शादीशुदा (shaadiishudaa)

adjective A single-sense adjective meaning 'married'; a Persian-influenced everyday word built from शादी (shaadii, 'wedding/marriage') plus the suffix -शुदा (shudaa, a Persian past-participle marker meaning 'having become/done').
Sense 1 : married
adjective
Synonyms: विवाहित (vivaahit, formal)
Frequency: high
Cultural Note: This is the word you will actually hear at a chai stall or in a family conversation -- विवाहित (vivaahit) shows up on government forms and marriage certificates, but शादीशुदा (shaadiishudaa) is what people say out loud. It is also common in slightly judgmental or gossipy contexts, as in शादीशुदा होकर भी... (shaadiishudaa hokar bhii, 'even though he's married...').
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners sometimes try to use it as a verb ('he married') -- it is only ever descriptive, paired with होना (honaa) or as a modifier before a noun, e.g. शादीशुदा आदमी (shaadiishudaa aadmii, 'a married man'). 2) Because it ends in -आ, learners expect it to inflect like a regular adjective (शादीशुदी, शादीशुदे) -- it does not change form for gender or number.
