colérico در ۳۰ ثانیه
- Colérico means intensely angry or naturally prone to rage.
- It is more formal and intense than 'enojado' or 'enfadado'.
- It comes from the ancient medical theory of the four humors (yellow bile).
- It changes to colérica for females and coléricos/as for plurals.
The Spanish word colérico is a powerful adjective used to describe someone who is prone to extreme anger, irritability, or outbursts of rage. While often translated as 'angry' or 'irate,' it carries a deeper, more temperamental connotation than the common word 'enojado.' When you call someone colérico, you are often describing a fundamental aspect of their personality—someone who is quick to fly off the handle or whose anger is explosive and intense.
- Historical Roots
- The term is deeply rooted in the ancient medical theory of the four humors. In this system, a person's temperament was determined by the balance of bodily fluids. A 'choleric' person was thought to have an excess of yellow bile (cólera), leading to a hot, dry, and aggressive disposition. This historical context explains why the word feels more descriptive of a 'type' of person rather than just a fleeting feeling.
In modern usage, you will encounter colérico in literature, formal journalism, and psychological descriptions. It is not a word you would typically use in a casual street conversation with friends to say you're 'mad' about a late bus; rather, it's used to describe the frightening intensity of a tyrant, the explosive reaction of a frustrated driver, or the habitual irritability of a strict boss.
El director lanzó un grito colérico que se escuchó en todo el edificio.
- Nuance of Intensity
- If 'enfadado' is a 4/10 on the anger scale, 'colérico' is an 8/10 or higher. It suggests a loss of control or a very high-energy state of fury. It is often paired with physical descriptions like a red face, trembling hands, or shouting.
Su rostro colérico asustó a los niños que jugaban en el parque.
Furthermore, the word can describe actions or expressions as well as people. A 'gesto colérico' (a choleric gesture) might be a slammed fist or a pointed finger. Because of its formal tone, it is excellent for adding descriptive weight to your writing, making your descriptions of conflict more vivid and precise than the more common 'muy enojado.'
La respuesta del político fue un discurso colérico contra la prensa.
- Psychological Context
- In some psychology-adjacent texts in Spanish, 'colérico' is used to classify personality types. A 'temperamento colérico' is someone who is natural-born leader, goal-oriented, but also prone to impatience and anger when things don't go their way.
A pesar de ser un gran estratega, su temperamento colérico le impedía mantener amistades duraderas.
Se puso colérica al descubrir que le habían mentido durante años.
Using colérico correctly involves understanding both its grammatical function as an adjective and the verbs it typically pairs with. Because it describes a state of being or a character trait, you will frequently see it used with the verbs ser, estar, and ponerse.
- Ser vs. Estar
- Use 'ser colérico' to describe a permanent personality trait. For example, 'Él es colérico' means he is a naturally angry or irritable person. Use 'estar colérico' to describe a temporary state of intense fury: 'Él está colérico ahora mismo' means he is currently in a rage, though he might not always be that way.
Another very common verb construction is ponerse colérico/a. This indicates a transformation or a reaction to a specific event. It is the equivalent of 'to become irate' or 'to fly into a rage.' This is perhaps the most frequent way you will hear the word used in narrative contexts.
Cuando vio el coche rayado, el dueño se puso colérico.
In descriptive writing, colérico often follows the noun it modifies to add emphasis. For instance, 'una reacción colérica' sounds more sophisticated than 'una reacción de enojo.' It can also be used as a noun in certain contexts, though this is much rarer and usually preceded by an article, like 'el colérico' (the angry man), but this is mostly found in older literature.
- Common Noun Pairings
- Words that often go with colérico include: carácter, temperamento, reacción, respuesta, grito, mirada, and gesto. These pairings help define the specific way the anger is being manifested.
Su carácter colérico le ha causado muchos problemas en el trabajo.
You can also modify the intensity of colérico with adverbs like 'sumamente' (extremely), 'altamente' (highly), or 'un tanto' (somewhat), although 'un tanto colérico' is a bit of an oxymoron since the word itself implies high intensity. Usually, if someone is 'colérico,' they are already at a peak level of anger.
