When you're describing something that's easy to see or hear, or a picture that isn't blurry, you can use the word nítido. It means 'clear' or 'sharp' in English. For example, if a photo isn't blurry, it's nítido. If a sound is very easy to understand, it's also nítido. Think of it as the opposite of something vague or fuzzy.
When something is nítido, it means it's very clear and easy to see or hear. Think of a high-definition photo or a sound without any static. You can use it to describe images, sounds, or even ideas that are sharply defined and not blurry or vague. It's a useful word when you want to emphasize clarity in what you're perceiving or communicating. If something is not clear, you could say it's 'não nítido' or use words like 'embaçado' (blurry) or 'indistinto' (indistinct).
