Learning notes
Explanation
For feelings, งอน is lighter than outright anger and often carries a sense of being hurt, wanting attention, or wanting the other person to make amends. You can say งอน + person for “sulk at someone” or งอนเรื่อง... for “sulk about something.” For shape, it describes something whose end or edge curls upward, as in ขนตางอน, “curled-up eyelashes.”
Usage
It is common in close relationships such as partners, friends, and family. It fits situations where someone feels mildly hurt or neglected, such as a late reply, a forgotten promise, or a joke that bothered them.
Caution
Using งอน for someone who is seriously angry can sound like you are minimizing their feelings. In formal situations or with people you are not close to, ไม่พอใจ or โกรธ may be more appropriate.
