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
The instructions are very explicit.
