焦虑不安

焦虑不安 is often used as a predicate to describe a person's emotional state. It directly follows the subject.

他最近感到焦虑不安。 (He has been feeling anxious lately.)

It can be modified by adverbs of degree like 感到 (gǎndào, to feel), 非常 (fēicháng, very), or 有点儿 (yǒudiǎnr, a little).

她感到非常焦虑不安。 (She feels very anxious and uneasy.)

When describing a situation that causes anxiety, you can use 让人 (ràng rén, make people) before 焦虑不安.

等待结果让人焦虑不安。 (Waiting for the results makes people anxious.)

It can be used as an attributive, usually with 的 (de), to describe something characterized by anxiety.

他表现出焦虑不安的样子。 (He showed an anxious appearance.)

While 焦虑不安 describes a state, it can sometimes be used in a broader context to refer to a period or atmosphere of anxiety.

这个时期充满了焦虑不安。 (This period was full of anxiety and unease.)
