resentful feeling about unfair treatment
A strong, unhappy feeling because you think you were treated in an unfair way.
பயன்பாட்டு முறை:
[someone] has a grievance against [someone/something]
பொதுவான தவறு:
Learners sometimes confuse "grievance" with "grief". "Grief" is deep sadness after a loss, especially a death, while "grievance" is anger or resentment because you feel something was unfair. Also, use the preposition "against" for the target of the anger (e.g., "a grievance against the company"), not "on" or "to".

A complaint that a person officially makes to an organization, especially about work or rights.

Learners may use "do a grievance" instead of the correct verbs "file" or "lodge" a grievance. In many workplace contexts, "file a grievance" is the most natural phrase. Also, they sometimes say "a grievance letter" when native speakers more often say "a grievance" or "a written grievance".
