粗野 vs 粗暴... 粗野 has more strict meaning, right? I just guess. My way of thinking is like that: 粗 by itself means "rude" in any case. And which tail to choose is up to me, but in 粗野 "野" means Wolf, and in 粗暴 "暴" means Violent, and I guess Wolf is more agressive then just Violent, so if I want to say that somebody is really rude just like some monster, I'd better use 粗野, right? And also one question, can I say for example.. hmm. "他粗野死了" or it's better just to say "他真粗野了"

One of the original meanings of 粗 is "careless". 野 here means "uncultured". 粗野 isn't an appropriate word to express "physically violent". If someone acted inhumanly, here's a vivid word for you to express "rude like a monster": 禽兽不如. Literally translating: worse than a monster. 你怎么可以那样做? 你真是禽兽不如! How could you do that! Even a monster is kinder than you! 粗野 can be used to describe the careless way someone does things. For example: The way you play basketball is too rough. 你打球的方式太粗野了. / 你打球太粗野了. / 你球打得太粗野了(orally)! 我讨厌粗野/粗鲁的男孩子. I hate rough/rude boys! 粗暴 is an average word to mean rude and violent. "他粗野死了" is fine. For examples: "他讨厌死了!" "我恨死他了!" "这个味儿臭死了!" "他真粗野了" is incorrect. The correct form is 他真粗野! or 他很粗野. Another word "粗鲁". 粗鲁 means impolite, rude or rough. For example: It's so rude of you to talk to me like this! 你这样子跟我说话真是太粗鲁了!You can also say: 他打球很粗鲁。 Hope it helps :)

Hi , Ghooprn . Actually 粗野(cu1 ye3 ) doesn't be used that much , which means we never use it even though it exists . And 野蛮(ye3 man2) which means rude like a wild animal would be better. So if you want to say that somebody is really rude just like a monster, I'd better use 野蛮. 粗暴(cu1 bao4) means rude , too . In a human way , describe the rude attitude of people ,sometimes means kind of like hardcore . So you'd better use it carefully . And the second question , replaced 粗野 to 野蛮 , 他野蛮死了 means He's so damn rude , and 他真野蛮 means He's so rude .

"野"means "wild" and if u want to say somebody is really rude u can say"他(她)好粗魯"or"粗鄙" for example"你好粗魯喔! 竟然動手打了他"
