Bedeutung
Feeling unhappy or irritable.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Complaining (marudzenie) is a social bonding ritual. Admitting to a 'zły humor' is often the start of a deep conversation. In contrast to Poland, Americans often feel pressure to say they are 'fine' even if they have a bad mood. The British might use 'under the weather' or 'grumpy', but like Poles, they often use the weather as an excuse for a bad mood. Similar to Poland, the long winters are a socially accepted reason for having a 'zły humor'.
The 'Mieć' Rule
Always use 'mieć' (to have) with humor. Avoid saying 'Jestem zły humor'.
Not about Jokes
If you want to say a joke is bad, say 'słaby żart', not 'zły humor'.
