unhappiness from not being satisfied
A feeling of not being happy with something because it is not as good as you wanted or expected.
Vzorec užití:
dissatisfaction with [something]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes say *"dissatisfaction of"* instead of *"dissatisfaction with"*. Use the preposition *with*: "dissatisfaction with the service". Another mistake is confusing *dissatisfaction* with *dislike*: *dissatisfaction* is about expectations not being met, while *dislike* is simply not liking something, even if it meets expectations.
