Usage Note
Minable is an informal, somewhat contemptuous adjective that can describe a person, place, or situation. It carries the sense of something or someone falling short in a pitiful or contemptible way — closer to 'pitiful' or 'lousy' than merely 'poor'. It does not change form between masculine and feminine.
Examples
"Son excuse était vraiment minable."
Natural Translation
His excuse was really pathetic.
