苦涩 (kǔ sè) — bitter and astringent (in taste); bitter, painful, agonizing (in emotion or experience)
Definizione
苦涩 pairs a physical taste (bitter + astringent) with the emotional sense of painful, restrained feeling. 苦 covers both senses too, but 苦涩 leans more toward the inner emotional 'bitterness' — a sad smile, painful memories.
