making someone feel very ashamed
Making someone feel very small, foolish, and ashamed, often in front of other people.
استعمال کا انداز:
[something] is humiliating for [someone]
عام غلطی:
Learners often confuse "humiliating" and "humiliated". Use "humiliating" for the thing or situation (e.g., "a humiliating comment"), and "humiliated" for how a person feels (e.g., "I felt humiliated"). Another mistake is using it when they only mean "a little embarrassing"; "humiliating" is usually quite strong.

describing a very shameful defeat
Used for a defeat or loss that is very heavy and makes a person, team, or country lose a lot of pride.
استعمال کا انداز:
a humiliating [defeat/loss/retreat] for [someone]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use "humiliating" with small or normal losses where a neutral word like "simple" or "narrow" loss is better. "Humiliating" suggests the defeat is unusually bad and damages pride or reputation.
