Usage Note

Imperturbable is a formal, literary adjective; in everyday speech speakers prefer tranquilo or sereno. It is invariable for gender — ella es imperturbable, él es imperturbable — and takes regular plural imperturbables. It describes a deeply stable temperament rather than a passing calm, and is often used in journalistic or literary contexts.

Examples

"El piloto permaneció imperturbable durante la tormenta."

Natural Translation

The pilot remained unflappable during the storm.
