Answer 1

Ella es una persona conveniente = She is a person who likes using other people for her own plans and purposes. (She would only talk to you if she needs you).

Esta persona te conviene = This person is useful for you.

So, instead of getting problems, she is the problem... vise versa of what I said. Grrr, i've fell for this type before. =\ - DJ_Huero, Jun 10, 2011

Answer 2

Deleted. (I have no idea why I thought this was a case of someone asking for help, as opposed to being an exercise for Spanish-learners. Sorry about that.)

Answer 3

Does it mean to be a helpful or useful person? Can this be used to identify a person looking out for themselves? Good question .I'll be checking back.

Answer 4

She is too flirty

Ella es demasiado coqueta

Answer 5

It means, she's convenient. Like, you use her when it's convenient... she's your plan B. This is a very terrible way to treat a lady if I may mention.

Answer 6

To be an agreeable and easy-to-talk-to person ?

Answer 7

It could that she is a very accommodating person who goes out of her way to fit in with the plans of others

I could be wrong/way off beam but I think that this word: Conveniente could be what is commonly referred to as a false friend ie a word that suggests a similar word in Spanish but is totally unrelated.

Answer 8

It could mean:

To be a decent person.

Answer 9

A suitable person for a certain task, I guess?

Answer 10

To be a helpful, reliable person?
