A person who is easily affected emotionally or physically, or who has a heightened awareness or responsiveness to subtle influences. While the Spanish word `sensible` can be used to describe a person who is emotionally sensitive, its primary meaning in Spanish often refers to someone who is 'sensible' or 'reasonable'. Therefore, using `un sensible` as a direct noun equivalent for 'a sensitive person' in English can be misleading or unclear, and it's generally more precise to say `una persona sensible` or `una persona delicada` to convey the intended meaning of an emotionally or physically delicate individual.

• Don't be such a sensitive; it was just a joke! — This implies someone who is easily offended or upset.
• As a sensitive, she could often feel the moods of others around her without them saying a word. — This refers to someone with heightened emotional or intuitive perception.
