Usage Note

Incomodar means to cause discomfort or to put someone in an awkward position, and can be used reflexively: me incomoda su actitud ('his attitude makes me uncomfortable'). It is more neutral and polite than molestar, which can imply outright annoyance. The adjective incómodo ('uncomfortable') shares the same root.

Examples

"Sus preguntas me incomodaron bastante."

Natural Translation

His questions made me quite uncomfortable.
