Cultural Tip
In Spanish, "espacio" can refer to both physical area and digital storage. When speaking about computers or phones, many speakers prefer "memoria" or "almacenamiento" to avoid ambiguity. Also, remember to keep the accent on "cuánto"; without it the word becomes the statement form "cuanto" (as in "tanto como").
