trigo/maiz o avena?
Hola chico,
Cual es el significado de corn y wheat? Este es el contexto: This has to do with a strike farmers are going on, because the President wants to boost the tax on export In her speech, carried (transmitido)live on several Argentine television networks, she said the government has cut export taxes on corn and wheat to spur production of those grains, which are key for the domestic market. Most Argentine soy is exported. Corn podria ser trigo, o maíz , pero wheat es avena? El diccionario me ha confundido más, miren esto: corn / kO:rn / n 1 [u] a (cereal crop — in general) grano ; (maize) (AmE) maíz m; (wheat) (BrE) trigo m; (oats) (BrE) avena b (foodstuff) maíz , choclo (AmS); corn on the cob =mazorca de maíz or (AmS) de choclo, Gracias como siempre  DIEGO |

Corn es maíz, wheat es trigo, oat es avena. Sin vuelta de hoja. No entiendo lo que dice el diccionario.

Hola Julio y diego: como siempre depende del país, pero como supongo que es para el mercado americano, estoy con Julio. Mira acerca de corn.

Good move Diego! as that is what it means in the US.
Corn means maiz in England too, but it could also be used for most grains as exxcentrica pointed out. Although this practice is becoming less common now. Last edited by kellymellars : 04-08-2008 at 09:44 AM. |
