strong public anger or outcry
Strong public anger or protest about something that has happened.
Vzorec užití:
an uproar over [something]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes use *uproar* as a verb (e.g., *People uproared at the news*). In modern English, *uproar* is almost always a noun. Use verbs like *cause*, *spark*, or *create* with it: *The news caused an uproar*. Learners may also confuse *uproar* with *roar*; *roar* is usually the loud sound itself, while *uproar* is the whole angry reaction or situation.
Synonyma
outcry (Often slightly more formal and commonly used in news reports about strong public protest.)
|
backlash (Emphasizes a strong negative reaction that comes after a decision or event, not necessarily noisy.)
Antonyma
acceptance (Describes a calm willingness to accept something instead of reacting with anger or protest.)
|
approval (Focuses on a positive reaction, the opposite of angry or protesting reaction.)

Synonyma
commotion (Stresses both noise and busy movement; can be less intense than *uproar*.)
