اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes confuse 'impudence' with 'impatience' or 'imprudence' because they look similar. 'Impudence' means rude lack of respect; 'impatience' means not wanting to wait; 'imprudence' (less common) means not being careful or wise. Some learners also think 'impudence' is positive, like 'confidence', but it always has a negative, disrespectful feeling.
