Hola a todos.

I hope you are all doing well today!

I am having some trouble differentiating which is cajon, cajonera and caja.

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong. My understanding is that cajon and cajonera are synonymous which is a drawer while caja is a box which normally doesn't have a cover.

Am I right with this? if not, please explain further or better yet provide some examples. I would appreciate all your responses in advance.

Gracias de antemano amigos.

You are right, except on cajonera, which is a lot of cajones being held in one place.

Hi Chileno. I see. Atleast now I know which to call this and that.Also, I would hear people use boxes like TV boxes, fruit boxes or the likes as cajon as well. I read somewhere that cajon can also mean ataud. these are also ways to use the word, right? - Michael_88, Nov 5, 2013
