Annoiato

Annoiato is an Italian adjective meaning bored, weary, or fed up. It describes a person who experiences boredom or disinterest, or a situation that is tedious. It is the past participle of the reflexive verb annoiarsi (to become bored). In normal use the adjective agrees with the subject: un ragazzo annoiato, una persona annoiata, gli studenti annoiati. The feminine singular is annoiata; the masculine plural annoiati and the feminine plural annoiate.

Etymology and forms: annoiato derives from the noun noia (boredom) with the reflexive verb annoiarsi. As an adjective, it follows standard Italian gender and number agreement. It is not typically used to express irritation or annoyance; for those meanings Italian would usually use infastidito or seccato.

Usage notes: annoiato primarily conveys a state of boredom or weariness, rather than anger. It is common in everyday speech and in literature to describe dull tasks, slow-paced activities, or monotonous environments. In contrast, noioso is the more common adjective to describe something as boring itself, whereas annoiato emphasizes the feeling of the person experiencing it.

Examples: Mi sono annoiato durante la conferenza. Gli studenti erano annoiati dalla lezione. Il film era noioso, e dopo un po’ mi sono annoiato.