La multitud se volvió colérica ante las noticias del aumento de impuestos.
- Sentence Structure Tip
- When using it in a 'because' structure: 'Se puso colérico porque...' (He became irate because...). This is a standard way to explain the cause of the sudden rage.
No seas tan colérico; intenta mantener la calma y escuchar.
Sus palabras coléricas hirieron los sentimientos de todos los presentes.
While you might not hear colérico in a reggaeton song or a casual teen vlog, it has a firm place in several specific domains of the Spanish-speaking world. Understanding these contexts will help you recognize the word when it appears and use it appropriately.
- Literature and Fine Arts
- Spanish literature is rich with 'personajes coléricos.' From the classic works of Cervantes to the modern novels of Isabel Allende, authors use this word to paint vivid pictures of passionate, volatile characters. It evokes a sense of drama and high stakes. If you are reading a novel and a character is described as 'colérico,' expect a confrontation or a significant plot shift soon.
In the world of journalism, specifically in opinion pieces or political commentary, colérico is used to critique the behavior of public figures. A journalist might describe a politician's reaction to a scandal as 'una respuesta colérica' to suggest that the politician has lost their composure or is reacting out of guilt or desperation.
El editorial describió al ministro como un hombre colérico incapaz de negociar.
- Dubbing and Subtitles
- In Spanish-dubbed movies (especially those from Hollywood), translators often use 'colérico' to translate English words like 'irate,' 'furious,' or 'incensed.' If a character in an action movie is screaming in rage, the subtitles might read: '[Grito colérico]'. This helps maintain the dramatic tone that a simpler word like 'enojado' might lose.
You might also encounter the word in academic or psychological settings. When discussing personality disorders or behavioral tendencies, psychologists might use colérico to describe a specific pattern of aggressive behavior or a 'choleric' personality type in a non-clinical, descriptive sense.
En la obra de teatro, el rey siempre aparecía en un estado colérico.
- Religious and Moral Discourses
- In sermons or moral teachings, 'colérico' is sometimes used to describe one of the 'passions' that a person must learn to control. It is linked to the 'pecado capital' (deadly sin) of 'ira' (wrath). Here, it carries a weight of moral judgment, suggesting that being colérico is a flaw to be overcome.
El orador advirtió sobre los peligros de un corazón colérico.
Incluso el hombre más tranquilo puede volverse colérico bajo suficiente presión.
Even for intermediate students, colérico can be a bit tricky because of its similarity to other words and its specific intensity. Avoiding these common pitfalls will make your Spanish sound more natural and accurate.
- Confusion with 'Cólera' (The Disease)
- This is the most frequent point of confusion. 'El cólera' (masculine) refers to the bacterial disease cholera. 'La cólera' (feminine) refers to rage or anger. However, the adjective 'colérico' can relate to both. While it almost always means 'angry' in modern conversation, in a medical history context, it could mean 'related to cholera.' Always look at the surrounding words to be sure.
Another mistake is overusing the word. Because 'colérico' implies a very high level of anger, using it to describe someone who is just a little annoyed sounds dramatic or sarcastic. If your friend is slightly upset because you're five minutes late, don't say 'estás colérico.' Instead, use 'molesto' or 'un poco enojado.'
Incorrecto: Mi hermano está colérico porque no hay leche. (Too dramatic unless he's throwing chairs!)
- Gender and Number Agreement
- Remember that adjectives in Spanish must match the noun. A common mistake is saying 'Ellas están colérico' instead of 'Ellas están coléricas.' Always check the ending!
Students also sometimes confuse colérico with caluroso (hot) because they both start with 'c' and deal with 'heat' (anger is often described as heat). However, they are completely unrelated. Similarly, don't confuse it with 'colorado' (blushed/red), although a 'colérico' person might indeed be 'colorado' from rage.
Correcto: Las maestras estaban coléricas por el comportamiento de los alumnos.
