horn
Significado
cuerno, trompeta, bocina, cuerno de aviso
La palabra "horn" en inglés puede referirse a varios objetos según el contexto. Puede significar un cuerno, como el de un animal, que es una estructura dura y puntiaguda que crece en la cabeza de ciertos mamíferos. También se utiliza para describir instrumentos musicales de viento, como la trompeta o el corno francés, y dispositivos de aviso sonoro, como la bocina de un automóvil, que emiten un sonido fuerte para alertar o llamar la atención.
💡 The term "horn" can be easily confused with "antler," which specifically refers to the branched, bony structures found on the heads of male deer and is shed annually, whereas horns are permanent and typically unbranched.
