 I was wondering if you could help me translate these words??
How do you say ca?a,PBI(producto bruto interno),repuestos(de carros),motor de compresion in English? I couldn't fiind those words in any of my dictionaries.. 
Thanks in advance, Cris. |
Some good soul has kindly drawn my attention to your post, which was all but hidden in this thread. Here are my suggestions:
Ca?a: which one do you mean (glass of beer, fishing rod, sugar cane...  ) ?
PIB/PBI: Gross Domestic Product.
Repuestos: spare parts.
Motor de compresi?n: compression engine.
PS: In spite of an earlier contribution in this thread, I wasn't notified of your post by email. |

Thanks a lot for the answers given,and thanks the good soul that helped you find my message Now I have less doubts,.....by the way, the ca?a I was referring to,is a long,thin,plastic we use to drink for example a soda ....until now I can not find that word, in Spanish, in Peru is known as ca?a or sorbete...
Thanks again Conchita for the compression motor and spare parts, new words in my English vovabulary

In Spain we call it a 'pajita' (little straw) -- practically the literal translation of the word used in English, which is 'straw'. |
