wasp·ish

?Which word?

Keep the bad-tempered words together: waspish (sharp and critical), peevish (easily annoyed), irascible (getting angry easily), cantankerous (bad-tempered and arguing), testy, tetchy.

चिड़चिड़ेपन के शब्द साथ याद रखिए: waspish (तीखा और आलोचनात्मक), peevish (जल्दी चिढ़ने वाला), irascible (जल्दी गुस्सा होने वाला), cantankerous (चिड़चिड़ा और बहस करने वाला), testy, tetchy।

Keep apart waspish (bad-tempered) and wistful (sadly wishing for something).

Waspish (चिड़चिड़ा) और wistful (उदासी से किसी चीज़ की चाह) को अलग रखिए।
