When something is impertinent, it means it's not relevant or doesn't belong in a specific conversation or situation. Think of it as something that's beside the point. For example, if you're discussing a serious topic, and someone makes a joke that doesn't fit, that joke could be considered impertinent. It's often used to describe comments or questions that are inappropriate because they don't relate to the main subject. So, if something is impertinent, it just doesn't make sense in that context.
