On what occasions would you use "uncouth"?
I am not sure.
please give me example sentence with explanations.
do you sometimes use it?
thanks in advance
 
I never used it and according to my Oxford Dictionary is "of a person, manners, appearance,etc lacking in ease and polish; uncultured, rough. Old english"

So maybe you can use it to describe the behaviour of somebody, like : What an uncouth person that boy is.
or That group of people across the road look so uncouth.

Hope it helps!
Cheers!
 
You could describe the boy's behavior as uncouth when he was talking to the girl while obviously looking her up and down.

Uncouth means to not be subtle about an action.
