To turn, to bend.

mudna رتبه 2,000

At the A1 level, 'muṛnā' is introduced as a basic movement verb. Students learn it primarily in the context of giving and receiving simple directions. Phrases like 'bāyeñ muṛo' (turn left) and 'dāyeñ muṛo' (turn right) are essential. The focus is on the imperative form and the present simple tense. Learners are taught to recognize the word in a sentence about a person or a vehicle changing direction. The concept of bending objects is usually secondary at this stage, as the priority is functional communication for navigation. Examples are kept simple, often involving a single subject and a direction.

At the A2 level, learners begin to use 'muṛnā' in the past tense ('muṛā', 'muṛī') and future tense ('muṛegā'). They start to understand that it is an intransitive verb and does not require the 'ne' particle, which is a significant grammatical milestone. The usage expands to include physical objects bending, such as 'taar muṛ gayā' (the wire bent). Compound verbs like 'muṛ jānā' are introduced to show completed actions. Learners also start to see the verb in slightly more complex sentences involving reasons or conditions, such as 'raasta band thā, isliye hum muṛ gaye' (the road was closed, so we turned).

By B1, students are expected to use 'muṛnā' fluently in various tenses and moods. They can distinguish clearly between 'muṛnā' (intransitive) and 'moṛnā' (transitive). They begin to encounter the verb in more descriptive contexts, such as in literature or news reports. Metaphorical uses might start to appear, like 'zindagi kā muṛnā' (life taking a turn). The use of 'muṛkar dekhnā' (to turn and look) becomes a common part of their narrative vocabulary. They also learn to use it with adverbs to describe how something turns—'tezi se muṛnā' (to turn quickly) or 'dhīre se muṛnā' (to turn slowly).

At the B2 level, 'muṛnā' is used with nuance. Learners understand its use in passive-like constructions and can use it to describe complex physical phenomena. They are comfortable with idiomatic expressions and can use the verb in conditional and hypothetical sentences. For example, 'Agar tum us waqt muṛ jaate, toh durghatna nahi hoti' (If you had turned at that time, the accident wouldn't have happened). They also recognize the difference between 'muṛnā' and more specific verbs like 'bal khānā' (to meander) or 'palaṭnā' (to flip), choosing the most appropriate one for the context.

At the C1 level, the learner uses 'muṛnā' in sophisticated ways, often in academic, professional, or literary settings. They can discuss the 'muṛnā' of a plot in a complex novel or the 'muṛnā' of a political ideology. They understand the subtle connotations the verb carries in different registers. They can use it in complex grammatical structures, including various participial forms. Their vocabulary includes synonyms that offer even more precision, and they can explain the subtle differences between them. The verb becomes a tool for expressive and precise communication.

At the C2 level, 'muṛnā' is used with the mastery of a native speaker. The learner can appreciate and use the verb in archaic or highly poetic contexts. They understand all possible metaphorical extensions and can use the verb to convey deep philosophical meanings. They are aware of regional variations in its usage and can identify its use in various dialects of Hindi. At this stage, the verb is not just a word but a versatile element of the language that can be manipulated for any rhetorical purpose, from technical descriptions to high literature.

मुड़ना در ۳۰ ثانیه

Muṛnā means to turn or bend.
It is an intransitive verb (no direct object).
Used for directions (left/right) and physical shapes.
Commonly confused with 'moṛnā' (to bend something).

The Hindi verb मुड़ना (muṛnā) is a versatile term primarily used to describe the action of turning, bending, or curving. It is an intransitive verb, meaning the subject itself undergoes the action without necessarily acting upon an object. In its most literal sense, it refers to a change in direction while moving, such as a person walking down a street or a car navigating a corner. However, its utility extends far beyond mere navigation. It also describes the physical deformation of an object, like a piece of wire bending or the pages of a book curling at the edges. Understanding 'muṛnā' requires a grasp of both physical movement and structural change.

Physical Direction: This refers to the act of changing one's course. For example, 'rasta aage se muṛta hai' (the road turns ahead). It implies a natural curve or a deliberate change in path.

वह कोने से दाईं ओर मुड़ना चाहता था। (He wanted to turn right from the corner.)

