Usage Note

Discutible means open to question or dispute, and is often used to politely signal disagreement — es discutible si eso es cierto ('it is debatable whether that is true'). Unlike the English false friend 'discussable', it carries a sense of doubt rather than mere openness. It is invariable for gender.

Examples

"Su decisión es, cuanto menos, discutible."

Natural Translation

His decision is, at the very least, debatable.
