Usage Note
Bote is a notably polysemous word: a small boat (bote de remos — rowing boat), a tin or glass jar (bote de conservas — tin can), and in Spain colloquially the jackpot in a lottery (el bote del Euromillones). Context separates the senses clearly. Dar un bote means to jump or bounce.
Examples
"Cruzaron el lago en un pequeño bote."
