dibujo técnico is the Spanish way to say technical drawing.
The term is used to describe a depiction or technical drawing. In professional or academic settings, you may encounter more specialized variations such as Dibujo Técnico Industrial, which emphasizes industrial applications or Representación Gráfica Técnica, which is a formal expression common in educational contexts. You can also use Dibujo Técnico Detallado to refer to a more specific, detailed technical drawing.
Meaning: depiction (noun)
What does it mean word for word?
The phrase is composed of dibujo (drawing) and técnico (technical).
How does it change in a sentence?
To make the phrase plural, both the noun and the adjective must take the plural suffix -s, resulting in dibujos técnicos.
What mistakes should you avoid?
Since dibujo is a masculine noun, do not use the feminine article la. You must use the masculine article el to say 'the technical drawing' correctly.
