Also means

bimonthly

Usage Note

Bimensual is ambiguous in practice: it can mean 'occurring twice a month' or 'occurring every two months', mirroring the English 'bimonthly' ambiguity. To avoid confusion, speakers often prefer quincenal ('fortnightly') or bimestral ('every two months'). The adjective does not change for gender; its plural is bimensuales.

Examples

"La revista tiene una publicación bimensual."
