Spanish term

caleta

Spanish to English Art/Literary Linguistics language
Sombra se pone de pie, mira hacia el cuerpo, hace la señal de la cruz y besa su escapulario. Se oyen más pasos subiendo las escaleras con precaución. Sombra intenta huir por la ventana; ya en el borde oye gritos desde afuera y se devuelve. Se mete en una CALETA entre la pared y cierra. Fidel entra vestido de negro de pies a cabeza y con su arma humeante. Revisa el sitio. Mira con rabia por la ventana y se quita la máscara. Con profesionalismo revisa el cuarto. Golpea la pared con su arma buscando el sonido hueco de una CALETA. Justo cuando va a golpear en el escondite de Sombra, se tropieza con el pie, lo patea y descubre las cartas en el piso. Las recoge y suspende la búsqueda de la CALETA.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

stash, cache, hiding place

es un colombianismo y no tiene nada que ver con cove o small bay. Por lo general es el sitio donde una persona esconde droga (stash), pero en este contexto obviamente es un lugar lo suficientemente grande para esconder a una persona (hiding place).
