Word #5

Word: Impertinent

Source
: I read this word in Indigenous Peoples, Ethnic Groups, and the State by David Maybury. It was reading homework for my Anthropology 146 class.

How it was used: They also feel it is impertinent, because they consider that the use of the Brazilian Amazon is essentially a matter for Brazilians to decide.

Definition: Impertinent-adjective

1. intrusive or presumptuous, as persons or their actions; insolently ride; uncivil: a brash, impertinent youth.

2. not pertinent or relevant; irrelevant: an impertinent detail.

3. Archaic. inappropriate, incongruous, or absurd.

4. Obsolete. (of persons) trivial, silly, or absurd.

My sentence: It is extremely impertinent to accuse others of lying when their is no proof.
