Also means
savanna
Usage Note
Sábana (with accent on the first syllable) means 'bed sheet', while sabana (no accent, stress on the second syllable) means 'savanna/grassland' — a classic minimal pair in Spanish. The accent is therefore essential in writing. Sábana is feminine: una sábana limpia.
Examples
"Cambié la sábana del dormitorio."
Natural Translation
I changed the bedroom sheet.
