How do you pronounce it?
/suˌθintaˈmente/
Did you know?
- To speak sucintamente is etymologically to speak as if one has 'girded' or 'tightened' their words around a subject to keep them from spreading out.
- While sucintamente describes brevity, Spanish has a different word, lacónico, to describe a person who is naturally brief or curt. Using sucinto for a person's personality can sound slightly unnatural compared to lacónico.
- In Spanish, when an adjective ends in a consonant, the adverb -mente is added to the feminine form. Since sucinto is the masculine form, it must change to sucinta before adding the suffix to create sucintamente.
