What does punta mean from Spanish to English?

Question

My Spanish teacher told me to look up "punta" and see what it meant from Spanish to English. I can't find it anywhere else and IT'S DRIVING ME NUTS! please help.

Answer 1

No, punto is a general point, and punta is the tip (of a knife etc) and not the word that is "worse than the b word" and even that word has it's uses.

La punta aguda = the sharp tip (of a knife etc)
