Translation
nervous
Definition
Nervous describes a state of being easily agitated, worried, or anxious, often accompanied by physical sensations like a racing heart or sweaty palms. This emotional state typically arises in anticipation of a stressful event, such as a test, performance, or important meeting. People who are nervous may feel restless, tense, or unable to relax, and it can affect their concentration and behavior. The term is commonly used in everyday English to express temporary unease rather than a chronic condition.
