What does “grumpy” mean in English?
A grumpy person is often in a bad mood. They feel a little angry or annoyed, and they may complain. It is a soft, everyday word, not a strong or rude one. You can say it about a person or about a moment. “He is grumpy in the morning” means he is not happy and friendly early in the day. Many people feel grumpy when they are tired or hungry.
In this personality lesson, the teacher describes a man named Tom: “He’s quite grumpy. He’s usually angry or annoyed about something.” That sentence is a clear, simple meaning of the word. You can use it the same way for a friend who is in a bad mood.
