This week’s Spanish word of the week is cuadro.
Cuadro is a noun that means painting; picture; table, chart and you can find out how to pronounce it here:
function playAudio(url) { new Audio(url).play(); }
Cuadro means both a painting, as in:
un cuadro de Goya a painting by Goya
¿Quién pintó ese cuadro? Who did that painting?
and also any kind of picture, either a reproduction or an original:
He colgado el cuadro en mi habitación. I’ve hung the picture in my room.
It can also mean a chart or table with figures, as in:
El siguiente cuadro da una idea de la evolución de la industria. The following chart suggests how the industry developed.
…las cifras del cuadro 3.3 …the figures in table 3.3.
