Usage notes
- For temporary feelings, use essere di buon/cattivo umore. For stable personality, carattere or temperamento is often more natural.
- In everyday Italian, umore usually means mood, not something funny. For jokes or comedy, use battuta, comicità, or senso dell’umorismo.
- Common pattern: cambiare umore or essere di umore + adjective. Don’t translate English 'in a mood' literally in all contexts.
