phẫn uất

The Vietnamese word "phẫn uất" means a deep feeling of anger or indignation that is often kept inside rather than expressed outwardly. It's like feeling a strong sense of injustice or frustration that makes you feel upset, but you don’t show those feelings openly. You might feel "phẫn uất" when something unfair happens and you want to react, but you hold back.

Usage Instructions:

• You can use "phẫn uất" to describe your feelings in situations where you feel wronged or when you see someone else being treated unfairly.
