conveniente

convenient

adjective kohn-beh-NYEN-teh Less Common

Also means

advisable

Usage Note

Conveniente is a mild false friend: it means 'suitable,' 'advisable,' or 'convenient,' but in Spanish it often carries a sense of what is wise or recommended rather than just logistically easy. Es conveniente + infinitive is a common construction meaning 'it is advisable to.' Do not confuse it with convenido ('agreed upon').

Examples

"Es conveniente llegar con tiempo."

Natural Translation

It is advisable to arrive with time to spare.
