We are enclosing a room at the house. Today they are putting up the forms for the concrete roof to be poured into. They call in Cimbrar or Sembrar. I looked up both words and neither makes perfect sense, yet sembrar seems closer. I have asked several of the workers how it is spalled and all of them tell me cimbrar.
Help!! Which word is it and how did it come to be used in construction?
Paco, if you are out there I know you can answer this.
And for the actual pouring of the concrete the verb is colar. Now café colado is perculated coffee, strained through a filter. But how did this word come to be used for pouring concrete?
