The word “resent” and “ indignant” means the same or used interchangeably?
- Filipino
- English (US)
“Resent” is a verb. “Indignant” is an adjective.
To resent is to feel bitter towards someone/something.
To be indignant is to feel angry towards something/someone you believe is unjust.
Resentment often brings feelings of indignation. But these are not to be used interchangeably.

Thank you very much for your help so, resent can be used for parental authority while indignant can be used for inequality of society.
