Apertura = opening.
Aperture es un tipo de opening. Se usa en inglés pero es una palabra muy
técnica. Se usa en lentes de cámeras y en asuntos médicos. Opening
es mucho más común y aperture no se usa en charla típica.

But Opening is not used when a super market open itself doors to the public.

There in that sentences is used opening in.

When a store opens its doors to the public for the first time, that is called an opening. Often the advertisers will use the words Grand Opening to announce the event.
Thereafter, the store is either open (for business) or closed (for business).
If the store closes permanently, that is called a closing. We say it is going out of business.

Wait a minute.............

Apertura = Opening (of a business)

Abertura = opening as in a crack or an opening creating a space.....

Two separate words, similar in spelling and meaning but not interchangeable.


Am I in error here?

I don't know, according to the Rusty's answer the words are same in the spelling and meaning the same but does not used of the same way. As you could see there in the examples gave for the users.

The words are used in different situations.

I believe that they are merely usages of each region.

We were discussing apertura, not abertura. But, as you pointed out, one of the meanings for both of the words is opening. And, just as apertura and abertura can't be interchanged, neither can the contrasting meanings in English. We may use the same word for the opening of a business and the opening in rock, but we know by context which meaning is intended.

Rusty. I thought that the word Abertura is other thing.

Abertuda does not the same than Apertura. You are agree with it or not?
