annoying, irritating, or exasperating
Making you feel annoyed or fed up, often because it happens again and again or needs too much effort or attention.
用法パターン：
to find [something/someone] tiresome
よくある間違い：
Learners often use "tiring" instead of "tiresome" when they mean emotionally or mentally annoying. "Tiring" usually means something makes you physically tired, while "tiresome" means it is annoying, frustrating, or emotionally draining. For example, say "His behavior is tiresome" (annoying), not "His behavior is tiring" unless you mean it makes you physically exhausted.

boring, tedious, or wearisome
Making you feel bored and tired in your mind because it is slow, long, or always the same.
用法パターン：
[something] becomes tiresome
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes say "I am tiresome" when they mean they feel tired or bored. "I am tiresome" actually means other people find you boring or annoying. To talk about your own feeling, say "I am tired" or "I am bored." Also, "tiresome" usually describes things or activities, not your own temporary state.
類義語
tedious (Very close in meaning; often slightly more formal and common in written English.)
|
boring (More general and informal; does not always suggest the same sense of mental weariness.)
対義語
interesting (Describes something that holds your attention, unlike a tiresome activity.)
|
engaging (Suggests something actively holds your interest, the opposite of being dull and tiresome.)
