زمینه فرهنگی
The term originated in cybernetics and biology to describe systems that self-correct. In the 20th century, it moved into business and psychology to describe human communication. Today, it is a staple of 'growth mindset' culture in the West, where failing and receiving critiques is celebrated as a path to mastery.
The 'Sandwich' Secret
If you have to give negative feedback, start with a compliment, give the critique, and end with a compliment. It's a classic English-speaking workplace trick!
Don't take it personally
In English, 'feedback' is often treated like data. Try to respond with 'Thank you for the feedback' to sound professional, even if you're annoyed.

What It Means
Negative feedback is basically the opposite of a compliment. It is information that tells you something is wrong. In science, it is a loop that keeps things stable. In real life, it is just someone saying, "Hey, this isn't working." It sounds scary, but it is often meant to help you grow. Think of it as a GPS telling you that you took a wrong turn. It is not an insult; it is a correction.
How To Use It
You use this phrase as a noun. You can receive, get, give, or provide it. Usually, people say they are "dealing with" negative feedback. It often follows verbs like handle or process. If you are at work, you might say, "I got some negative feedback on my presentation." It sounds more professional than saying "My boss hated my slides." Use it when you want to be objective about criticism.
When To Use It
Use it in professional settings like performance reviews. Use it when talking about online reviews for a restaurant. It is perfect for discussing a project that didn't go well. You can use it with friends when talking about your hobbies. For example, "I posted my art and got some negative feedback." It helps you stay calm while talking about something that might hurt your feelings. It turns a personal attack into a data point.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use it for a simple "no" from a friend. If your friend says they don't like your shoes, that is just an opinion. If someone is just being mean or bullying, do not call it negative feedback. That is just being rude. Avoid using it in very emotional, private moments. You wouldn't say to a partner, "I have some negative feedback about our date." That is a one-way ticket to a very lonely evening.
Cultural Background
In Western business culture, there is a big focus on "constructive" negative feedback. Managers are often taught the "sandwich method." They give a compliment, then the negative feedback, then another compliment. This makes the medicine easier to swallow. In some cultures, being this direct is seen as very rude. In the US and UK, it is often seen as a necessary tool for success and efficiency.
Common Variations
You will often hear constructive criticism as a nicer version. People also use critical feedback to sound more academic. In tech, people might just say bugs or issues. If the feedback is very harsh, you might hear backlash or a roasting. However, negative feedback remains the most standard, neutral term for any report that things aren't perfect.
نکات کاربردی
Remember that 'feedback' is an uncountable noun—never add an 's' to it. It is a neutral term that fits almost any situation where a critique is being discussed.

Softening the Blow
Native speakers often use 'hedging' words like 'a bit' or 'some' before the phrase. Saying 'I have a bit of negative feedback' sounds much kinder than 'I have negative feedback'.
