Cultural Note
Major false friend alert: 'sensible' in Spanish means 'sensitive,' NOT 'sensible' in English (which would be 'sensato'). Being called 'sensible' in Spanish is generally positive — it implies emotional depth and empathy. In a culture that values emotional expression, sensitivity is seen as a strength, especially in close relationships.
