To evaluate the expression \( \sqrt{19} - 32 \), we need to analyze the components:

  1. \( \sqrt{19} \) is an irrational number because 19 is not a perfect square.
  2. Subtracting 32 (an integer) from an irrational number results in an irrational number.

Since the result involves an irrational number and an integer, the overall type remains irrational.

Thus, the answer is an irrational number.
