una buena palabra para mop en español

[poli]

fregona, lampazo, mapo, alfofifa(?), fregasuelos,trapero. Parece que todos los paises hispana tiene su propia palabra para "mop". Las palabras son casi tan variadas que las palabras para sexo. I wonder why. ¿Oye forum, que palabras usan uds para mop?
ciao (argentinos y colombianos los usa)

[Tomisimo]

I use trapeador, you could also try mechudo, pero creo que eso es Mexican slang.

Yo creo que trapeador sería la mejor palabra, quizá en España tienen otra palabra.

[sosia]

En españa se le llama "mopa" . Se suele utilizar con algún producto limpiador en spray.

La fregona/fregasuelos/mocho es un aparato similar, pero hay que mojarla en agua.
¡NO ES UNA MOPA!


lampazo, alfofita, trapero no las he oído nunca

Saludos

That is an impressive list for mop.

Great pictures too.

[Marsopa]

The household words usually have lots of variety. Should we try some others?

Like sink.

Or blanket?

Or any other interesting common word?

[Elaina]

Sosia, siempre me impresionas con tu creatividad!

En Puerto Rico algunos le dicen - <mapo>
En Mexico, como dice David es - <trapeador>
En Texas - mopeador

Para Marsopa....

Sink = fregador
(tambien.......seenk)
blanket = cobija, cobertor, frezada
Pero yo se que hay muchas variaciones para esto....estoy esperando que otros opinen

Lo que yo quisiera saber es como le llaman o como traducen.....

FAUCET
DOOR KNOB

En diferentes paises.......

For blanket, some use colcha or endredon. For doorknobs I've heard pomo and perilla but I think it depends on where the knob is located on the door, and if I'm not mistaken sometimes picaporte is used(if the perilla is not round). For faucet I've heard grifa but use pluma and I am sure there are other words that may be more internationally understood. A bathroom sink is a lavamono.

[Marsopa]

lavamano...

Marsopa

[Marsopa]

I have heard grifo (not grifa though) and I think edredon (sin la n) is more of a feather quilt than a blanket, right?

Marsopa

[poli]

Is manija a word for doorknob that's not round? Oops lavamano (not lavamono ni lavachango). That was a typographafical error.

I'm with poli.
Blanket: manta:
blanket cover: colcha/edredón
doorknob: pomo de puerta/picaporte
door handle: manilla/tirador
door knocker: aldaba/tirador/picaporte
faucet: grifo
bathroom sink: lavamanos
Kitchen sink: Fregadero
toilet: inodoro, váter, excusado o taza de baño

Thank you, Sosia. I could not remember the word manilla. I was thinking it was manija or clavija.

[bleitzow]

I have learned some of the same words:

Blanket - manta (my friend said, "What are you trying to say"? )
Sink - fregadero (my friend says this is a wash board, not a sink)
Bathroom sink - lavabo (This was a free-standing sink, not one with a counter top or double sink. Can I use this word to mean both?)

What about stove and refrigerator? I've learned:

Stove - Cocina (showed a stove in a home)
Oven - Horna (showed a large brick oven used in a pizzeria)
Refrigerator - Frigorífico (my Mexican friends don't like this word)

Thanks!

Brenda,
Your Mexican friends will prefer nevera over frigorífigo which sounds kind of industrial. Some older people from the Caribbean will use frigidaire for refrigerator. I use estufa for stove and horno for oven.

[Tomisimo]

In Mexico:

refrigerator - refrigerador
fridge - refri
blanket - cobija
stove - estufa
oven - horno
doorknob - manija or perilla
faucet - llave (de agua)
sink - lavabo
bathroom sink - lavabo del baño
kitchen sink - fregadero

Sink - fregadero . washboard is lavadero
Bathroom sink - lavabo/lavamanos (I usually use lavabo)
¿¿not one with a counter top or double sink?? photo??
stove: estufa (for warming) horno (for cooking)
oven: horno
refrigerator: frigorífico/nevera/refrigerador

I remember: This is the common usage in Spain. Other countries/regions can use other words. And some words can have different meanings with other words. For example: I can say "cámara frigorífica" (cold-storage room) or "cámara refrigeradora" but no "cámara nevera".
saludos

[Marsopa]

with Sosia. I have heard manija for a door handle (knob that isn't round).

[sosia]

Yes marsopa, poli already said manija.
door handle: manilla, manija, it's like manilla
saludos

[Cubanboy]

Hola. Por aquí a ''mop'' le llamamos ''palo de trapear'' o ''trapeador''.

Saludos.
