Cultural Note
Dezamăgire comes from 'a dezamăgi' (to disappoint), and Romanians take it very personally. Expressing dezamăgire toward someone is considered a serious emotional statement — 'M-ai dezamăgit' (You disappointed me) can feel heavier than 'M-ai supărat' (You upset me) because it implies broken expectations.
