Usage Note

Conveniente is a classic false friend: it rarely means 'convenient' in the English sense of 'handy/nearby'. It most often means 'good value', 'affordable', or 'worthwhile' — un prezzo conveniente ('a good price'). For 'convenient' in the English sense, Italians use comodo or pratico.

Examples

"Questo appartamento ha un prezzo conveniente."

Natural Translation

This apartment has an affordable price.
