Usage Note

Consecuente describes someone or something that is logically consistent or acts in accordance with stated principles — a near false friend of English 'consequent' (which translates as consiguiente). The phrase ser consecuente con uno mismo means 'to be true to oneself.' It does not mean 'consequently,' which is por consiguiente or en consecuencia.

Examples

"Fue consecuente con sus principios."

Natural Translation

She was consistent with her principles.
