For example, you can use this popular Egyptian phrase -

مش متحمس
(meš motaḥammes)
"discouraged"
Okay, oh! I like this one -
مش متحمس
(meš motaḥammes)
"discouraged".

your Egyptian friends might use it with you sometimes if you invite them over to do something or go somewhere and if they answer
مش متحمس
(meš motaḥammes)
مش متحمس
(meš motaḥammesa)
for a girl, they might suddenly want to tell you that they don’t want to do it or they don’t want to go, but they’ll just tell you, I’m so discouraged, I’m a little discouraged about it. That means they probably don’t want to do it so take the hint.
For example -
مش متحمس و مش هشترك في المسابقة السنة دي.
(meš motaḥammes we meš hašterek fī el-mosābʾah el-sanah dī.)
"I'm discouraged and I won't be joining the competition this year."
It’s not like you don’t have faith in your abilities or something. It means that you don’t really want to do it. You don’t like it or you’re not interested in it.
7.
محبط
(moḥbaṭ)
"disappointed"
For example, you can say -
حاسس إني محبط بسبب تصرفاتك.
(ḥāses ʾennī moḥbaṭ besabab taṣarrofātak.)
"Your acts disappoint me."
Usually, you would hear it from a parent, I am so disappointed by your actions.
