  • In Polish, if you want to say someone is 'annoying' in a more colloquial, 'pest-like' way, you might use the word upierdliwy, which is far more informal than irytujący.
  • While irytujący describes the cause, drażliwy is often used in medical contexts to describe 'irritable' conditions, such as zespół jelita drażliwego for irritable bowel syndrome.
  • The root of drażliwy is linked to the Proto-Slavic word *draznь, which relates to the idea of rubbing or grating.
