You might choose 'ურიგულება' when discussing a social faux pas rather than a simple mistake.

The concept of inappropriateness is often tied to communal harmony, where behaviors are expected to align with collective values. Interestingly, the word can also surface in discussions about art, such as when critiquing a performance that lacks decorum or sensitivity.
