awkward
Significado
uncomfortable, clumsy, difficult, embarrassing
La palabra describe situaciones o momentos que son incómodos o embarazosos, donde las cosas no fluyen de manera natural. Puede referirse a una persona que se siente torpe o insegura en ciertas circunstancias, o a un objeto que es difícil de manejar o usar. Es común usarla para describir interacciones sociales donde hay tensión o incomodidad.
💡 A common mistake is to confuse "awkward" with "awkwardly," which is an adverb; remember to use "awkward" as an adjective to describe nouns.
