What is the difference between Disappointed and Disillusioned?

I am learning emotional vocabulary.

I stuck a bit with two emotion terms, that in Russian refers to the same world.

Can you help me to understand the difference between Disappointed and Disillusioned?

Thanks!

Answer

Pulling from your definitions:

You are disappointed in a situation, or a person, if you hoped or expected a certain outcome that failed to come to pass.

You are disillusioned, on the other hand, if you believed something that turned out not to be true.

Disillusionment is a subset of disappointment, and conveys a deeper feeling.
