envelope
Significado
sobre, envoltura, cubierta, paquete
Un sobre es un objeto de papel o material similar que se utiliza para guardar y enviar cartas o documentos. Generalmente tiene una solapa que se puede cerrar para proteger el contenido durante el envío. Además de su uso común en correspondencia, también puede referirse a cualquier cubierta o envoltura que rodea un objeto para protegerlo o presentarlo.
💡 A common mistake is to confuse "envelope" with "envelop," which means to surround or cover completely.
