Santiman ak reyaksyon

Nan vokabilè santiman yo, nou vit manke mo : happy, sad, angry, tired kouvri anpil, men yo di piti. Epi gen yon pyèj gramatikal ki ka fè ou di egzakteman kontrè sa ou te vle di.

Pyèj -ed / -ing

-ed dekri sa yon moun santi. -ing dekri sa ki pwovoke santiman an.

I'm bored. (mwen anwiye)

I'm boring. (mwen se yon moun raplonjan)

Se dezyèm fraz la nou di pa erè, e li brital.

-ed (ou santi l)	-ing (sa a pwovoke l)
interested	interesting
excited	exciting
tired	tiring
confused	confusing
surprised	surprising
frustrated	frustrating
worried	worrying
embarrassed	embarrassing
disappointed	disappointing
shocked	shocking

The lecture was confusing, so I was confused.

Prepozisyon ki akonpaye yo fiks tou : interested in, worried about, excited about, surprised by, disappointed with, annoyed with someone / about something. Yo pa toujou sanble ak prepozisyon kreyòl la ; aprann yo ansanm ak adjektif la.

Pi lwen pase happy ak sad

Jwa : pleased · delighted · thrilled · content · relieved Tristès : disappointed · upset · down · miserable · devastated Kòlè : annoyed · irritated · frustrated · furious · livid Laperèz : nervous · anxious · worried · terrified Sipriz : astonished · stunned · taken aback

Se yon echèl, se pa sinonim. Annoyed ak furious se entansite diferan yon menm emosyon, e di furious pou yon tren an reta se swa yon plezantri, swa yon siy dezòd.

De mo pou distenge espesyalman : upset vle di « twouble, blese », pa « fache » ; epi nervous vle di « enkyè devan yon bagay », pa « nève » (iritab). Excited tou vle di « ak enpasyans, antouzyastik ».

Pa entansifye yon mo ki deja entans

❌ very furious · ❌ very terrified · ❌ very devastated

Adjektif ki gen degre maksimòm yo pran absolutely oswa utterly, pa very (fache anpil natirèl an kreyòl, pa an angle) : ✅ absolutely furious · ✅ utterly devastated

Ekspresyon chak jou

Vrè konvèsasyon an repoze sou yo plis pase sou lis adjektif yo :

Ekspresyon	Siyifikasyon
I'm fed up with it.	mwen bouke avèk sa
I'm over the moon.	mwen sou nyaj
I'm stressed out.	mwen estrese, mwen anba presyon
I'm in a good / bad mood.	yon imè pasajè
It got on my nerves.	sa te anmède m anpil
I couldn't believe it.	mwen pa t ka kwè sa
It cheered me up.	sa te remonte moral mwen

Apa, feel like + -ing ak sans « anvi » : I feel like going home. · I don't feel like cooking.

Sou santiman lòt moun

Nou raman konnen ak sètitid sa yon lòt moun santi, kidonk angle adousi:

• She seems upset. · He looks exhausted.
• She sounds annoyed. (nan telefòn)
• He doesn't seem very happy about it.

Remake : seem ak look pran adjektif la dirèkteman ; she seems tired, pa « she seems to be tired » nan lang òdinè. Se menm modèl ak Li sanble fatige an kreyòl, kote pa gen vèb ant yo.

Ki jan pou reyaji a sa yon moun di

Silans an angle entèprete kòm endiferans. Reyaksyon estanda :

Bon nouvèl : That's great! · Congratulations! · I'm so pleased for you. Move : Oh no. · I'm so sorry to hear that. · That's awful. Sipriz : Really? · You're joking! · No way! Anpati : That must be hard. · I can imagine.

Dabò reyaksyon an, apresa kesyon an. Lòd moun atann lan se yon repons emosyonèl e apresa yon kesyon : Oh no — what happened? Yon kesyon dirèk sonnen tankou yon entwogatwa, e yon konsèy dirèk, tankou si ou pa t koute.

Yon kolèg te gen yon semèn difisil

A: How's it going?

B: Honestly? I'm fed up. The project got cancelled on Monday.

A: Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that. That must be really frustrating.

B: It is. Two years of work. I'm more disappointed than angry, really.

A: I can imagine. Do you feel like getting a coffee?

Yon ekspresyon fiks, yon adjektif an -ing pou sitiyasyon an ak yon lòt an -ed pou moun nan, de reyaksyon estanda ak feel like + -ing pou chanje sijè ak delikatès.

Teste sa ou konnen

Tès ki anba a repoze sitou sou -ed ak -ing.
