Tips to remember the word “camión” include associating it visually with a truck, which is what it represents. You might imagine a big truck with the word “CAMIÓN” painted on the side. Since “camión” and “commotion” sound somewhat similar, you might also think that a large truck can cause a commotion as it rumbles down the street.

Explanations: In Spanish, “camión” refers to a large, heavy motor vehicle used for transporting goods or passengers. It’s equivalent to the English word “truck” and can also be used for “bus” in some Latin American countries.

Other words that mean the same thing: In Spanish, you can also use “camioneta” to refer to a smaller truck or pickup. For a larger vehicle designed for moving freight, “tráiler” can be used.

Alternate meanings and slang: In some Latin American countries, “camión” can colloquially refer to a bus, not just a cargo vehicle. In Mexico, for example, “camión” or “camioncito” are commonly used to refer to city buses.

Examples of sentences that use “camión”:
1. El camión de reparto llega todas las mañanas a las 7.

2. Vamos a necesitar un camión más grande para llevar todos estos muebles.
