Bedeutung
Praising the appearance of something or someone.
Kultureller Hintergrund
When complimenting a child or a person's beauty, always add 'MashAllah' to protect them from the 'evil eye' (Nazar). In the refined 'Tehzeeb' (etiquette) of Lucknow, one might use 'SubhanAllah' instead of 'Bohat Khoobsurat' to express a more spiritual appreciation of beauty. On Instagram, Urdu speakers often use the English transliteration 'Bohat Khoobsurat' or 'MashAllah' even when writing in English script. Beauty is often compared to the moon (Chand). Calling someone 'Chand jaisa khoobsurat' (Beautiful like the moon) is a classic romantic trope.
The MashAllah Rule
Always add 'MashAllah' when complimenting people to show respect for local beliefs about the evil eye.
Invariant Adjective
Don't worry about gender! 'Khoobsurat' stays the same for everything.
