Usage Note

Inconveniente as a noun means a drawback, snag, or obstacle (el único inconveniente es el precio). As an adjective it means 'inconvenient' or 'inappropriate'. The phrase no hay inconveniente ('there is no problem / objection') is a polite way to agree to something. Do not confuse with the English 'inconvenient', which is an adjective; in Spanish the noun use is far more common.

Examples

"El único inconveniente es el precio."

Natural Translation
