understood wrongly or not at all
Past form of 'misunderstand': to understand something in the wrong way, or not understand it.
استعمال کا انداز:
[someone] misunderstood [something/someone]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse 'misunderstood' with 'not understand', saying *'I didn't misunderstood'* instead of either 'I misunderstood' (meaning they understood it in the wrong way) or 'I didn't understand' (meaning they had no understanding). Also, some learners incorrectly use 'misunderstanded' as the past form; the correct past form is 'misunderstood'.

not properly understood or appreciated
Not understood in the right way by other people, often so that they do not see your real ideas or feelings.
استعمال کا انداز:
[someone] feels misunderstood / [someone/something] is misunderstood
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes say *'I am misunderstanding'* when they mean that other people do not understand them; in this case they should say 'I am misunderstood' or 'People misunderstand me'. They may also confuse 'misunderstood' with 'shy' or 'lonely'; 'misunderstood' specifically means other people see you or your ideas in the wrong way.
ہم معنی الفاظ
unappreciated (Focuses more on not being valued enough, while 'misunderstood' emphasizes being seen or judged in the wrong way.)
متضاد الفاظ
understood (Suggests that others see you or your ideas clearly and correctly, the opposite of being 'misunderstood'.)