Structural Bending: When an object loses its straightness or original shape due to pressure or quality. 'Lohe ki chhad muṛ gayi' (The iron rod bent).

In a metaphorical sense, 'muṛnā' can signify a turning point in life or a shift in one's perspective. When we say 'zindagi ne naya mod liya', we are using the noun form 'mod' derived from this verb. The verb itself can describe a story taking a turn or a conversation shifting direction. It captures the essence of fluidity and change, whether that change is forced by external circumstances or is a natural progression of a path. For a learner, mastering 'muṛnā' involves recognizing when the subject is the one changing shape or direction versus when an external force is doing the bending.

किताब के पन्ने नमी से मुड़ गए हैं। (The pages of the book have curled/bent due to moisture.)

Abstract Transitions: Used to describe shifts in narrative, thought, or life phases. It suggests a departure from the previous straight line of events.

हवा के झोंके से पेड़ की टहनियाँ मुड़ने लगीं। (The branches of the tree started to bend with the gust of wind.)

क्या तुम यहाँ से पीछे मुड़ सकते हो? (Can you turn back from here?)

Using मुड़ना (muṛnā) correctly involves understanding its conjugation and its role as an intransitive verb. Since it doesn't take a direct object, the focus is always on the subject that is turning or bending. In the present tense, it follows standard patterns: 'main muṛtā hūñ' (I turn), 'voh muṛtī hai' (she turns). In the past tense, it becomes 'muṛā' (masculine singular), 'muṛī' (feminine singular), or 'muṛe' (plural). Because it is intransitive, it does not use the 'ne' particle in the past tense, which is a common point of confusion for learners.

Navigation and Directions: When giving or following directions, use 'muṛnā' with postpositions like 'ko' or 'par'. Example: 'Agle chaurāhe par bāyeñ muṛiye' (Turn left at the next intersection).

गाड़ी धीरे से मुड़ी। (The car turned slowly.)

Describing Physical States: It is often used to describe damage or the flexible nature of materials. 'Yeh taar aasāni se muṛ jātā hai' (This wire bends easily).

In imperative forms, 'muṛo' (informal) or 'muṛiye' (formal) are used to tell someone to turn. When combined with 'vapas' (back), 'vapas muṛnā' means to turn back or return. It's also important to note the difference between 'muṛnā' and 'ghūmnā'. While 'ghūmnā' can mean to spin or to roam, 'muṛnā' specifically denotes a change in the angle or direction of the path. If you are describing a road that winds, you might say 'sadak baar-baar muṛtī hai'. In the context of body movements, like in yoga, you might hear 'apnī kamar se muṛiye' (bend from your waist), though 'jhuknā' (to lean/bend down) is also common there.

क्या यह कागज़ मुड़ सकता है? (Can this paper bend?)

Grammar Note: No 'Ne': Remember: 'Voh muṛā' (He turned), NOT 'Usne muṛā'. Intransitive verbs never take 'ne'.

रास्ता अचानक बाईं तरफ मुड़ गया। (The path suddenly turned left.)

You will encounter मुड़ना (muṛnā) in a variety of daily scenarios, from the mundane to the dramatic. One of the most common places is in transit. If you are using a GPS in Hindi or taking a rickshaw, the instructions will constantly involve this verb. 'Aage se dāyeñ muṛnā' (Turn right ahead) is a staple phrase. In the bustling streets of India, drivers often shout to each other about where they are turning or where the road leads. It's an essential word for survival in any Hindi-speaking city.

In the Kitchen and Workshop: When working with materials, a craftsman might say 'Yeh loha garam hone par muṛtā hai' (This iron bends when hot). In the kitchen, you might hear it regarding the edges of a paratha or a spoon that has accidentally bent.

सावधान! यहाँ से रास्ता बहुत तीखा मुड़ता है। (Careful! The road turns very sharply here.)

In literature and storytelling, 'muṛnā' is used to describe the physical movement of characters as they react to their environment. A character might 'muṛkar dekhnā' (turn and look) to see who is following them. It adds a layer of physical action to the narrative. In news reports, you might hear it in the context of a parade or a political rally changing its route. Even in sports, like cricket or football, commentators might describe the ball 'muṛnā' (spinning or curving) in the air, although 'swing' or 'spin' are also used as loanwords.

