unpleasantly proud and self-important
Thinking and acting as if you are more important or better than other people, in an unpleasant way.
Padron ng paggamit:
[someone] is arrogant (about [something])
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners often confuse ‘arrogant’ with ‘confident’. ‘Confident’ is usually positive and means you believe in yourself, while ‘arrogant’ is negative and means you think you are better than others and often show little respect for them. Learners may also use ‘proud’ when they mean ‘arrogant’; ‘proud’ can be positive (e.g., ‘proud of my family’), but ‘arrogant’ is almost always negative.

|
