Origin: From Greek geographikos, via Latin geographicus.

Usage Note

Geográfico is the standard adjective for anything relating to geography (posición geográfica, accidente geográfico = 'geographical feature'). It follows the noun in most collocations. The stress falls on the antepenultimate syllable (geo-GRÁ-fi-co), a common source of mispronunciation.

Examples

"La posición geográfica del país favorece el comercio."

Natural Translation

The country's geographical position favours trade.
