Japanese Language
「Particles」

「Kuse ni くせに」
1."Despite the fact that, though."
NOTE: This usage is similar to that of no ni, but there is an added feeling of censure or contempt.

Examples:
子供のくせに、大人の話に口を出してはいけません。
Kodomo no kuse ni, otona no hanashi ni kuchi o dashite wa ikemasen.
Children shouldn't interrupt when grown-ups are talking.
「Lit., Despite the fact [or considering the fact] you are a [mere] child, you are not to butt in on grown-up's talk [the way you are doing].」

あの人は能力もないくせに、地位だけは欲しがっている。
Ano hito wa nōryoku mo nai kuse ni, chii dake wa hoshigatte iru.
​Despite the fact that he has no ability, all he wants is status.

2. Used at the end of a sentence to express censure or contempt.

Example:
あなただってできないくせに...
Anata datte dekinai kuse ni...
As if you could do it yourself.
「Lit., Despite the fact that even you couldn't do it [you are trying to tell me how to].」

自分でもわからないくせに...
Jibun de mo wakaranai kuse ni...
As if you understood.
「Lit., Despite the fact that even you don't understand [you presume to give advice to others].」

Hope this helps!
