Caro Hermann, talvez porque mulheres, tendo sempre usado as famosas meias de nylon, sempre se sentiam em apuros quando \"um fio\" da meia corria - \"correu o fio\" ou \"desfiou!!!\", estava instalada a catástrofe no dia da pobre! :-) Talvez por isso, a mim, não pareceu em nada estranho falar em \"fios de nylon\", ouço falar e convivo com eles desde moça e quando li a frase pedida pelo Gino \"100% NYLON FILE\" me bateu uma certeza interior imensa de que ali se estava falando de FIO, e não de lima ou lixa (apesar de ser pouquíssimo comum essa tradução para \"file\", eu sei, em alguns dicionários a opção nem consta). Ainda assim, creio que se trate mesmo de FIO, não de fibra [Latin \'filare\', reduzir a fio, puxando e estendendo as fibras, Novo Dicionário Etimológico da Língua Portuguesa de Rodrigo Fontinha, v. verbete \"fiar\"].

Talvez melhor ainda fosse: \"FIO 100% EM NYLON\", já avisei o Gino quanto a isto em PVT.

lixa de nylon (ou) abrasivo de nylon

Eu já manuseei uma "esponja", mais para um aglomerado de fibras de nylon, uma grudadinha na outra, que pretendia ser utilizada para alisar superfícies tipo pintura ou madeira. Diferente dos sanding papers que conhecemos por lixa.

file (babylon) mens lima, lixa grossa. Gino Amaral induced me to think of lixa.

neutral Will Matter : are you sure it's not "nylon fill" instead? That would make more sense...

this is a spelling mistake it's nylon fibre - Kontext is Textile!

fibra / filamento de nylon

Cara Falasser

Following my private apology I think it would be apt to express this also here in public.

The answer you offered is correct. It did not know this particular usage of ‘file’.
