What is the difference between Vulgar and Crude ?Feel free to just provide example sentences.
- English (US)
- English (UK)
When describing people or behaviour, "crude" and "vulgar" mean the same thing.
However, "crude" can also mean "simple" when you are describing made or built objects. This use has a slightly negative connotation. Example:
"The crudely made clay pot."
"The crudely built shed."
You cannot use "vulgar" in this way. For example, you cannot say: "the vulgarly built shed." This is wrong.
