feeling ashamed or uncomfortable
Feeling shy, uncomfortable, or a little ashamed because of something that happens or something you did.
استعمال کا انداز:
to be/feel embarrassed about [something]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse 'embarrassed' with 'ashamed' or 'shy'. 'Embarrassed' is usually about a specific moment or situation (for example, making a mistake in public). 'Ashamed' is often stronger and more moral (for example, lying to a friend). 'Shy' is more about personality and how someone usually feels with other people. Many learners also say *'I feel myself embarrassed'*; the natural form is 'I feel embarrassed' or 'I am embarrassed.'

استعمال کا انداز:
to be financially embarrassed
عام غلطی:
Learners may think this meaning is about feeling shy or socially uncomfortable with money, but here 'embarrassed' describes the financial situation itself, not an emotion. This sense is usually used together with 'financially' or words like 'debtor', 'company', or 'borrower', not about everyday small money worries.

|
cash-strapped (Informal; often used for people, companies, or organizations that do not have enough money at the moment.)

|
strapped (Very informal; usually in expressions like 'strapped for cash'.)
متضاد الفاظ
