Usage Note

Inhumano describes actions, conditions, or treatment so cruel or harsh they seem beyond human decency. The h in humano is silent, so the prefix in- runs directly into the vowel: inhumano sounds like een-oo-MAH-noh. The adverb is inhumanamente and the noun inhumanidad.

Examples

"Las condiciones de trabajo eran completamente inhumanas."

Natural Translation

The working conditions were completely inhuman.
