Usage Note

Pronunciado most often functions as an adjective meaning marked or pronounced — a steep slope, a strong accent, a noticeable difference. Una curva pronunciada is a sharp bend in a road. It is the past participle of pronunciar (to pronounce/to deliver a speech), so it also appears in compound tenses. The feminine form is pronunciada.

Examples

"La cuesta tiene una pendiente muy pronunciada."

Natural Translation

The slope has a very steep gradient.
