asiático

/aˈsjatiko/ · B2 · adj

Asian

🌏🥢 asiático = Asia + -tico, the Spanish cousin of English Asiatic

Spanish forms adjectives with -ico, as in Asia → asiático, África → africano (a different suffix), and Atlántico. The stress falls on the -SIA- syllable, so the written accent goes on the a after it: a-SIÁ-ti-co.
