asumible

acceptable

adjective ah-soo-MEE-bleh Rare

Also means

manageable

Usage Note

Asumible describes something that can be accepted, borne, or taken on — it derives from asumir ('to assume', 'to accept'). It is especially common in economic and political discourse: un coste asumible ('an acceptable cost'), una carga asumible ('a manageable burden'). It is not a false friend — it does not mean 'assumable' in the English legal sense of a mortgage being transferred; use transferible for that.

Examples

"El precio es asumible para la mayoría de las familias."

Natural Translation

The price is acceptable for most families.
