annoyed or slightly angry
Feeling a little angry or bothered by someone or something.
Vzorec užití:
[someone] is/gets/becomes irritated (with/by/about [something])
Častá chyba:
Learners often confuse "irritated" (how you feel) with "irritating" (what causes the feeling). For example, say "I am irritated" (NOT *I am irritating*) and "The noise is irritating" (NOT *The noise is irritated*). Another common mistake is using the wrong preposition: use "irritated with/at [someone]" and "irritated by/about [something]".
Synonyma
annoyed (Very close in meaning; the most common everyday synonym.)

|

Antonyma
calm (Describes someone not emotionally disturbed or upset.)
|
unbothered (Emphasizes that something does not cause any irritation or concern.)
