Please understand this:
The word "Beautiful" is an adjective in Sanskrit.
If it is addressed to a male, then its correct form is सुंदरः
If it is addressed to a female, then its correct form is सुंदरी
If it is addressed to a neuter gender object(neither male nor female),
then its correct form is सुंदरं which has been in the sentence above.

Do you really mean to say "You are beautiful" to a neuter gender object(neither male nor female) ???!!!
