Usage notes

The Russian word "обидно" is often defined as "offensive" but its meaning is significantly wider than the comparatively narrow English word "offensive," which often presupposes a deliberate insult. "Обидно" can express a range of emotions from disappointment, to frustration, to anger, to annoyance, to a general sense of unfairness or injustice.
