unfreundliches

Unfreundliches is the attributive neuter singular form of the German adjective unfreundlich, meaning not friendly or unfriendly. It is used to describe a neuter noun in nominative or accusative case when there is no definite article, or when a possessive or indefinite determiner is present; with the definite article the form is unfreundliche, as in das unfreundlicheAuto. Examples include unfreundliches Verhalten (unfriendly behavior), das unfreundliche Verhalten (the unfriendly behavior), ein unfreundliches Auto (an unfriendly car), or mein unfreundliches Auto (my unfriendly car). The form results from the standard German adjective inflection: in neuter singular, the ending -es appears after no article or after indefinite/possessive determiners, while -e appears after the definite article.

The word is built from the negating prefix un- and the base adjective freundlich (friendly). Its meaning conveys a negative appraisal of demeanor, tone, or atmosphere and is commonly used in descriptive writing or reporting on interactions, services, or behavior. It is a neutral descriptive term rather than a strong insult, and its exact nuance depends on context and the noun it modifies. Related terms include unhöflich (rude) and kühl (cold), which can express related but distinct negative attitudes.
