throat

The Spanish word 'garganta' translates to 'throat' in English. It is used in both languages to refer to the passage from the back of the mouth to the start of the esophagus. This term could be found in both medical and everyday contexts. In Spanish, as in English, it is also often used metaphorically to refer to express vocalization or emotional feelings, such as 'deafening silence weighed down on my throat', implying the suppression of expression.
