Both "I'm disgusted" and "I'm revolted" express strong negative reactions, but they have slight differences in usage and tone. Key Differences: 1. "I'm disgusted" – More common and widely used. It expresses strong dislike, moral outrage, or physical revulsion (e.g., "I'm disgusted by the way they treat animals"). 2. "I'm revolted" – Less common and more dramatic. It suggests extreme disgust, often with a sense of shock or horror (e.g., "I was revolted by the sight of rotten food"). Tip: - If you're reacting to something mildly unpleasant, "disgusted" is the better choice. - If you want to emphasize a strong, almost visceral reaction, "revolted" works well. For everyday conversation, "disgusted" sounds more natural! Keep up the great work with these distinctions!

"revolted" is an intense and often more morally charged feeling than "disgusted."

You can say something is revolting. It is a synonym of causing abhorrence or disgust. You can say an odor is revolting or the sight of something is revolting.

No, we don't say I'm revolted, because revolted usually means rebelled. Meanwhile, revolting usually means disgusting, because it's been changed from its original meaning. There's no logic to this, it just needs to be memorised, because it's based on trend.
