The use of the word "bother"
Hi
If a guest is sitting right in front of the AC in the room, and the host senses his discomfort --can he say something like this:
I can turn off the AC if the cold is bothering you.
I can turn down the air-conditioning if it is bothering you?
Is it significant to mention what is bothering the person when it is already understood? I mean, can we say something like this?
I hope the AC isn't bothering you?
Thanks,
Tom
PS: Can we also use the word "disturb" here? Or is there any better word?
