1
:
rudeness, bad manners, impertinence
noun, feminine Often used with करना (karnaa) -- बदतमीज़ी करना (badatmiizii karnaa, 'to be rude/misbehave') -- treating the noun as the object of the light verb.
Synonyms: बदतहज़ीबी (badtahziibii, rare), गुस्ताखी (gustaakhii), बेअदबी (beadbii)
Frequency: high
Cultural Note: This word carries real social weight in Hindi-speaking households -- calling someone's behavior बदतमीज़ी (badatmiizii) is a serious rebuke, often from an elder to a younger person, since respect toward elders (बड़ों का आदर, badon kaa aadar) is a strongly held value. You will hear parents scold with lines like यह बदतमीज़ी बंद करो (yah badatmiizii band karo, 'stop this rude behavior').
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners often say बदतमीज़ (badatmiiz) when they mean the abstract noun; remember बदतमीज़ (badatmiiz) describes the person or behavior as an adjective, while बदतमीज़ी (badatmiizii) names the quality or act itself. 2) The verb पair is usually करना (karnaa), not होना (honaa), when describing someone actively being rude -- उसने बदतमीज़ी की (usne badatmiizii kii, 'he was rude/he misbehaved'), not the intransitive form.
