Full of problems, change, or conflict, and not calm or stable.
Padron ng paggamit:
a tumultuous [period/event/relationship/life]

very loud and excited (crowd)
Very loud and full of strong feeling, often used about applause, cheers, or a crowd.
Padron ng paggamit:
tumultuous [applause/cheers/reception/welcome]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:

Mga kasingkahulugan
uproarious (Emphasizes very loud noise and laughter; *tumultuous* can sound a bit more formal and can carry more sense of emotional intensity or disorder.)
Mga kasalungat
quiet (Describes a lack of loud noise or excitement, which is the opposite of a tumultuous reaction.)

violently moving or stormy
Moving very strongly and wildly, not calm or controlled, usually used for water or weather.
Padron ng paggamit:
tumultuous [seas/waves/waters/weather]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:

Mga kasingkahulugan
turbulent (Common in both everyday and technical descriptions of air or water in violent motion; *tumultuous* is slightly more literary and emotional.)
Mga kasalungat
calm (Describes seas, weather, or movement that is still or gentle, opposite to tumultuous in this sense.)
