shameless
The German word "schamlos" is an adjective that translates to "shameless" or "brazen" in English. It is composed of "Scham," meaning "shame," and the suffix "-los," which denotes the absence of something. Thus, "schamlos" describes a lack of shame, often in a bold or disrespectful way.
Similar words in German include "unverschämt" (impudent or cheeky) and "dreist" (brazen or bold).
The difference among these words is that "schamlos" specifically focuses on the absence of shame, while "unverschämt" and "dreist" emphasize a boldness or audacity that can be attributed to a presumption or disregard for social norms or expectations.
