Proving my english teacher wrong.
i want to ask native English speakers if I was right or if my English teacher was right.
the task was to translate from polish “Jestem znudzony.” I wrote: “I am bored.”
but my teacher insisted that “I am fed up” was the correct answer.
from my understanding:
“I am bored” = I feel bored / something is uninteresting.
“I am fed up” = I’m annoyed or tired of something.
Am I correct that “I am bored” is the proper translation here?
btw she also said that i am fed up and i am bored are both ok but she says "native speakers" use fed up when they are bored lol.
also if there are any polish people who live in usa, uk, ireland etc. it would be nice to see your answers.
pls i need this for tomorrow so i can show it to her as proof
