infelice
unhappy
adjective een-feh-LEE-cheh Less Common
Origin: from Latin infelix, 'unfruitful'
Also means
unfortunate
Usage Note
Infelice is the negation of felice ('happy'), formed with the prefix in-. Beyond 'unhappy' it can mean 'ill-judged', as in una scelta infelice ('an unfortunate choice'). It ends in -e, so it has one form for both genders, only changing to infelici in the plural.
Examples
"Sembra molto infelice ultimamente."
Natural Translation
He seems very unhappy lately.
Literal Translation
Seems very unhappy lately.
