coarse
Usage Note
Burdo describes something rough, coarse, or lacking in refinement — a burdo error (a clumsy mistake), tela burda (coarse cloth). It is a false friend trap for English speakers: it does not relate to 'burden'. In figurative use it carries a clear note of contempt: una burda mentira is a blatant, transparent lie.
Examples
"Fue una burda imitación del original."
