Shelf in dictionary
Hola a todos, I just registered because I have a question about the word shelf. There are several translations for it in the dictionary, http://www.tomisimo.org/dictionary/s..._english/shelf but I'm not clear on how to say what I want to say.
What I need to say is a shelf, like a bookshelf, but not for books, that has like five shelves on it and goes from floor to ceiling. THanks for your help.

Re: Shelf in dictionary
If it is to put things on it, it's a "estantería".

Re: Shelf in dictionary
Thanks atnbueno! Can you use "armario" too? Since I put up the first post, I found the word armario, and just wanted to ask if it's ok too. Gracias.

Re: Shelf in dictionary
No. "Armario" is mostly translated as "closet". It can be some other things in particular contexts, but never "shelf".

Re: Shelf in dictionary
I've often heard the work anaquel for shelf. Not sure if it's only used in Mexico or in other areas as well.

Wow. You're right. "Anaquel" is also valid for shelf, although I haven't heard it in use for a really long time.
