(In some contexts, 'sensible' in Spanish refers to being emotionally aware or responsive, which does not have a direct equivalent in English.)
The Spanish adjective 'sensible' is a common false friend with the English word 'sensible'. In Spanish, it primarily means sensitive – easily affected emotionally, physically, or perceptively. It can refer to a person who is sensitive to criticism, or skin that is sensitive to the sun. Less commonly, but still valid, 'sensible' can also mean having good judgment, being practical, or reasonable, similar to the English 'sensible'.
