Question

How do you say "the gate is up"? in Spanish

Answer 1

This needs a bit more context....in rural mexico we usually just use 'puerta' unless your talking about a specific gate or as someone suggested, a garage door.

I put a wooden gate up at night in my home to keep my dog in one place. so "La puerta esta elevada" is correct? - paullewis, Aug 7, 2011

Are you saying "up" as in you put a wooden gate "in place" (not is a raised position). put up=erected? - 0074b507, Aug 7, 2011

Answer 2

Welcome to the forum!

When you say "the gate is up", are you referring to the automatic arm that controls the passage of vehicles through a space or into/out of a parking area?

In that case, a common word for the "arm" is "aguja".

Hola! I am not a native speaker, but this is what I would say:

La verja está elevada.

Or how about....La verja ha subido.
