Moody/ fool
معطوب المزاج
doesn't sound a correct phrase.
غالبا نقول بأن شخص ما أصبح مزاجي بسبب ضغط العمل أو بسبب خيانة ما
لهذا هل يصح بأن نصف المزاج بالمعطوب؟
It seems to me writers are becoming very inaccurate in their uses of language.
He became moody
He became a fool.
I prefer moody because our moods change when something bad happens.
Something went wrong...
