Portuguese term or phrase: consultar/consulta
Consultar a listagem de descontos
... depende do tipo de registro a ser consultado.

... deve consultar a tabela 0333.

And so on.

I know that consult is not that wrong. It is often said to be a "false friend", but it isn't. It can be used, I know.

I've also thought of "query", to be queried...

Any comments or suggestions?

TIA.
Emilie
