German to Italian translations [PRO]
Art/Literary - Linguistics
German term or phrase: Unwörter
Nicht so günstig: „Unwörter“

Le intendereste come "gaffes"? Parole sconvenienti?

Per ogni possibile alternativa o suggerimento vi ringrazio.

Grazie a tutti, al testo si adattava una soluzione di questo tipo, anche se le altre erano validissime. Infatti erano frasi e parole inadeguate, inopportune. Buon lavoro, grazie ancora, F

linguaggio improprio


Explanation:
1. <Pl. Unwörter> schlecht, falsch gebildetes, unschönes Wort (1 a): die Amtssprache hat manche Unwörter hervorgebracht.

2. <Pl. Unwörter od. -e> schlimmes, unangebrachtes Wort (1 b): das U. des Jahres.

© Duden - Deutsches Universalwörterbuch, 5. Aufl. Mannheim 2003 [CD-ROM].

bisognerebbe capire a quale delle due accezioni (parola incomprensibile o sbagliata / parola che offende o travisa i fatti) corrisponde il tuo testo

"improprio" almeno comprende entrambi i significati (impreciso e inopportuno)
