Also means

boundary

Usage Note

Límite covers both a physical boundary (el límite del parque) and an abstract cap (límite de velocidad, speed limit). Note the written accent on the first syllable — it is esdrújula (stress on the antepenultimate). The plural límites keeps the accent, making it a noteworthy accent-retention case.

Examples

"No hay límite para la imaginación."

Natural Translation

There is no limit to the imagination.
