grieta
/ˈɡɾjeta/ · B2 · noun · f
crack
🧱 grieta sounds like 'greeta' — a greeter who's split open: a crack in the wall
Say 'gree-eh-ta': the 'ee' is a thin, narrow vowel, like the narrow gap of a crack. Linking the thin 'gri' sound to a thin gap helps it stick. Also used for chapped, split skin: grieta en la piel.
