jaee
feel choking? or feel chocked? I want to say "I'm frustrated," "He makes me frustrated when he says the nonsense." In that case, can I also say "I feel choking when he says the nonsense?" or "I feel chocked when he says the nonsense?" Thank you! :)

I might be wrong, but i have a feeling you might have the wrong word, with a simple spelling error. 'Choked' in this context is when someone is speechless with a strong feeling or emotion. I thought you might just be looking for the word 'shocked', which means when someone feels surprised and upset. "I feel shocked when he speaks nonsense."

I wouldn't use the verb "to choke" this way because it isn't what it means and will leave people confused. You could say: It annoys me when he speaks nonsense. It infuriates me when he talks nonsense. It bugs me when he is speaking nonsense. He bothers me when he is talking nonsense. You can swap "it" with "he" (or "she") at the beginning of the sentences too.

The general rule is you feel -ed. You don't feel -ing. You feel elated. You feel tired. You feel frustrated. You don't feel elating. You don't feel tiring. You don't feel frustrating.

"He makes me frustrated when he speaks nonsense" No need to put "the" in front of nonsense. I like your want to intensify the feeling by using "choking" but I agree that "frustrated" is probably the better option here. Could also use it as "I feel like choking him when he speaks nonsense."
