How to Say "unbelievable" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “unbelievable” is “increíble” — A2 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples
La vista desde la montaña es increíble.
The view from the mountain is incredible.
¡Tuvimos unas vacaciones increíbles!
We had an incredible vacation!
Es increíble que todavía no hayan llegado.
It's unbelievable that they haven't arrived yet.
One Form for Masculine & Feminine
'Increíble' is a handy describing word because it stays the same for both masculine and feminine things. It's 'el coche increíble' (the incredible car) and 'la casa increíble' (the incredible house).
Adding an 's' for Plural
When you're talking about more than one thing, just add an 's' to the end: 'los coches increíbles' (the incredible cars) or 'las casas increíbles' (the incredible houses).
Where to Place It
In Spanish, 'increíble' almost always comes after the thing it's describing. For example, you say 'una comida increíble' (an incredible meal). Putting it before sounds more poetic or adds extra emphasis.
Forgetting the Accent
Mistake: “Increible (without the accent on the 'i')”
Correction: Always write 'increíble'. That little accent mark is important—it tells you to put the stress on that part of the word when you say it: in-cre-Í-ble.
Mixing up 'Increíble' and 'Increíblemente'
Mistake: “'El coche es increíble rápido.'”
Correction: To describe an action or another describing word (like 'fast'), you need 'increíblemente'. The correct sentence is 'El coche es increíblemente rápido' (The car is incredibly fast).
