adjective proh-beh-CHOH-soh Rare

Also means

profitable

Usage Note

Provechoso shares its root with provecho (benefit, profit) and is the adjective most naturally used to say something yields a useful return — una reunión provechosa (a productive meeting). It sits between the everyday útil (useful) and the more formal beneficioso. The common farewell ¡Buen provecho! ('enjoy your meal') shows the noun in action; provechoso carries that same sense of tangible gain.

"El curso fue muy provechoso para todos."

Natural Translation

The course was very beneficial for everyone.
