rendija

crack

noun rren-DEE-hah Rare

Also means

gap

Usage Note

Rendija denotes a narrow slit or crack, typically in a wall, door, or floor — wider than a mere scratch but narrower than a gap. It often appears in literary and colloquial descriptions of hiding, peeking, or light filtering through: mirar por una rendija (to peek through a crack). Do not confuse with grieta, which implies structural fracture.

Examples

"La luz entraba por la rendija de la puerta."

Natural Translation

Light came in through the crack in the door.
