bare
Usage Note
Escueto describes something stripped of unnecessary elements — a response, an explanation, or a style that is brief to the point of being bare or even curt. It implies more deliberate economy than breve ('brief') and can shade into 'terse' or 'blunt' depending on tone. A learner might hear sé escueto as a directive meaning 'keep it short' or 'get to the point'.
Examples
