barn

Usage Note

Establo refers to a building where livestock, especially horses or cattle, are kept — closer to English 'stable' or 'barn' than the word granero (grain barn). Do not confuse with the adjective estable (stable, steady) — the two are spelled differently and unrelated in everyday usage.

Examples

"Los caballos pasan la noche en el establo."

Natural Translation

The horses spend the night in the stable.
