Mutter Meaning in English

word

释义

To speak quietly and unclearly, often complaining or talking to yourself.

用法与细微差别

Informal. Commonly used for negative or annoyed speech under one’s breath. Not the same as 'whisper' (which is secretive, but clearer). You 'mutter' when you don’t want others to clearly hear or understand.
