In GLU we had a question on difference between schlimm-schlecht
(bad-poor). My rule of thumb was: - use bad if something feels
bad, affects you emotionally in a negative sense - use poor to
judge objectively something which doesn't affect you
emotionally, e.g., like a teacher judging the grades of a
distinct pupil, while the pupil's mother would judge them rather
as bad grades from a very personal and emotional point of view,
feeling bad about the future of her child. I'm not looking for
spanish adjectives/adverb of fatal, sick, sad in English.
Doesn't match the the general meaning of poor & bad in my
opinion. Is there a word matching malo,mala for this
differentiation in a similar way as in Ger?