उसने मुड़कर मेरी तरफ देखा और मुस्कुराया। (He turned back, looked at me, and smiled.)

Daily Chores: When folding clothes or fixing a bent hanger, you might use 'muṛnā' to describe the state of the object. 'Hanger muṛ gaya hai' (The hanger is bent).

नदी पहाड़ों के बीच से मुड़ती हुई बहती है। (The river flows, turning through the mountains.)

The most frequent mistake learners make with मुड़ना (muṛnā) is confusing it with its transitive counterpart, मोड़ना (moṛnā). Remember: 'muṛnā' is something that happens *to* the subject (the subject turns or bends), while 'moṛnā' is an action the subject performs *on* something else (the subject bends the wire). If you say 'Maine rasta muṛā', it sounds like you physically bent the road, which is impossible! The correct way to say 'I turned the car' is 'Maine gaadi moṛī', but 'The car turned' is 'Gaadi muṛī'.

The 'Ne' Particle Error: As an intransitive verb, 'muṛnā' never takes 'ne' in the past tense. Say 'Voh muṛā', not 'Usne muṛā'. This is a hallmark of an intermediate learner's progress.

Incorrect: उसने दाईं तरफ मुड़ा।
Correct: वह दाईं तरफ मुड़ा।

Another mistake is using the wrong postposition for direction. In English, we say 'turn to the left'. In Hindi, you can say 'bāyeñ muṛnā' or 'bāyeñ taraf muṛnā'. Using 'ko' (bāyeñ ko muṛnā) is also acceptable, but 'mein' (in) is incorrect. Additionally, learners sometimes use 'muṛnā' when they mean 'palaṭnā' (to flip or turn over). If a pancake needs to be flipped, you use 'palaṭnā'. If you are turning a corner, you use 'muṛnā'. Lastly, ensure you use the correct gender agreement in the past tense. Since 'muṛnā' is intransitive, it agrees with the subject: 'Ladki muṛī' (The girl turned), 'Ladka muṛā' (The boy turned).

Incorrect: मैं रास्ता मुड़ गया।
Correct: मैं रास्ते पर मुड़ गया।

Bending vs. Folding: While 'muṛnā' covers bending, 'tah karnā' is specifically for folding clothes or paper neatly. 'Muṛnā' often implies an unintentional or structural bend.

To truly master मुड़ना (muṛnā), it helps to compare it with related verbs that describe movement and shape. Hindi has a rich vocabulary for these actions, and choosing the right one depends on the nuance you wish to convey. The most direct comparison is with 'moṛnā', 'ghūmnā', and 'palaṭnā'. Each has a specific context where it is preferred over 'muṛnā'.

मुड़ना (Muṛnā) vs. मोड़ना (Moṛnā): Muṛnā is intransitive (the subject turns). Moṛnā is transitive (the subject turns something else).
Example: 'Taar muṛā' (The wire bent) vs. 'Usne taar moṛā' (He bent the wire).

मुड़ना (Muṛnā) vs. घूमना (Ghūmnā): Muṛnā is a change in direction or angle. Ghūmnā is to spin around, rotate, or roam around a place.
Example: 'Gaadi bāyeñ muṛī' (The car turned left) vs. 'Pankha ghūm rahā hai' (The fan is spinning).

वह अपनी जगह पर घूमा (He spun in his place) vs वह गली में मुड़ा (He turned into the lane).

मुड़ना (Muṛnā) vs. पलटना (Palaṭnā): Palaṭnā means to flip over, turn upside down, or turn back completely. Muṛnā is usually just a change in angle.
Example: 'Pannā palaṭnā' (To turn/flip the page) vs. 'Pannā muṛnā' (The page got bent/dog-eared).

Other related words include 'lapaṭnā' (to wrap around) and 'bal khānā' (to twist/meander). When describing a river, 'bal khātī huī nadī' sounds more poetic than 'muṛtī huī nadī', though both are correct. In technical contexts, 'vakra' (curve) might be used as a noun. Understanding these distinctions helps in achieving a more native-like fluency in Hindi, allowing you to describe physical actions with precision and flair.
