unhappy

Unhappy is when someone feels sadness or discontent about their life or situation.

When we say someone is unhappy, it usually means they're feeling blue or down about something that's happening to them. Maybe they lost a job, broke up with a partner, or had some other kind of disappointment. Sometimes people use the word unhappy in a more general way, like when they're just not feeling enthusiastic about things anymore. If you know someone who's usually bubbly but lately seems really down, they might be described as unhappy.
