morally shocking and disgraceful

Very wrong or shameful in a moral way, so that many people feel shocked or angry about it.

استعمال کا انداز: [something] is scandalous; scandalous [behavior/event/relationship]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use *scandalous* for anything surprising, including positive surprises (e.g., a 'scandalous gift'). In modern English, *scandalous* is strongly negative and usually connected to moral or social shame. Learners may also confuse *scandalous* (adjective) with *scandalized* (feeling shocked) and *scandal* (the noun).

extremely bad and unacceptable

Very bad or wrong in a way that makes people angry and feel it should not be allowed.

استعمال کا انداز: scandalous [prices/situation/conditions]; [something] is scandalous
عام غلطی:
Learners may limit *scandalous* only to sexual or personal behavior. In this sense, it is often used for prices, conditions, neglect, or failures that are extremely unfair or unacceptable. They may also confuse it with *scandalized*, which describes people’s feelings rather than the bad situation itself.
ہم معنی الفاظ
outrageous (Very close in meaning; often used for unfair prices or situations that seem unbelievable.) | appalling (Stresses that something is very bad and shocking, but does not always imply public protest.) | disgraceful (Focuses a bit more on shame and loss of respect than on how extreme the situation is.)
متضاد الفاظ
acceptable (Indicates that something is good enough or not bad enough to cause protest.) | reasonable (Suggests that something (for example, a price or demand) is fair and not too high or extreme.)
