threaded/consecutive/serial rhymes Explanation: enfiada seems to be something repetitive, in series. To keep it poetical, maybe threaded would be better than consecutive. I looked in a Spanish dictionary also because these words have the same origin and are not always used in Portuguese. https://en.pons.com/translate/portuguese-spanish/enfiada https://dicionariocriativo.com.br/analogico/enfiada/substantivo/continuidade |

peer agreement (net): +2rhymes you can name Explanation: In my view, the author's intent was to show a sequence of rhymes; therefore, a good translation will attempt to reflect that intention. According to the Priberam Dictionary, "de enfiada" means continuously or consecutively. Indeed, the original sentence contains three rhymes (i.e. pequenada, envergonhada, enfiada). Here's a suggested translation: "... the children's favorite place, which puts even Saint Engrácia to shame, and many other rhymes you can name." "How many nursery rhymes can you name? Can you make up your own nursery rhyme?" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 hrs (2018-01-11 05:11:34 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I couldn't think of synonym for "place" that would rhyme with shame and name. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 8 hrs (2018-01-11 18:32:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, I missed translating the saint's name. It should be Saint Engratia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engratia https://www.priberam.pt/dlpo/enfiada https://www.google.com/search?ei=_-9WWtrYEYeMjwPviqCgBQ&q=%22rhymes+can+you+name%22&oq=%22rhymes+can+you+name%22&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0i8i30k1.122 |
