líquido

liquid

noun LEE-kwee-doh Less Common

Usage Note

Líquido functions as both noun and adjective: un líquido espeso (a thick liquid), activos líquidos (liquid assets). In finance, líquido means 'net' or 'disposable' (after deductions): sueldo líquido (take-home pay). Note the written accent on the first i, which marks the stress on the antepenultimate syllable — a common pattern for -ido words.
