step/steps Explanation: Pisadera exists, and from what I've seen in Google, it's the 'running-board' of old cars, and step/steps for boarding lorries and trains etc. See this extract from a glossary: pirulo,-a Chile Persona refinada. Lugar lujoso. pis España Orina. Mear. Meada. Pija de niño pequeño. pisada Navarra Pisarreca. ***pisadera Chile Escalones.*** pisadero Argentina Lugar donde se pisa el barro para la fabricación de adobe. http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:www.hispanicus.com/drle... So: 'Pisadera' (from Chile) means 'Escalones'. See also: http://www.google.com/search?q=pisadera&btnG=Google Search |

steps (on bus - Chile) Explanation: Hi, In Chile "micro" is a bus, and "pisadera" refers to the steps to get on or off the bus. In Chile, although forbidden, people still travel on the "pisadera" when the bus is packed. Good luck! Maria-Jose ...daily life.. |
