Usage Note

Agujero refers to a hole in a physical object — in clothing, a wall, or the ground. It differs from hoyo (a pit or hollow in the ground) and hueco (a hollow space or gap). The colloquial phrase agujero negro (black hole) is used both in astrophysics and figuratively for a financial drain.

Examples

"Hay un agujero grande en la pared."

Natural Translation

There is a big hole in the wall.
