Pro Tip

Context Matters

Use 'बिगड़ गया' for irreversible damage (e.g., 'मेरा मोबाइल बिगड़ गया' = 'My phone got ruined'). For reversible issues, use 'खराब हो गया' (e.g., 'मेरा मोबाइल खराब हो गया' = 'My phone is broken but might be fixable').

Gold Rule

Irreversible vs. Reversible

'बिगड़ गया' implies the damage is beyond repair, while 'खराब हो गया' suggests repairability. Example: 'मेरा कपड़ा बिगड़ गया' (ruined beyond repair) vs. 'मेरा कपड़ा खराब हो गया' (can be washed/cleaned).

Word Origin

Composed of 'बिगड़' (to deteriorate, from Sanskrit 'vikṛta' meaning 'distorted') and 'गया' (past participle of 'go', indicating completion). The phrase evolved in Hindi to describe irreversible damage or spoilage.

Usage Notes

Commonly used in everyday speech for both physical objects and abstract concepts like relationships or plans. Often implies a sudden or unexpected decline rather than gradual wear.
