uncoordinated

German
Persian
Russian
Spanish

When someone or something is uncoordinated, they don't have good control over their movements or actions.

Being uncoordinated can happen to anyone, but it's more common when we're tired, stressed, or trying new things. Imagine you're on a dance floor and your friend starts dancing in a way that doesn't quite make sense - stumbling over their own feet and bumping into people. That would be an example of being uncoordinated! It's like their body is moving without really thinking about it.

In sports, being uncoordinated can mean someone has trouble doing the right movements or actions at the right time. For instance, if a soccer player tries to kick the ball but ends up tripping over their own feet instead, that's an example of being uncoordinated on the field.
