lots of things are disputable in Spanish such as when to use the subjunctive lol hehehehe Seriously it would be better to phrase your question in this way: How do you say disputable in Spanish? Or What is the correct word for disputable in Spanish? - FELIZ77, Jan 30, 2012

Hello and welcome to the Spanish Dict forum, Leomessi

You do not have to be an expert to know such things lol because there is an excellent online dictionary which I would recommend you use for looking up single words in future. I will help you on this occasion. Here is the link you can use to find the dictionary and use it for future occasions. The tab is located next to the translation tab above for easy access link text

Controversial = Controvertido/pólemico

disputable = discutible

The word/s you would use to translate your chosen word/phrase invariably depends upon the context. You need to take this into account when looking for a suitable translation and look at the way the word is used in examples given in any dictionary.

Verbs in online dictionaries, will be usually presented with the specific alternative meanings written in brackets

eg: Dispute vt (transitive verb) A1 (contest) discutir, cuestionar followed by examples

2 Impugnar 3 (argue) ,point/subject/question> debatir, discutir.

etc...

I hope this helps
