Azotea
 

This is a discussion thread for the Daily Spanish Word for September 13, 2009

azotea (feminine noun (la)) — roof, flat roof, terrace roof. Look up azotea in the dictionary

Me voy a subir a la azotea para ver las estrellas.
I'm going up on the roof to watch the stars.

In some buildings, especially in the past people used to go up to the roof to hang the clothes out to dry.

In some places, "terraza" is used instead of "azotea".

Por aquí, una terraza está al nivel del piso donde se vive, no en el techo. :thinking:

Aquí decimos rufo:lol:(en serio), pero tambien se entiende azotea y techo.

I didn't get the e-mail for this word. Did the rest of you?

I'm got up to the roof for watch the city better.

Or, you might want to say "I went up to the roof to get a better view of the city."

I have a question in English doesn't exist the word subi a la azotea?

For that reason, I wrote got up guessing that it was well written.

But your suggestion is better than my one.

"Subir" es "to go up"; el pretérito indefinido de "go" es "went".
