el que gana la pasta/el pan de cada dia Explanation: This is colloquial Spanish. However, the English term can be seen in semi-formal contexts. For a more formal translation, see previous contribution. |

sostén de la familia Explanation: I totally agree with jps2000, this is the translation provided by the dicctionaries of Lozano Irueste and Alcaraz Varó/Hughes. The Routledge dictionary translates it as "mantenedor(a) de la familia", but I prefer the fist one. On the Internet you can find about 250 sites which use this term. Un saludo. |
