adjunto abajo
/adxunto abaxo/from spelling rules
The English phrase "attached below" is translated to Spanish as adjunto abajo.
This phrase is used in emails or letters to indicate that a file or document is included at the end of the message. In many professional Spanish emails it is more common and natural to simply say adjunto (attached) or se adjunta (is attached) rather than specifying abajo (below).
How does it change in a sentence?
The word adjunto must agree in gender and number with the noun it describes. Use adjunta if the attached item is a feminine noun, such as la factura. If there are multiple items, use adjuntos abajo for masculine or mixed-gender items and adjuntas abajo for multiple feminine items.
Did you know?
- The word abajo is a cognate of the French phrase à bas, which is used to shout 'down with' a particular leader or government during protests.
- In some Spanish-speaking professional contexts, the term adjunto is used as a job title to describe a deputy or a high-level assistant, such as an adjunto al director.
- While abajo means 'below', using it in an email can sometimes sound as if the document is physically located in a lower room or downstairs, rather than just further down the page.
