Usage Note

Agacer describes a mild but persistent irritation — more 'to get on someone's nerves' than to deeply anger. The adjective agaçant means 'annoying' and is very common in speech. Note the spelling change: j'agace → nous agaçons (cedilla before 'o').

Examples

"Ce bruit m'agace vraiment."

Natural Translation

That noise really annoys me.
