feel let down · feel unhappy because something hoped for did not happen
Ever had big hopes for something, only for it to fall flat? 😭 That's exactly when you'd say you're 'disappointed'! It perfectly captures that bummed-out feeling when reality doesn't quite match your expectations. It's a super common way to express mild to moderate sadness about an outcome.
💡 **Pro Tip!** You can use 'disappointed with/by' something (like an outcome or product) or 'disappointed in' someone (like a friend's behavior). For example, 'I'm disappointed *with* the results' vs. 'I'm disappointed *in* you for lying'. The latter implies a breach of trust, so choose wisely! 😉
Imagine your friend told you about an amazing new restaurant, but when you go, the food is just mediocre. Which English expression best describes how you'd feel? A. to be thrilled B. to be ecstatic C. to be disappointed
