English term

Latin male

English to Slovak Other Textiles / Clothing / Fashion
Vedel by mi niekto poradit, ako prelozit toto spojenie v takejto vete? It is far better to emulate the Latin male with a series of splashed, eau de toilette, or cologne-style fragrances.
Kontext sa týka vôní a parfémov.
Ďakujem.

Radovan Pletka Mar 4, 2008:
Good luck with your translation. You will need it.
Rad Graban (X) Mar 3, 2008:
The term "Latin male" is used over here (and I believe in most English speaking countries) purely as a symbol of beauty and sexual attraction. I really don't think we should be neccessarilly looking for the term expressing anything geographical.
Igor Liba Mar 3, 2008:
len na zamyslenie "kolonialna kuchyna" vs. "juzanska kuchyna"
Maria Chmelarova Mar 3, 2008:
exoticky= cudzokrajny, neobycajny, zvlastny... e. krása.....
Maria Chmelarova Mar 3, 2008:
Igor- "exotika, exoticky", nie je len Azia +++ e. tropov...tropy su aj v Afrike a Strednej/Juznej Amerike, Australia atd...To su vsetko vyrazy ktore sa udomacnili len preto lebo sa objavili/objavuju v ...bez toho aby ich niekto opravil/upravil...
Rad Graban (X) Mar 3, 2008:
Not neccessarily marketing text. Textiles/clothing/fashion. It can be an article from fashion magazine.
Igor Liba Mar 3, 2008:
a je dost jasne o aky typ "macha" ide.
Igor Liba Mar 3, 2008:
predsa sa bezne pouziva vyraz "JUZANSKY TYP"
Igor Liba Mar 3, 2008:
pre maria: exoticky moze zvadzat aj k napr. thajsku a to je uz dost daleko k latino
Igor Liba Mar 3, 2008:
pre galux: presne tak. hovorime o marketingovom texte.
Maria Chmelarova Mar 3, 2008:
potom prečo nie "exotický" ?
galux (X) Mar 3, 2008:
Hispánec by bolo správne v geografickom kontexte. V tomto prípade sa jedná skôr o tzv. južanský typ - vysoký, atraktívny, tmavé vlasy a očí, opálený atď... :-)
Igor Liba Mar 3, 2008:
hispanec - http://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demografie_Spojených_států - avsak co naprikald Brazilia s portugalstinou ;-))))
Maria Chmelarova Mar 3, 2008:
hispánsky= španielsky... hispánec/ nové slovo?
Rad Graban (X) Mar 3, 2008:
Is it used just to describe sombody very good-looking/fashionable or somebody from Latin America?
Radovan Pletka Mar 3, 2008:
Jedine spravne je hispánec a to ma skoro 300 hitu na SK

'adonis'/'krasavec'

I just presume it's just to describe somebody very good-looking rather than where is he from. I would use single quotes and probably italics.

hispanec - http://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demografie_Spojených_států

latino vsak obsahuje aj nieco ine
Note from asker:
Dakujem za promptnu odpoved. Vlastne nejde o marketingovy text, ale o clanok z modneho magazinu - cize nejde o povod, zrejme skor o niekoho dobre vyzerajuceho.

disagree Radovan Pletka : Juzan je chybne, vymazte to a odpovezte hispanec, to je dobre

pan pletka neprikazujte mi co mam robit. hispanec je ok, ale pre oblasti "fashion" sa pod pojmom latino uvazuje aj geograficky sirsia oblast ako len spanielsky hovoriaci atd. okrem toho bavime sa o marketingovom texte a nie preklade štatistiky o obyv.
neutral Maria Chmelarova : Igor pod latino tuna sa rozumie Mexikanec +++, to ovsem hovorime o "poulicnom jazyku", nic lepsie ma nenapadlo...

agree Ladislav Filo (X) : alebo Juhoameričan

Hispánec

Jizan je nepresne, protoze to zahrnuje i nehispance. Hispanci jsou spanelsky mluvici obyvatele Latinske Ameriky. Nejsou to Brazilci, protoze ti mluvi portugalsky a nejsou to Spanele, protoze se nenarodili a nezili ve Spanelsku. Slovenstina uz tento termin zacina prijimat.
Peer comment(s):
disagree Igor Liba : "latino" zahrna aj portugalsky hovoriacich - vid. brazilia - http://fmv.euba.sk/files/LATINSKA_AMERIKA.doc
