Common mistakes

Not natural: I mundane my household chores every Sunday.

Better: I do mundane household chores every Sunday.

Mundane is an adjective, not a verb; use it to describe the chores.

Mundane विशेषण है, verb नहीं। इसका इस्तेमाल chores का वर्णन करने के लिए करें।

Not natural: These mundane are taking too long.

Better: These mundane tasks are taking too long.

Mundane describes a noun, so it needs a noun such as tasks after it.

Mundane किसी चीज़ का वर्णन करता है, इसलिए इसके बाद tasks जैसा noun होना चाहिए।
