20 hrs confidence: 
1 day6 hrs confidence: ugly
Explanation:
Meaning of the 'okhaddo' is 'uneatable' but using of this word may vary, then it's mean may be 'ugly'.
Example : ' Tomay okhadoo lagche' which means ' you are looking very bad or ugly'.
'Modda' means 'main' or 'Actually'
'lagche' means 'looking'
If we construct a sentence with this three words, ' Modda katha tomay okhaddo lagche' which means 'Actually you are looking very bad'

9 days confidence: peer agreement (net): +1 bland, tasteless, insipid, dull, lackluster
Explanation:
okhaddo অখাদ্য =>bland, tasteless, insipid, dull, lackluster
The Bengali word অখাদ্য is NOT the opposite of ভোজ্য, and therefore, the word ‘inedible’ or other words of similar meaning are rather inappropriate. ‘Inedible’ or ‘uneatable’ only expresses the physical quality of something as not worthy of being taken as food.
In Bengali, we often use অখাদ্য to mean something edible but tasteless, bland or dull. People may also use the term to refer to something dull or lacking charm etc.
modda => if the Bengali spelling is মদ্দা, it refers to ‘a male, a manly person’ etc.
If the Bengali is মোদ্দা, then it means ‘main, chief, on the whole, in short, in summary’ etc.
Example: মোদ্দা কথা হল এই যে... > The main thing is that...
lagchho লাগছ/লাগছো is the second person present progressive form of the verb ‘লাগা’.
lagchho লাগছ/লাগছো => you appear (to be), it seems that you are... etc.
Example: এই জামাটায় তুমি অদ্ভুত লাগছ or তোমাকে অদ্ভুত লাগছে > you appear to be strange in this dress.
There are several shades of meaning for the Bengali verb ‘লাগা’ > to stick to, to begin/to start, to join something, to come in contact, to have a feeling, to appear to be etc. and many more.
Example: তুমি কবে থেকে কাজে লাগছ? > When are you going to join the work?
I hope the answers would satisfy the asker’s quest. Best wishes.
