In spanish, when we ask about a size of an objet we call about "tamaño",
and we use the term "forma" to refer to a "free of size" objet.

Dear friends,

I would like to receive opinions about the correct translations of form,
and  shape into Spanish. My suggestions below:

form - forma
shape - estructura

Because most literature on morphometrics is available in english, I am
unsure  about the standard approach to the translation of these two terms.
The problem  resides in the usual translation of shape (forma), but then
how to distinguish  it from form? Have my spanish speaking colleagues
arrived to a consensus on  this subject?

Thanks for all

Pablo
