Learners sometimes use "turmoil" for very mild feelings like simple stress or being a little worried. In this sense, "turmoil" is quite strong and suggests deep emotional or mental disturbance. Also, avoid using it as a verb (✗ "It turmoiled me"); use phrases like "It caused me turmoil" or "I was in turmoil."

متضادها
