A carpeta can hold papers physically or group digital files on a device.
The idea
The noun is feminine: una carpeta becomes varias carpetas in the plural.
Examples
- Los archivos están en la carpeta del proyecto.The files are in the project folder.
- Creé una carpeta para las fotos.I created a folder for the photos.
- Guarda los papeles en esta carpeta azul.Put the papers in this blue folder.
- Las carpetas están sobre el escritorio.The folders are on the desk.
- ¿Puedes compartir la carpeta con el equipo?Can you share the folder with the team?
- No borres la carpeta de documentos.Do not delete the documents folder.
