What does Bitter really mean?

Hey there! So, let's talk about the word "bitter." When something is described as bitter, it means that it has a sharp, unpleasant taste. Like when you bite into a lemon and it makes your mouth pucker up. That's a bitter taste. It's kind of like when you taste something really, really strong, like dark chocolate or certain types of vegetables. Bitter is the opposite of sweet, so if you think of something that tastes really sugary and then imagine the complete opposite, that's bitter.

But "bitter" can also describe a feeling or emotion. If someone feels bitter, it means they feel really angry and upset about something. Like, if you worked really hard on a project and someone else got all the credit, you might feel bitter about it. It's like having a sour feeling inside, kind of like eating something really bitter and not liking it at all.

So, to sum it up, "bitter" can mean either having a sharp, unpleasant taste or feeling really angry and upset about something. It's like when you taste something really strong and it makes your face scrunch up, or when you feel really mad about something that happened. I hope that makes sense!
