adjective NEH-oo-troh Rare

Origin: Latin neuter (neither of two)

Also means

neuter

Usage Note

Neutro covers several meanings: politically neutral (un país neutro), grammatically neuter (el género neutro), and chemically neutral (pH 7). The grammatical sense is especially useful for learners because Spanish has a neuter pronoun ello and neuter demonstratives esto, eso, aquello, even though nouns are only masculine or feminine.

Examples

"El árbitro intentó mantenerse neutro."

Natural Translation

The referee tried to stay neutral.
