Usage Note
Tajante describes a statement or person that is sharp, decisive, and brooking no argument—like the cut of a blade (taja = cut). Una respuesta tajante is an unequivocal answer. It is stronger than directo and closer to 'flat-out' or 'unequivocal' in English. The adverb is tajantemente.
Examples
"Su negativa fue tajante y sin explicaciones."
Natural Translation
His refusal was blunt and without explanation.
