What is the opposite of "Gentle"?
Hey there! My Riri passionately argued that "gentle" was the opposite of "rough." Unsure, I promised to confirm with you teacher, ensuring we all learned something new together.

Hi there! When we talk about the opposite of 'gentle,' we are describing something that isn't soft, calm, or kind. It's more rough, harsh, or forceful.

Here are sentences using the opposites of "gentle":

  1. While the kitten was gentle and cuddly, the puppy's play was rough and rowdy.
  2. The ocean waves were rough, not gentle, as they crashed onto the shore
