Transparent materials allow you to see through them and they let in light... like water or a normal window
Translucent materials allow you to partially see through them (it would be distorted) and they allow light in... like etched glass, a foggy mirror, or mirky/dirty water.
Opaque materials do not allow light through them or you to see throught them... like a wooden door, clothes, or a cardboard box.

Translucent you can see through but not clearly; transparent you can see through clearly; Opaque you can't see anything through it

transparaent is when you can see through it
translucent is when you cant see through it but it lets light through (like bathroom windows)
Opaque is when you cant see and doesn't allow light through
