I know noria is the word, but some Spanish speakers I know do not know this word. In your experience is noria the common term?

Noria? It means this:


Where are you friends from?
I'm from Spain, and everybody knows the word.

A "noria" here is a waterwheel, which is rather associated with colonial and some rural water systems, so it's a word that we don't use much, as the object itself is rarely seen.

Yo conozco la noria como un pozo de agua que se saca con un balde amarrado a una cuerda.

Es verdad, también eso es una noria. Puedes encontrarlas en pozos o en centrales elécticas.
