Usage Note

Consigna has two quite different meanings learners need to distinguish: a political or organizational slogan/directive (la consigna del partido), and a luggage deposit or locker at a station or airport (dejar las maletas en la consigna). The verb consignar means 'to record, to consign, to remit funds'.

Examples

"La consigna del movimiento era muy clara."
