اسم B1 entity
1

minor trouble or difficulty

A small problem or extra effort that makes life harder or less comfortable for someone.

الگوی کاربرد: [something] is an inconvenience to [someone]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes say *"I am inconvenience"* or *"It is very inconvenience"* when they should say *"I am inconvenienced"* (verb, passive) or *"It is very inconvenient"* (adjective). Another common mistake is using *inconvenience* only as uncountable, e.g. *"It is inconvenience"* instead of *"It is an inconvenience"* when talking about one specific problem.
