feeling of annoyance or anger
A feeling of being annoyed or a little angry, usually because something keeps bothering you.
Padron ng paggamit:
[someone]'s irritation at/with [something or someone]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes confuse "irritation" (the feeling) with "irritant" (something that causes irritation) or "irritability" (a general tendency to become irritated easily). Another common mistake is using the wrong preposition; it is usually "irritation at" or "irritation with" someone or something, not *"irritation on" or *"irritation about" in this emotional sense.

thing that annoys someone
A person, thing, or situation that makes you feel annoyed, especially again and again.
Padron ng paggamit:
[something] is an irritation to/for [someone]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes use "irritation" only for the feeling and forget that it can also name the thing that causes the feeling. In this sense, it is usually countable ("an irritation", "many irritations"), unlike the emotional sense, which is often uncountable ("a lot of irritation").
Mga kasingkahulugan
nuisance (Very close in meaning, but can sound slightly stronger or more informal in some contexts.)
|
bother (More informal and a bit softer; often used for small everyday irritations.)
Mga kasalungat
pleasure (Something that gives enjoyment, the opposite of something that causes irritation.)
|
relief (A welcome removal of something annoying, often felt when an irritation ends.)

itchy or sore physical feeling
A feeling that part of your body is sore, itchy, or a little painful, often because something has touched or hurt the skin or eyes.
Padron ng paggamit:
irritation of [a body part]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes confuse "irritation" with "irritant" in medical or cosmetic texts. "Irritation" is the feeling or condition (for example, redness, itching), while an "irritant" is the thing that causes that reaction (for example, a chemical or fabric).
Mga kasingkahulugan
inflammation (More medical and often suggests redness and swelling, not just discomfort.)
|
soreness (Focuses on pain or tenderness rather than itching or general discomfort.)
Mga kasalungat
comfort (Describes a state without pain or itching, the opposite of physical irritation.)
|
relief (The end or easing of irritation or pain.)

stimulation of tissue causing reaction
In medical or science language, the way something like heat, a chemical, or pressure makes part of the body react.
Padron ng paggamit:

Learners may not realize this is a more technical, scientific use and try to translate it directly as everyday "annoyance." In medical contexts, it usually refers to a physical or biological process, not an emotion.
Mga kasingkahulugan
stimulation (More general scientific term; does not always imply harm or discomfort, while irritation often does.)
Mga kasalungat
soothing (Refers to actions or conditions that calm tissue and reduce or prevent irritation.)
