Cutre.

Shabby, cheap.

Describes something of poor quality, tacky, or poorly made.

🌍

문화적 배경

In Spain, 'cutre' is ubiquitous. There is even a concept of 'cutre-bar' which some people find charmingly authentic. Mexicans rarely use 'cutre'. They prefer 'chafa' for objects and 'naco' for people/style (though 'naco' is more offensive). In Argentina, 'berreta' is the go-to word for low quality, while 'grasa' is used for tacky style. While 'cutre' is understood due to Spanish media, it marks the speaker as being from Spain or influenced by Spanish TV.

🎯

Use it for 'Stingy'

In Spain, calling someone 'un cutre' is a very common way to criticize them for not paying their share.

Gender Neutral

No es una palabrota, pero es muy informal y puede ser ofensiva si se usa para describir algo personal de alguien.

Solo si estás escribiendo un diálogo informal o una carta a un amigo. En un ensayo, usa 'de mala calidad'.

'Feo' es estético (ugly). 'Cutre' es sobre la calidad o el esfuerzo (tacky/cheap).
