défraîchi v angličtině:

He lives in a dingy room.

They took people one at a time into dingy little rooms.

The stores seemed old and dingy, their lights too dim and their ceilings too low.

That night I dreamed of a square, three-story, concrete building that was dark, dingy and dusty.

Our hotel was dingy.

Don't touch my dress with your dingy fingers!
