It is rude may be referring to anything, for example: âIt is rude to stare.â, or âIt is rude to shoutâ. Thatâs rude is referring to a specific thing. Letâs say someone said something a little mean, you reply with âThatâs rudeâ rather than âIt is rudeâ.

Itâs rude only refers to things hypothetically or in concept. Thatâs rude can also refer to real incidents. You didnât return her call? Thatâs rude. Itâs rude not to return peopleâs calls.

Just to clarify, when someone asks me a question, should I use "it" as in "It's not rude in Japan."?
