How to use "Maladroit" in context?
To be clumsy or awkward is not a desirable quality in anyone. However, for some people, it is the defining characteristic of their personality. These people are known as maladroit. There is no one definition of maladroit, but it can generally describe people who are not naturally skilled at doing things. This can be due to a lack of practice or natural lack of coordination. Though it can be frustrating, maladroit behavior is often endearing. These people are often forgiven for their clumsiness, as most people understand that it is a part of who they are.
