Balon

Balon

The round, inflatable ball used for sports like soccer or volleyball. In Mexico, it is the essential item for starting a reta (a casual pickup game or challenge match, usually played in the street or on local courts).

The balón already popped from playing on the pavement so much, we are going to have to buy another one for the final.

Balon

A steel tank or cylinder designed to store and transport liquefied gas, very common in Chilean homes for stoves or space heaters. It is the cylindrical container that is exchanged when the fuel is empty. (Chilean households often rely on these portable cylinders delivered by truck for their daily gas supply).

Early tomorrow I have to order a Balon of gas because the one we had for the water heater ran out.

Balon

In Peru, a heavy cylindrical steel tank used to store cooking gas in homes. It refers to the portable cylinder that delivery workers bring to your house when your fuel runs out (most Peruvian households use these tanks instead of piped utility gas).

It is a good thing we had a spare balon in the patio, because the gas ran out right when I was boiling water for the noodles.

Bring the balón, man, we are all here now to start playing on the field.

This is the spherical, typically inflatable object used for sports like soccer or basketball. It is a synonym for a ball (in Argentina, the word pelota is much more common in everyday speech).

Hand me the balón, we are going to take some shots on goal before practice starts.
