Frosted windows are translucent, lower quality gemstones like quartz are often translucent, and many things that are very thin are translucent. The leaves in the picture are translucent. Where they overlap, they are opaque.

If you can see through something but it changes the color of everything you see, that something is still transparent but it is tinted. Filter lenses for cameras are often tinted. The glasswing butterfly in the picture has transparent wings. The opposite of transparent is opaque. Something that lets light through but you can't easily see through it is translucent.
