Thank you, Rusty. Additions and corrections are made.
"Escarcha" as tinsel can be a Mexican word only. I find "cinta brillante" too general, but maybe it's used somewhere else to talk about a string of glittering strips or threads. "Guirnalda" could be the more generalized word. :thinking: "Cinta brillante" would suggest to me a flat and smooth ribbon. |
Garland is the stuff that is attached in a long rope/string:

Changes proposed by Lou Ann and Hernán are made. :)
I've heard "pan de pascua" (or "pan de frutas") as "fruitcake"... is it a Mexicanism or is it normally called so in English-speaking countries? :D |

Be careful what you wish for. Fruit cake has gotten a bad rap for a long time. Eventhough some chefs are trying to "bring it back", so to speak, it is still something that many people stay away from or re-gift it over and over again!:D It has been alluded that Fruit cake can last for years and years....I don't know if that is true or not. :eek: :footinmouth: |

The only context in which I know the phrase "jingle bell" is the song "Jingle bells", in which "jingle" is a verb used as an imperative. I'm not familiar with "jingle bell" as a noun phrase, and I'm trying to understand the construction. Is it just adopted from the song with a change from verb phrase (verb + subject) to noun phrase, or are you using jingle as an adjective or noun? (If you don't know then I may try asking a linguist). |
