need to worry about complex grammar yet, just use it as a simple descriptive word like 'big' or 'small'.
At the A2 level, you start using 'muṛā' with the helper word 'huā'. Using 'muṛā huā' (masculine) or 'muṛī huī' (feminine) makes your Hindi sound more natural because it emphasizes that the object is in a 'bent state'. You can also start using it to give simple directions, like 'the road is bent there'. You should also learn the plural form 'muṛe'. For example, 'ye taar muṛe hue hain' (these wires are bent). At this level, you are moving beyond simple one-word descriptions to more complete sentences about the state of objects in your environment, like a crumpled shirt or a dented bicycle wheel.
At the B1 level, you should be comfortable using 'muṛā' in various contexts, including giving more detailed directions and describing damage or specific shapes. You should understand that 'muṛā' is the past participle of the verb 'muṛnā' (to turn/bend). This helps you see the connection between the action of turning and the state of being turned. You can use it to describe mountain roads ('muṛe-tuṛe rāste') or technical things like a bent pipe in a sink. You should also be able to use adverbs to describe the degree of the bend, such as 'thoṛā muṛā' (slightly bent) or 'bilkul muṛā' (completely bent). This level requires more precision in your descriptions.
At the B2 level, you can use 'muṛā' more figuratively and in more complex sentence structures. You might use it in a story to describe a character's posture or a specific architectural feature. You should also be aware of synonyms like 'teḍhā' or 'vakra' and know when 'muṛā' is the better choice. For instance, 'muṛā' is better for a folded page, while 'teḍhā' is better for a crooked line. You can use it in passive-like constructions, such as describing how something became bent ('ṭakkar se lohā muṛ gayā' - the iron got bent by the collision). Your vocabulary should now include related terms like 'moṛ' (a turn) and 'muṛāv' (curvature).
At the C1 level, you should have a nuanced understanding of 'muṛā' and its place in the Hindi lexicon. You can distinguish between its use in colloquial speech versus technical or literary contexts. You might encounter it in poetry to describe a 'bent' or 'turning' fate. You should be able to use it fluently in compound expressions and understand subtle differences in meaning when it's paired with other verbs or adjectives. You can discuss the aesthetics of 'muṛe hue' shapes in art or the structural implications of 'muṛā' metal in engineering. Your use of the word should be effortless, correctly applying gender and number agreement even in long, complex sentences.
At the C2 level, 'muṛā' is just one of many tools in your highly sophisticated vocabulary. You understand its etymological roots and can use it with absolute precision. You might use it to critique a piece of literature where a 'muṛā huā rāstā' is used as a metaphor for a complex life journey. You are also familiar with rare or highly regional variations of the word. You can effortlessly switch between 'muṛā', 'vakra', 'kutil', and other synonyms to achieve specific rhetorical effects. Your mastery includes knowing exactly when the word might carry a double meaning or how it interacts with specific dialects of Hindi. You can use it in any professional, academic, or creative context with total confidence.

मुड़ा in 30 Sekunden

  • Muṛā means bent, curved, or turned.
  • It is an adjective that changes for gender (muṛā/muṛī).
  • It often describes physical objects like paper, wire, or roads.
  • It is the past participle of the verb 'muṛnā' (to turn).

The Hindi word मुड़ा (muṛā) is a versatile adjective derived from the perfective participle of the verb मुड़ना (muṛnā), which means 'to turn' or 'to bend'. In its adjectival form, it describes the state of an object that is no longer straight, but has been curved, folded, or angled. This can apply to physical objects like a piece of wire, a sheet of paper, or a road. It is a fundamental word for describing physical geometry and state changes in everyday Hindi. When you see a page in a book that has been dog-eared, that corner is मुड़ा हुआ (muṛā huā). If a nail is hit incorrectly and bends, it is described as मुड़ा हुआ कील. The word captures both intentional bending (like a folded shirt) and unintentional damage (like a dented car fender).

Physical State
Refers to objects that have lost their original straight or flat form. For example, a bent spoon or a curved pipe.
Directional Orientation
Used to describe paths, roads, or tracks that deviate from a straight line. A 'muṛā huā rāstā' is a winding or curved path.
Paper and Textiles
Describes folds, creases, or wrinkles in clothes and paper. A 'muṛā huā kāgaz' is a crumpled or folded piece of paper.

मेज का कोना थोड़ा मुड़ा हुआ है। (The corner of the table is slightly bent.)

उसका हाथ कुहनी से मुड़ा था। (His arm was bent at the elbow.)

यह तार मुड़ा हुआ है, इसे सीधा करो। (This wire is bent; straighten it.)

The emotional or metaphorical use of 'muṛā' is less common than 'teḍhā' (crooked/dishonest), but it can sometimes describe a 'turned' mind or a 'bent' logic in literary contexts. However, its primary domain remains the physical world. In engineering or carpentry, 'muṛā' is a standard term to describe materials that are not true to their original linear form. In everyday conversation, you will hear it most often when discussing directions or the condition of household items. It is a neutral word, neither inherently positive nor negative, simply descriptive of a geometric state.

Using मुड़ा effectively requires understanding its inflection and its placement as an adjective. Since it functions as a perfective participle, it often appears with the auxiliary हुआ (huā) to emphasize the current state of the object. For example, 'muṛā huā' explicitly means 'in a bent state'.

Subject-Verb Agreement
If describing a masculine singular object like 'pahar' (mountain) or 'rasta' (path), use 'muṛā'. For feminine singular like 'ungli' (finger), use 'muṛī'. For plural like 'pappe' (papers), use 'muṛe'.
Combining with Adverbs
You can quantify the degree of bending using words like 'thoṛā' (a little), 'bahut' (very), or 'ekdam' (completely). Example: 'Rasta bahut muṛā huā hai' (The road is very curved).

