意思
To be sulky or angry.
文化背景
In many Gujarati families, 'moḍhuṃ caḍāvvūṃ' is a way for younger members to express dissent without being overtly disrespectful. It's a 'soft' form of rebellion. Classic literature often uses this idiom to describe the 'Man' (pride/sulk) of the heroine. It's a romanticized version of being upset. Appeasing someone who has 'raised their face' is considered a virtuous social skill. It shows you care about the other person's feelings. Gujarati parents often use the phrase to tease children out of a bad mood, saying 'Hve moḍhuṃ utār' (Now lower your face/stop pouting).
Watch the Nasalization
The 'uṃ' at the end of 'moḍhuṃ' is nasal. If you miss it, it sounds less native.
Don't use with Superiors
Calling a boss's reaction 'moḍhuṃ caḍāvvūṃ' is risky as it implies they are being childish.

Pair with 'Manāvvūṃ'
If you use 'moḍhuṃ caḍāvvūṃ', try to use 'manāvvūṃ' (to appease) in the next sentence to sound like a pro.
