pared

wall

noun pah-REHD Less Common

Usage Note

Pared specifically means an interior wall or the wall of a building — the surface you hang pictures on. For an exterior or free-standing wall (like a garden wall or city wall), Spanish uses muro. Pared is feminine despite ending in a consonant, which surprises many learners.

Examples

"Colgaron un cuadro en la pared del salón."

Natural Translation

They hung a painting on the living room wall.
