| comisaría commissary (store for provisions) Explanation: I've put above in brackets what commissary means - perhaps it would actually be better to use as tore for provisions though (depending on your context). Dictionary says that commissary is especially a restaurant in a film studio. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 mins (2003-12-11 21:57:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- use a store... sorry! |

| comisaría meriendas / almuerzos Explanation: es eso, el lugar donde se toma -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 mins (2003-12-11 22:03:23 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- En realidad el español del original está incorrecto, porque en español \"comisaría\" no existe como un lugar donde se come. Es un anglicismmo de \"commisary\", que en inglés es algo paracido a un cafetería, aunque su uso es bastante limitado a las cafeterías de los estudios de cine o televisión. En este caso, tratándose de un sitio de construcción, hasta \"cafetería\" podría ser pretencioso. Bastaría \"área para meriendas\". |
