Gate

Gate
 
English to Spanish:

How would you say "gate" as in a gate on a fence?

If you could use it in a sentence that would be great.

Such as " Don't forget to close the gate when you leave!"

Portón, is the word you're looking for.

Bueno, "portón' - he oído "barrera"...

For me, it "portón" or "puerta" should be clear enough.
I've seen that the DRAE has "barrera" as some sort of synonym for "compuerta", but I have never heard it used that way. :thinking:

Here "verja". :)

I've heard Verja used to say "Protect" so I can see how gate and protect closely relate. Thanks! :)

"Verja" can be used for a window and for a gate, although for a window it is more common "reja". :)

En Chile también se usa "verja".

¿Entiendes lo de portón como verja o es un término nuevo?
