morally shocking and shameful
Very bad and wrong in a way that makes people feel shame or strong anger.
استعمال کا انداز:
[disgraceful] [behavior/action/situation]; it is disgraceful that [clause]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse "disgraceful" with "disgraced." "Disgraceful" describes behavior or things that cause shame (e.g., "disgraceful behavior"), while "disgraced" describes a person who has lost respect because of their actions (e.g., "a disgraced athlete"). Learners may also overuse it for small problems, but in English it usually suggests strong moral disapproval, not just a minor issue.

extremely bad or unacceptable quality
Very bad in quality or level, so that it should not be accepted.
استعمال کا انداز:
[disgraceful] [service/conditions/performance/record]
عام غلطی:
Learners may think "disgraceful" always refers to moral issues, but it is also used for very poor quality in everyday things like service, conditions, or performance. However, it still sounds strong, so it is not usually used for small annoyances.
ہم معنی الفاظ
appalling (Strong criticism of quality; often used for very bad conditions or service.)
|
terrible (More general and more frequent; often slightly weaker than "disgraceful.")
|
unacceptable (Focuses on not meeting a required or expected standard, sometimes less emotional.)
متضاد الفاظ
excellent (Describes very high quality, the direct opposite of extremely poor quality.)
|
acceptable (Means good enough to be allowed; opposite of something so bad it should not be accepted.)
