comité

committee

noun koh-mee-TEH Less Common
People & Society Community

Origin: From French comité, from English committee.

Usage Note

Comité ends in a stressed -é, so it carries a written accent, and its plural is comités. The word is masculine and keeps its accent in all forms. It often appears in institutional names: comité de empresa (works council), comité olímpico. The RAE accepts it as fully naturalised, unlike meeting or other unadapted borrowings.

Examples

"El comité aprobó el nuevo proyecto."

Natural Translation

The committee approved the new project.
