Usage Note
Plus is a masculine noun in Spanish despite ending in a consonant, used for an extra payment or allowance added to a base wage — plus de nocturnidad (night-shift supplement). It is also used informally as an adjective meaning 'extra' or 'superior,' borrowed from English/Latin. Do not confuse with the preposition más (more); plus specifically implies an added benefit in a formal or contractual context.
Examples
