sudden strong show of feeling
A very strong feeling, usually anger, that comes out suddenly and does not last long.
Kullanım kalıbı:
an outburst of [emotion]
Sık yapılan hata:
Learners sometimes use *outburst* for slow or long-lasting emotions, saying things like *a long outburst of sadness*. An outburst must be sudden and short, so it is better to say *a period of sadness* or *a long time of feeling sad*. Another mistake is to use *outburst* as a verb (e.g., *he outbursted*); the correct verb is *he burst out* or *he had an outburst*.
Eş anlamlılar
flare-up (Often suggests anger or conflict that returns suddenly, sometimes in an ongoing situation, while an outburst can be a single, standalone event.)
|
eruption (More vivid and dramatic than outburst; can sound more figurative or literary in everyday emotional contexts.)
Zıt anlamlılar
self-control (Emphasizes holding emotions in and behaving calmly, which is the opposite of suddenly expressing them in an outburst.)
|
calm response (Describes a controlled, quiet reaction instead of a sudden and strong show of feeling.)

sudden rise in activity
A short time when something, often something bad, suddenly happens much more than usual.
Kullanım kalıbı:
an outburst of [activity]
Sık yapılan hata:
Learners sometimes confuse this with the emotional sense and say things like *an outburst of people* or *an outburst of cars*. Use it with types of activity or events (violence, protests, creativity), not with simple concrete things.
Eş anlamlılar
eruption (Often used in news or formal writing for sudden violence or conflict; slightly more dramatic than outburst.)
|
upsurge (Focuses on the rise in amount or level and can last longer; *outburst* suggests something sharper and shorter.)
Zıt anlamlılar
lull (Refers to a quiet or calm period with little activity, opposite to a sudden burst of activity.)
|
decline (Emphasizes a downward trend in activity, whereas an outburst is a sudden spike upward.)

sudden release from star or earth
In science, a short, sudden time when a star, the sun, or the earth sends out much more energy, light, or material than usual.
Kullanım kalıbı:
an outburst of [energy/light/material]
Sık yapılan hata:
Learners may think this is the same as the everyday emotional meaning. In scientific texts, *outburst* almost always describes physical energy, radiation, or material, not human feelings.
Eş anlamlılar
eruption (Common in geology and astronomy; often overlaps in meaning, but *outburst* is more frequent in some space-science writing for sudden brightness or radiation changes.)
Zıt anlamlılar
quiescence (Technical term for a quiet, inactive state of an astronomical or geological object, opposite to a sudden active outburst.)
