Resentment Meaning in English
word
परिभाषा
A feeling of anger or bitterness because you think you have been treated unfairly or have not received what you deserve.
उपयोग और बारीकियां
Usually formal or neutral; describes a deep, lasting negative feeling, not a momentary irritation. Often used with prepositions like 'toward' or 'against' (e.g., 'resentment toward his boss'). Not easily interchangeable with 'anger' or 'envy'; 'resentment' implies long-term bitterness from perceived unfairness.
