Etymology[edit]
oförskämd + -het, like German Unverschämtheit
Noun[edit]
oförskämdhet c
- being rudely disrespectful; rudeness, impertinence
- Din oförskämdhet känner inga gränser
- Your rudeness knows no limits
- an instance of the above; a rudely disrespectful utterance or expression, an impertinence

Usage notes[edit]
Except for oförskämdhet being a more well-known and less literary word, impertinence is a good match for the meaning.
