Usage Note

Explícito means stated openly and in full detail, as opposed to implícito (implied). A contenido explícito content warning signals adult or graphic material. Learners should note the accent on the second syllable (esdrújula) — mispronouncing it as explicíto is a common error. The adverb is explícitamente.

Examples

"Las instrucciones son muy explícitas."

Natural Translation
