Not caring about other people’s pain or feelings; very cruel.
نمط الاستخدام:
[someone/something] is heartless
غلطة شائعة:
Learners sometimes confuse "heartless" with "careless". "Heartless" means cruel and not caring about other people’s feelings, while "careless" means not being careful or paying enough attention. They also sometimes use "heartless" to mean "without energy" or "discouraged"; in that case, "disheartened" or "discouraged" is correct, not "heartless".
