चूतड़ (chootad)
noun
A blunt, everyday body-part word for the buttocks -- fine at home or among close friends, but not polite company vocabulary.
Sense
1
:
buttocks
noun, masculine
Synonyms: पिछवाड़ा (pichhvaadaa, colloquial), नितंब (nitamb, formal/anatomical)
Frequency: medium
Cultural Note: You'll hear this most often in scolding a child -- 'चूतड़ों पर मार पड़ेगी' (chootdon par maar padegii, 'you'll get a smack on the backside') -- or in earthy, humorous complaints about sitting too long. It's the kind of word a mother uses freely at home but would raise an eyebrow if used in front of guests.
Common Mistakes: 1) This word is casual/blunt, not vulgar-slang and not clinical -- it sits between पिछवाड़ा (pichhvaadaa) (folksy) and नितंब (nitamb) (formal/medical). Choose based on who you're talking to: with family or close friends it's completely normal, but in front of elders, teachers, or in formal writing, reach for नितंब (nitamb) instead. 2) It's commonly used in the plural form चूतड़ों (chootdon) even when referring to a single person's backside, since the body part is thought of as two-sided.
