Gujarati term or phrase: Jungli
I think this means naughty or along those lines?
Goldenstat
English translation:savage, wild, feral, untamed,
Explanation:
Jungle means wild forest, and jungli or junglee is the Gujarati and Hindi adjective qualifying a state of being, as per the examples given above by another member, or behaviour as in your question.

In the sense you mean, it can refer to some one who is rough, ill mannered, uncivil, uncultured, uncouth... all the terms that can be applied to 'savage' or 'wild' behaviour not in keeping with the norms of civilized behaviour or social etiquette.

Hope this help

agree  Umang Dholabhai: Very detailed explanation. Very useful. Especially..feral , untamed and not civilized.

  -> Thank you. Also, the term you have used 'not - civilized' is more accurate than mere 'un - civil', which can mean just 'impolite' as an occasional or inadverdent act, while 'uncivilized' is more a state of being akin to 'jungli' thanks :)
