prometedor

promising

adjective proh-meh-teh-DOHR Rare

Usage Note

Prometedor agrees in gender: una actriz prometedora, un jugador prometedor. It describes potential not yet fulfilled, so pairing it with joven (young) is natural but not obligatory. Do not confuse with prometido (engaged/fiancé), which shares the root but carries a very different meaning.

Examples

"Es un artista joven y prometedor."

Natural Translation

He is a young and promising artist.
