una buena palabra para mop en español

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)

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.

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

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

Like sink.

Or blanket?

Or any other interesting common word?

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.......

blankets doorknobs faucets

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.

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