mueble

piece of furniture

noun MWEH-bleh Rare

Origin: from Latin mobilis, 'movable'

Usage Note

Mueble is a single piece of furniture; the collective los muebles means 'the furniture' (uncountable in English). The adjective inmueble flips the meaning entirely — it means 'real estate' or 'property' (that which cannot be moved). A furniture shop is a mueblería in Latin America or a tienda de muebles in Spain.

Examples

"Compramos un mueble nuevo para el salón."

Natural Translation

We bought a new piece of furniture for the living room.
