How do you say crooked?

"Crooked" is already a perfectly good English word, so you don't need to say it any differently!

However, depending on the context, you could use synonyms like:

Formal:

* Askew: This implies a slight bend or tilt.

* Bent: This suggests a more pronounced curve or angle.

* Deformed: This is used for something significantly misshapen.

Informal:

* Bent out of shape: This is a humorous way to say something is crooked.

* Wonky: This is a British term for something unsteady or crooked.

* Skewed: This emphasizes the unevenness or slant.

* Off-kilter: This implies something is not balanced or aligned correctly.

The best choice depends on the specific situation and the tone you want to convey.
