Portuguese to English translations [PRO]
Other | | Portuguese term or phrase: com base nele | Hello everyone! Could someone help me figure out what "com base nele" means in this context? The Portuguese in this document I am translating is simply atrocious!
Thank you very much!
This translation is about eyeglass lenses by the way.
Here's the "lovely" context:
"Comercial bem-feito, mas dificilmente trocariria as lentes que uso por mais de década com** base nele**. |
| | | based on | Explanation:
Hi Mary, it appears to refer to an advertisement which the speaker sees as "well done" (comercial bem feito). Basically, he says that the ad is good, but whatever type of lens he is currently wearing is better than those of the ad, therefore, he would not replace his ones with those of the advertisement.
