Full of problems, change, or conflict, and not calm or stable.
Vzorec užití:
a tumultuous [period/event/relationship/life]

Synonyma
turbulent (Often used for periods, relationships, or situations with strong conflict or constant change; very close in meaning and register.)

Vzorec užití:
tumultuous [applause/cheers/reception/welcome]

Synonyma
uproarious (Emphasizes very loud noise and laughter; *tumultuous* can sound a bit more formal and can carry more sense of emotional intensity or disorder.)
Antonyma

Vzorec užití:

Learners may overuse this sense for any strong movement. It is most natural for dramatic, often dangerous natural forces (like seas or storms), not for everyday things like traffic or people walking.
Synonyma
turbulent (Common in both everyday and technical descriptions of air or water in violent motion; *tumultuous* is slightly more literary and emotional.)
Antonyma
calm (Describes seas, weather, or movement that is still or gentle, opposite to tumultuous in this sense.)
