Ineptitude is the lack of ability to do something, and stupidity is a behavior or action that shows poor judgement/sense.The first is more formal.
Example:
The man in the wheelchair is eptitudable to swimming unless he stands.
The child displayed stupidity when they jumped off their bunk bed despite knowing they could get hurt.
Hope this helps.

Stupidity means a lack of intelligence.
Ineptitude means a lack of skill.
"This plumber is stupid. I asked him to fix my bathtub and he asked 'What's a bathtub?'."
"This plumber is inept. He tried to fix the bathtub 4 times, but it is still leaking."

@solncepek ineptitude is a very uncommon word so we don’t use it ever unless you’re smart

@l4N oh, okay... 🤔
then... can you help me with the correct way to say the phrase, that I saw in my local dictionary? (or is it possible to say so?)
"he lived no day of his life without saying a pretentious ineptitude"

@solncepek dictionary sentences are very uncommon words like “pretentious” and “ineptitude” are never used and common people might not even know what it means. I would just say don’t worry about sentences like that because if you asked someone what ineptitude means they probably won’t know

@l4N woow, okay, I understand you!! then my problem with this, I'm sorry, nonsense is solved!! thank you so much! ✨

@solncepek if you end up becoming super fluent and want to be able to talk about more difficult topics and studies then you can worry about this stuff later on but for now it’s not important. Feel free to message me if u ever have any questions anytime 👍

I think you're right. I'm constantly trying to understand some really deep things in the language... So, I just studying some words, but in fact these words never become necessary to me (':
I miss everything I need and I feel like a bad-translate machine (?).
btw, you're so kind and helpful, thank you for that! I want to wish you a good day, evening, or whatever else you have right now!!! ☀️☀️☀️
