not kind; hurtful or mean

Not kind; saying or doing things that hurt another person’s feelings.

பயன்பாட்டு முறை: to be unkind to [someone]
பொதுவான தவறு:
Learners often say "unkind with me" instead of "unkind to me." Use the preposition "to": "He is unkind to me." Some also confuse "unkind" with "not kind"; both are correct, but "unkind" is usually stronger and sounds more critical.
