Question

Does piedras mean rocks in spanish?

Answer 1

Yes

Answer 2

It depends on context. I would say "piedra" means a smaller rock ranging from the size of a pebble to something you could easily throw or move. I would use the word "roca" if I was referring to a bigger rock that was difficult/impossible to move. Not sure where the distinction overlaps, but I am sure a native/advanced speaker can clarify it.

Answer 3

Stones, rocks, large hailstones, kidney stones as well.

By the way, did you check the dictionary first?

Of course, the full dictionary entry will only be given for the singular 'piedra', which you may not have known. :) - galsally, Sep 3, 2011
