How it's used
Focuses on the internal feeling of aversion or the external reaction caused by someone's behavior. It is frequently used to describe social friction or personality clashes rather than physical disgust toward objects or food. It carries a slightly formal weight even in casual speech, often used to express a strong disapproval of someone's conduct.
Examples
His attitude is really disgusting.
Will speaking so loudly make people feel disgusted?
Related words
Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe physical revulsion toward food or smells, as it is strictly for social or psychological aversion. For physical disgust, use 嘔心 instead.
