rude and not showing respect

Behaving in a very rude and bold way, without showing respect for other people or for normal rules.

استعمال کا انداز: [someone] is impudent; an impudent [remark / question / child]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse "impudent" with "imprudent." "Impudent" means rude and not respectful, while "imprudent" means not wise or not careful about possible problems. Learners may also think "impudent" is casual like "cheeky," but it is more formal and usually more strongly negative.

insolent (Very close in meaning, but can sound even more openly hostile or contemptuous than "impudent.") | impertinent (Stresses disrespect by saying or asking something that is not appropriate to the situation.) | cheeky (More informal and often lighter or humorous; "impudent" is more formal and usually more strongly disapproving.)
متضاد الفاظ

cheekily or playfully bold

Rude in a small, playful way that may surprise people but is not meant to be truly hurtful or very serious.

استعمال کا انداز: an impudent [smile / grin / question / joke]
عام غلطی:
Learners may think this lighter, playful use is the main meaning and use "impudent" where native speakers would prefer informal words like "cheeky" or "sassy." In everyday speech, "impudent" often sounds too formal or strong for friendly teasing.
ہم معنی الفاظ
cheeky (Very close in this lighter sense, but "cheeky" is informal; "impudent" sounds more formal or literary.) | saucy (Suggests playful rudeness; can sound old-fashioned or humorous compared to the more neutral tone of "impudent.")
متضاد الفاظ
meek (Describes someone who is quiet and does not challenge others, the opposite of the boldness in this sense of "impudent.") | demure (Suggests modest, shy, or very proper behavior, which contrasts with the teasing boldness of an "impudent" look or remark.)
