बोर (bor)

adjective An English loanword ('bore') used almost entirely as an adjective/predicate describing boredom or tedium, and in the common compound verb बोर होना (bor honaa, 'to get bored').
Sense 1 : bored / boring (predicate use)
adjective Used almost exclusively as a predicate complement -- बोर होना (bor honaa) 'to become/be bored', बोर करना (bor karnaa) 'to bore someone' -- rather than attributively before a noun.
Synonyms: उबाऊ (ubaaoo, describes things/situations rather than people), नीरस (niiras, literary)
Frequency: high
Cultural Note: This is everyday Hinglish -- you will hear मैं बोर हो गया (main bor ho gayaa, 'I got bored') constantly among younger, urban, English-educated speakers in Delhi-NCR, especially in casual or mixed-language conversation, while more formal or literary registers prefer उबाऊ (ubaaoo) or नीरस (niiras).
Common Mistakes: 1) बोर (bor) itself is invariant -- it never takes gender/number endings like a native adjective would; only the verb around it (होना honaa, करना karnaa) inflects. 2) Learners sometimes use यह किताब बोर है (yah kitaab bor hai, 'this book is boring') to describe the book itself, but it is more natural to say यह किताब उबाऊ है (yah kitaab ubaaoo hai) for objects and reserve बोर (bor) for how a person feels; still, बोर (bor) is widely used for both in casual speech.
