How do I say ‘I’m annoyed’?
Very natural in casual speech, but the target of the annoyance is often left implicit.
好烦
This is so annoying / I’m so annoyed.
So bothersome.
This is so annoying / I’m so annoyed.
WHEN IT FITS
Chinese separates the felt irritation, 烦, from something or someone that causes irritation, 烦人.
好烦 is often a venting phrase — it does not necessarily demand a solution. When you add 心里 (心里很烦), you shift the focus inward to your own emotional state rather than blaming the situation. And critically: saying 你好烦 to someone’s face is a direct personal criticism, far sharper than the English “you’re annoying” might suggest.
