bajista

bassist

noun adjective bah-HEES-tah Rare

Also means

bearish (finance)

Usage Note

Bajista has two distinct domains: in music it is the bass player (el bajista de la banda), and in finance it describes a bearish trend or the investor who bets on falling prices (mercado bajista = bear market). The word is común in gender — el/la bajista — so the article signals the sex of a musician.

Examples

"El bajista tocó un solo brillante."

Natural Translation

The bassist played a brilliant solo.
