Spanish term

indiscutible

Non-PRO Spanish to English Other General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
Buen domingo!. Quisiera saber si alguien me puede sugerir una forma de decir "indiscutible" pero en el sentido de "no discutible". La frase es más o menos así: "En nuestra familia hay ciertos temas de los que no se puede hablar abiertamente (indiscutibles)". Yo pensé "(not for debate)", y ahí dejó de venirme alguna otra idea :-) Gracias anticipadas

undeniably; no ifs ands or buts

It is really functioning as an adverb in this case, even though writen as an adjective in English. In the Oxford it states "undeniable, indisputable" and a mroe informal way of saying i is "no ifs, ands or buts"
