analógico

analog

adjective ah-nah-LOH-hee-koh Rare
Communication Technology

Origin: From Greek analogikos, from analogia (proportion, analogy).

Also means

analogical

Usage Note

Analógico contrasts with digital in technology contexts — reloj analógico (analog watch), señal analógica (analog signal). In philosophy and linguistics it means 'relating to analogy'. Note the written accent on the antepenultimate syllable, which does not shift in the feminine analógica or plural analógicos.

Examples

"Prefiero un reloj analógico al digital."

Natural Translation

I prefer an analog watch to a digital one.
