available
Usage Note
Libre conveys both freedom (un país libre) and availability/vacancy (¿Está libre este asiento?). It is distinct from gratis, which means 'free of charge' — libre never means 'at no cost'. The phrase tiempo libre means 'free time' and de libre acceso means 'open access'.
Examples
"Tienes el fin de semana libre."
Natural Translation
