文化的背景
The concept of a 'turn' (mod) is a major metaphor in Hindi literature and cinema, often representing a life-changing decision or a sudden shift in fate. In daily life, the chaotic yet rhythmic nature of Indian traffic makes 'modna' a vital verb for survival on the road. Regional variations in the mountains of Himachal or Uttarakhand use 'mod' to describe the dangerous hairpin bends that define Himalayan travel.
The 'U' Turn Secret
In India, a U-turn is simply called a 'U-mod'. If you want to tell a driver to go back, just say 'U-turn le lo' or 'Wapas mod lo'.
Don't Break It!
Be careful not to confuse `मोड़ना` (to bend) with `तोड़ना` (to break). They sound similar but one is helpful, the other is destructive!

What It Means
At its heart, मोड़ना is about changing the shape or direction of something. Think of it as the 'origami' verb. You use it when you fold your laundry or bend a wire. It also describes that moment you steer your bike around a corner. It is a very tactile, physical word that everyone uses daily.
How To Use It
You will mostly use the verb मोड़ना when you are the one doing the action. If you are folding a letter, you are मोड़ना-ing it. When you are driving and you see a मोड़ (a turn), you have to मोड़ना the car. It is a transitive verb, so it usually needs an object—something that is being bent or turned.
When To Use It
Use it when giving directions to a friend: 'Take a left at the next मोड़.' Use it at home when you're helping with chores: 'Can you help me मोड़ना these bedsheets?' It is also great for hobbies like paper crafts. If you are in a car, you will hear this word constantly from your GPS or driver.
When NOT To Use It
Don't use मोड़ना if something breaks or snaps. If you bend a stick and it goes 'crack,' that is तोड़ना (to break). Also, don't use it for 'twisting' your ankle; that is usually मोंच आना. It is for intentional bending or following a curved path, not for accidental injuries or destruction.
Cultural Background
In India, the word मोड़ (turn) is deeply poetic. You will hear it in Bollywood songs about the 'turns of life' (ज़िंदगी के मोड़). Indian roads are also famous for their sharp, unpredictable turns, especially in the mountains. Navigating a मोड़ is seen as a skill. Folding clothes perfectly is also a point of pride in many traditional households.
Common Variations
You might hear मुड़ना, which is the version used when something turns on its own (like the road turning). मोड़ is the noun for the corner itself. In slang, someone might say 'don't bend the truth,' though in Hindi, we usually say 'don't rotate the talk' (बात मत घुमाओ).
使い方のコツ
The phrase is highly versatile and neutral. Use the transitive `मोड़ना` when you are the agent of change, and the intransitive `मुड़ना` when describing a path or a natural curve.
