filthy

German
Persian
Russian
Spanish

An unpleasant and dirty place or thing is described as filthy.

The word 'filthy' is often used to describe messy situations or things that people find disgusting. Imagine walking into a room with trash scattered all over the floor, dirty dishes piled up in the sink, and mold growing on the walls - it would be a very filthy space. People might also call someone who's acting recklessly or disrespectfully 'filthy', like if they're being incredibly rude at a dinner party. In this case, the word isn't just about dirt and mess, but about how someone's behavior is unacceptable.
