to be cheeky

The French word 'impertinent' is used to describe someone who is boldly disrespectful or brash, often in a playful or teasing manner. It can pertain to behavior that is audaciously rude or sassy, much like the English term 'cheeky'. In French conversations, referring to someone as 'impertinent' can indicate a mix of annoyance and amusement at their forwardness.
