endeble

adjective en-DEH-bleh Rare

Also means

flimsy

Usage Note

Endeble describes something or someone lacking strength, solidity, or conviction — a weak argument, a frail structure, or a feeble person. Unlike débil, which focuses on physical or moral weakness, endeble often implies structural inadequacy or lack of substance. It is invariable in gender (same form for m and f): un argumento endeble, una excusa endeble.

Examples

"Sus razones eran endebles y poco convincentes."

Natural Translation

His reasons were weak and unconvincing.
