GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Portuguese term or phrase:base
English translation:sample
Entered by: Louise Etheridge

Portuguese to English translations [PRO]
Marketing - Marketing / Market Research / Surveys
Portuguese term or phrase: base
I just wanted to check that I'm translating 'base' properly as it appears a lot in this particular survey. Examples of the usage of this appear as follows:

Quando a base de questionários para cruzamento for relevante.

Base: 650 questionários.

Bases muito baixas.

I've been translating this as 'basis' but I'm not sure whether that is correct and I can't seem to find anything to corroborate that from my research.

Many thanks for any input.

The luxury market (over $5 million) is harder to gauge, as the volume is limited and with a small sample base there will always be one-off sale anecdotes that dominate conversation and headlines.
