Зависит от градации неудобства и в чем оно именно выражено: be an obstacle, prevent smb from doing something, disturb someone, annoy, be pain in the ass

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 5 years ago

to make a nuisance of oneself, но в определённом контексте
Nastya, напишите хотя бы предложение в качестве примера.

Примерно так: Создавать неудобства для окружающих, разговаривая по видео-звонку в кафе

Anna Annaadded a comment 5 years ago

His talking on video call in cafe caused too much annoyance to others

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 5 years ago

discomfort is physical - I don't think it applies here

Nick Uzhovadded a comment 5 years ago

hi Uly! May I disagree with you? "Discomfort, mental or physical uneasiness" (Merriam-Webster).
The Russian "создавать неудобства для окружающих"

Nick Uzhovadded a comment 5 years ago

The Russian "создавать неудобства для окружающих" reminded me transit (subway) rules, even though it may be not exact phrase, so I looked at some North American transit codes of conducts and found phrases like 'undesirable pets that can cause discomfort to others'

Спасибо всем!

Hi Nick, you’re talking about the meaning ofone word, but I’m putting that word in a context and showing you with the Ngram that in that context it doesn’t sound very natural. Something that is said to cause discomfort usually refers to physical discomfort and not to emotional anxiety or uneasiness “to everyone. around.”

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 5 years ago

The issue comes when you combine DISCOMFORT with the verb CAUSE - this immediately links it to PHYSICAL, BODILY discomfort and not to being made to feel uncomfortable. I think we’ve learned on here that dictionaries don’t always give the whole story. CONTEXT is the true teacher 😉

Oh, I agree, the context is the king
