cruel and showing no sympathy
Not caring about other people’s pain or feelings; very cruel.
Corak penggunaan:
[someone/something] is heartless
Kesilapan biasa:
Learners sometimes confuse "heartless" with "careless". "Heartless" means cruel and not caring about other people’s feelings, while "careless" means not being careful or paying enough attention. They also sometimes use "heartless" to mean "without energy" or "discouraged"; in that case, "disheartened" or "discouraged" is correct, not "heartless".
Sinonim
cruel (General word for causing pain or suffering, sometimes without the strong emotional coldness that "heartless" suggests.)
|
callous (Suggests being emotionally hardened or numb, often over a long time, not easily moved by others’ pain.)
|
unfeeling (Emphasizes the lack of emotional response more than active meanness.)
Antonim
kind (Shows care and concern for others, the opposite of the cold attitude in "heartless".)
|
compassionate (Emphasizes actively feeling and showing concern for another’s suffering, which a heartless person does not do.)
