whining

I would say no.

******** = to talk badly about someone or something, also to complain.

Whining = to complain, in the sense of going on about something.

She was ******** about Emily who is now going out with her ex-boyfriend.

Stop whining, I'll buy you an ice-cream in a minute.

Thanks, Optilang. I got it.

By the way, what does the above mean?

Example - my son.

"Dad by me an ice-cream, please."

"Ok I will, later". 30 seconds later

"Dad, I want an ice-cream, please".

"Yes I know, I told you I will buy you one later". 30 seconds later.

"Dad, Dad, buy me an ice-cream, please".

"I will, I will" 30 seconds later

"Dad, when are you going to buy me an ice-cream?

That's so cute. Thanks, Optilang.

******** – is a colloquial expression with a negative connotation. In a bulk sense, it means vocally express your dissatisfaction about something, either with reason or otherwise. When someone is “complaining” about something, there is usually a cause or reason which may or may not stand.



i.e. Mary is ******** about the long hours with her new job.



Whining

Thanks, Goodman!

Lastly, be aware that "********" is considered mildly vulgar.