- Misusing 'Ser' and 'Estar'
- If you say 'Él es colérico,' you are judging his personality. If you say 'Él está colérico,' you are describing his current state. Using 'ser' when you mean 'estar' can lead to insulting someone's character when you only meant they were having a bad moment.
No es que él sea colérico, es que hoy ha tenido un día terrible.
Los clientes coléricos exigen hablar con el gerente de inmediato.
To truly master colérico, it is helpful to see how it compares to other Spanish words for anger. Spanish has a rich vocabulary for emotions, and choosing the right word can change the entire tone of your sentence.
- Colérico vs. Iracundo
- These two are very close synonyms. 'Iracundo' comes from 'ira' (wrath). While 'colérico' implies a physiological or temperamental disposition (the humors), 'iracundo' often feels more biblical or literary. You might use 'iracundo' to describe a vengeful god or a tragic hero, whereas 'colérico' feels slightly more grounded in personality theory.
- Colérico vs. Furioso
- 'Furioso' is the most common high-intensity word. It describes someone who is 'furious.' The main difference is that 'furioso' is almost always a state (estar furioso), while 'colérico' is frequently a trait (ser colérico). You can be 'furioso' for a minute, but a 'colérico' person is someone you have to be careful around all the time.
If you want to describe someone who is just 'grumpy' or 'cranky,' use malhumorado. This word literally means 'in a bad humor' and is much less intense than colérico. It's perfect for someone who hasn't had their coffee yet.
Mi jefe no es colérico, simplemente está malhumorado por la mañana.
- Colérico vs. Rabioso
- 'Rabioso' comes from 'rabia' (rabies/rage). It implies a wild, almost animalistic anger. Use 'rabioso' when someone is foaming at the mouth with anger. 'Colérico' is intense but can also be a cold, sharp, and authoritarian kind of anger.
El perro rabioso asustó a todos, pero el dueño estaba simplemente colérico por la multa.
In summary, choose colérico when you want to emphasize a deep-seated, explosive, or temperamental fury. It is a sophisticated choice that adds color and precision to your Spanish descriptions, setting you apart as a learner who understands the nuances of emotional expression.
No hay nada más peligroso que un líder colérico con poder absoluto.

نکته جالب
The word is linked to the 'humoral' theory of medicine. People believed that an excess of yellow bile made you angry and aggressive. This is why we still use 'choleric' or 'colérico' to describe this personality type today!

No. Even though it comes from 'yellow bile' which was considered a 'hot' humor, in modern Spanish it only refers to anger and irritability, never temperature.
'Enojado' is common and can be mild. 'Colérico' is formal, much more intense, and often describes a personality type or an explosive outburst.
It can be. Calling someone 'colérico' is a criticism of their lack of self-control, though in some psychological contexts, it's just a descriptive label for a temperament.
You say 'el cólera' (masculine). 'La cólera' (feminine) means rage. The adjective 'colérico' can technically apply to both, but 99% of the time it means 'angry'.

A 'flemático' person (calm/unemotional) or simply a 'persona tranquila' or 'apacible'.

Summary
The word 'colérico' is your go-to adjective for describing someone with a 'short fuse' or an explosive temper. Use it with 'ser' for personality and 'estar' or 'ponerse' for temporary states of fury. Example: 'Se puso colérico al perder las llaves' (He became irate upon losing his keys).
- Colérico means intensely angry or naturally prone to rage.
- It is more formal and intense than 'enojado' or 'enfadado'.
- It comes from the ancient medical theory of the four humors (yellow bile).
- It changes to colérica for females and coléricos/as for plurals.
Level Up Your Anger
Replace 'muy enojado' with 'colérico' in your next essay to impress your teacher. It sounds much more professional.
Watch the Gender
Always check if you are describing a man (colérico) or a woman (colérica). It's a common mistake for English speakers.
Stress the LE
The 'lé' is the heart of the word. Make sure it's louder and longer than the other syllables.
Use with 'Ponerse'
To describe someone 'flying into a rage', use 'se puso colérico'. It's a very natural-sounding phrase.
مثال
Su jefe es muy colérico cuando no se cumplen los plazos.