क्या आपने वह मुड़ा हुआ सिक्का देखा? (Did you see that bent coin?)

उसकी साइकिल का पहिया मुड़ा हुआ है। (The wheel of his bicycle is bent.)

When describing complex shapes, 'muṛā' is often the first word that comes to mind for a Hindi speaker. If you are giving directions and want to describe a sharp turn, you might say 'āge ek muṛā huā moṛ hai' (there is a curved turn ahead). In the context of crafts or DIY, you might instruct someone: 'is taar ko aise muṛā rakho' (keep this wire bent like this). It is also useful in medical contexts to describe a 'bent' limb or a 'curved' spine (though 'teḍhā' or 'jhukā' might also be used depending on the specific condition).

You will encounter मुड़ा in a variety of real-world scenarios. It is ubiquitous in hardware stores, tailoring shops, and during travel. If you are in a shop buying stationery and the paper is damaged, you might complain, 'Yeh kāgaz muṛā huā hai, dūsrā dījiye' (This paper is bent/creased, give me another one). In a mechanical workshop, a mechanic might point to a 'muṛā huā bumper' (bent bumper) on a car.

Navigation and Travel
GPS instructions or local guides often use 'muṛā' to describe the geometry of the road. 'Pahāṛī rāste bahut muṛe-tuṛe hote hain' (Mountain roads are very twisted/curved).
Art and Craft
Teachers use it to describe origami or metalwork. 'Kāgaz ko muṛā huā chhoṛ do' (Leave the paper bent/folded).

स्टेशन के पास रास्ता थोड़ा मुड़ा हुआ है। (The road near the station is slightly curved.)

मेरी किताब का पन्ना मुड़ा हुआ था। (The page of my book was folded/bent.)

In literature and poetry, 'muṛā' might be used to describe a 'turned' path of life or a 'bent' destiny, though these are more figurative. In news reports, you might hear it during descriptions of accidents, such as 'gaṛī kā lohā burī tarah muṛ gayā' (the car's iron/metal was badly bent). It's also common in sports, like cricket, to describe a 'bent' arm during bowling, which can be a point of technical scrutiny. Overall, it is a practical, everyday word that you will hear whenever the physical shape of something is being discussed.

Learners of Hindi often make a few specific errors when using मुड़ा. The most frequent is failing to change the ending based on the gender of the noun. Because many English adjectives are static, remembering that 'muda' becomes 'mudi' for feminine nouns like 'sarak' (road) or 'chabi' (key) is a common hurdle.

Confusing Adjective with Verb
Don't confuse the state 'muṛā' (bent) with the action 'muṛnā' (to turn). If you say 'Main muṛā', it means 'I turned' (past tense verb), not 'I am bent' (adjective).
Overusing 'Teḍhā'
While 'teḍhā' also means crooked or bent, 'muṛā' specifically implies a fold or a turn. Using 'teḍhā' for a folded paper sounds slightly off; 'muṛā' is more accurate for a fold.

Incorrect: यह सड़क मुड़ा है। (Yeh sarak muṛā hai.)
Correct: यह सड़क मुड़ी है। (Yeh sarak muṛī hai.)

Another mistake is using 'muṛā' for things that are naturally curved, like a circle. 'Muṛā' usually implies that something which *could* be straight is now bent, or it describes a specific turn in a path. For a permanent, natural curve (like a crescent moon), words like 'vakra' or 'gol' are better. Also, be careful with the word 'moṛ' (a turn/noun). 'Muṛā' is the adjective describing the state; 'moṛ' is the physical turn itself. You wouldn't say 'yeh ek muṛā hai', you would say 'yeh rasta muṛā hai' or 'yahan ek moṛ hai'.

Hindi has several words for 'bent' or 'curved', and choosing the right one depends on the context and the degree of the curve. While मुड़ा is general-purpose, these alternatives offer more precision.

Teḍhā (टेढ़ा)
Meaning 'crooked' or 'skewed'. It often implies something is not straight in a messy or undesirable way. It can also mean 'difficult' or 'dishonest' metaphorically.
Jhukā (झुका)
Meaning 'tilted' or 'stooped'. Used for things leaning downward, like a branch or a person's posture.
Vakra (वक्र)
A formal, Sanskritized word for 'curved'. Used in geometry or formal literature (e.g., 'vakra rekha' for a curved line).
Lachakdār (लचकदार)
Meaning 'flexible' or 'springy'. Describes something that *can* bend easily without breaking.

Comparison:
1. Taar muṛā hai (The wire is bent - simple state).
2. Taar teḍhā hai (The wire is crooked - messy/misaligned).

In some contexts, you might use 'ghumāvdār' (winding/twisting) for roads instead of 'muṛā'. 'Ghumāvdār' specifically implies many turns, like a spiral or a serpentine mountain pass. For something folded neatly, 'tah kiyā huā' is more specific than 'muṛā'. Understanding these nuances will make your Hindi sound more natural and precise. For instance, you wouldn't call a winding river 'muṛī huī nadi' as often as 'ghumāvdār nadi'. However, if the river takes one sharp turn at a specific point, you could say 'nadi vahān se muṛī huī hai'.

The Dot

Never forget the dot under the 'da' in 'muṛā'. It changes the sound completely.

Bending vs Breaking

Use 'muṛā' for things that are intact but bent. Use 'ṭūṭā' for broken things.
