Thank you, Sosia. I could not remember the word manilla. I was thinking it was manija or clavija.

I have learned some of the same words:
Blanket - manta (my friend said, "What are you trying to say"? ) Sink - fregadero (my friend says this is a wash board, not a sink) Bathroom sink - lavabo (This was a free-standing sink, not one with a counter top or double sink. Can I use this word to mean both?) What about stove and refrigerator? I've learned: Stove - Cocina (showed a stove in a home) Oven - Horna (showed a large brick oven used in a pizzeria) Refrigerator - Frigorífico (my Mexican friends don't like this word) Thanks!

Brenda,
Your Mexican friends will prefer nevera over frigorífigo which sounds kind of industrial. Some older people from the Caribbean will use frigidaire for refrigerator. I use estufa for stove and horno for oven. |

Bathroom sink - lavabo/lavamanos (I usually use lavabo) ¿¿not one with a counter top or double sink?? photo?? stove: estufa (for warming) horno (for cooking) oven: horno refrigerator: frigorífico/nevera/refrigerador I remember: This is the common usage in Spain. Other countries/regions can use other words. And some words can have different meanings with other words. For example: I can say "cámara frigorífica" (cold-storage room) or "cámara refrigeradora" but no "cámara nevera". saludos Last edited by sosia; January 22, 2008 at 01:43 PM. |

Sorry for mixing you up, Poli
with Sosia. I have heard manija for a door handle (knob that isn't round).

Hola. Por aquí a ''mop'' le llamamos ''palo de trapear'' o ''trapeador''.
Saludos. |
