lack of gratitude or appreciation
A feeling or behavior where someone does not feel or show thanks for help or kindness.
Padron ng paggamit:
ingratitude towards [someone]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes confuse 'ingratitude' with 'gratitude' because of the similar form; remember that the prefix 'in-' makes it negative. Another mistake is treating it as countable, e.g. '*an ingratitude*'; in normal use, 'ingratitude' is uncountable, though you can say 'an act of ingratitude'. Learners may also say '*ingrateful*' instead of the correct adjective 'ungrateful'.
