असंतुष्ट (asantusht)
adjective
A formal adjective meaning 'dissatisfied, discontented' -- built from the negative prefix अ- (a) plus संतुष्ट (santusht, 'satisfied'). One straightforward sense.
Sense
1
:
dissatisfied, discontented
adjective Used with से (se) to mark the source of dissatisfaction, as in किसी बात से असंतुष्ट (kisii baat se asantusht, 'dissatisfied about something').
Synonyms: नाखुश (naakhush), असंतुष्ट-मन (asantusht-man, rare), नाराज़ (naaraaz, meaning scope: also covers 'annoyed/upset', not just 'unsatisfied')
Frequency: medium
Cultural Note: This word shows up constantly in formal or written contexts -- customer complaints, employee reviews, news reports about public opinion (जनता असंतुष्ट है, jantaa asantusht hai, 'the public is dissatisfied'). In casual chat among friends, people usually reach for नाखुश (naakhush) instead; असंतुष्ट (asantusht) has a slightly more official, report-writing flavor, the kind of word you'd hear from a manager or in a news bulletin rather than at the dinner table.
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners often reach for नाखुश (naakhush) or नाराज़ (naaraaz) interchangeably, but असंतुष्ट (asantusht) is more formal and specifically about lack of satisfaction (with a decision, service, result) rather than general unhappiness or anger. 2) The source of dissatisfaction is marked with से (se), not पर (par) or को (ko) -- e.g. सेवा से असंतुष्ट (sevaa se asantusht, 'dissatisfied with the service'), not सेवा पर असंतुष्ट.
