Would this word also be used in a more figurative way as well? As in e.g.:

' My/ Our little corner of the world'?

' The corner of the page (as in of a website or book)' ?

Is there a difference with the use of 'esquina'?

How about a 'corner' in soccer by the way? (I am feeling confident Bob will know this.. )

Rule of thumb: rincón is internal, esquina is external.

Why? rincón has more meanings than only the one the machine(that is the classic one) showed:

2. m. Escondrijo o lugar retirado.
3. m. Espacio pequeño. Cada aldeano posee un rincón de tierra.
5. m. coloq. Domicilio o habitación particular de alguien.

Obviously, they are related to the word, "corner" - "small space".

hi crotalito - readily understood, but something like "there's a place in my heart for you." would be more natural.

how long have you studied english? - i see it getting better.

Hola Crotalito,

A few corrections. It is 'one and a half years' ('un año y medio')

Looking at his editing text, I guess Beaudoin probably meant that he put his comment, formerly posted in this topic, in a thread in the vocabulary forum instead.

Ohhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I get it. Weird - I was thinking that it sounded like a moderator's comment that some part of the conversation was moved to the vocabulary forum. But I can't imagine a moderator with so few posts ... and besides, we're already IN the vocabulary forum. I GET IT NOW!! (Thanks, Laura!!)

Haha.. yes it seems we had the same train of thought about this because I was thinking the exact same thing until I saw the editing text..

¡De nada, Lou Ann!
