When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Worum geht es? Was ist "auch for gro�e Sandwich-Toastscheiben" geeignet? Im deutschsprachigen Raum sind Toastscheiben praktisch standardisiert (siehe Verpackungen), im angels�chsischen Raum ist das anders. Mangels Info. kann die �bersetzung falsch sein!

large (thick) slices of bread

Sandwich-Toastscheiben are usually just thickish slices of bread. From a English-style square loaf, as opposed to a German "Brot".

agree sylvie malich (X) : yes, emphasis is on the square loaf as opposed to a baker's loaf.

agree Nesrin : I think they're referring to the large size of the slice, not its thickness (so I'd go for "large" here).
11 mins
It's the square slices (is the loaf square? square or oblong depends on size I guess) but sometimes with English bread you can get thick or extra thick slices too.
agree silvia glatzhofer : with Nesrin; it's large and not thick slices of bread

your right to think as you please, my right to disagree with you. which I do.
agree Kim Metzger : The greatest thing since sliced bread.
2 hrs
agree Klaus Herrmann : I'm by no means sure about the best English term (large slices works fine for me) but a German Sandwich-Toast is just larger than "plain" French toast, i.e. there's an extra inch at each side. It's not thicker, as far as I can tell (without using a ruler)
3 hrs
that's why I put thick in ( ) and then said thickish. here we can buy English sandwich loaves in the supermarket and they are not terribly thin. I'll have to take a ruler with me some time.

sliced bread

Think they mean something bigger than the standard (small) slices that you get in a packet of German "Toastbrot". Perhaps the same size as that the horrible soggy stuff you get in the UK, e.g. "Mother's Pride". Either way, it's not going in my mouth!!
Chose simply "sliced bread" though I wouldn't call it "bread", quite honestly!

toasting slices of large sandwich loaves

I dunno what all the fuss about; surely everyone knows that large "sandwich loaves" are larger in the UK than the stuff sold here as a "sandwich loaf"? There is also a loaf known (I think) as an "Uncle Sam" sandwich loaf sold here, which is also larger than the usual German white sandwich loaf. It has nothing to do with the thickness of the bread at all - purely its size.

And why would you use a toaster for toasting toast....
Peer comment(s):

agree IanW (X) : Agree with you, David. In Ireland they're called "a sliced pan" - do you say that in the UK too?
39 mins
neutral Lancashireman : Not convinced by the term ‘sandwich loaf’. It makes as much sense as ‘toasting toast’. To make sandwiches you need ‘sliced bread’. However I will pop down to the local Spar and see if they have any ‘sandwich loaves’ on their shelves …
47 mins
That is what the square English loaf has been called ever since then....you wouldn't remember it, I know!
