Spanish term or phrase: "MORO"
Buongiorno colleghi,
ho un piccolo problema con la traduzione di una parola e di una frase. Devo tradurre un testo e nel dialogo si parla di una persona "araba", nord africana, marocchino.....
Come tradurreste "Es un moro"?
Noi in Italia, non usiamo il termine moro....vero?

Non so tradurre questa frase: Ni se me vayan los ojos!

Potete aiutarmi?
Grazie a tutti

Explanation:
Se il testo risale o vuole rappresentare fatti avvenuti nel Medioevo: "saraceno" è una bella opzione.

Al giorno d'oggi se dici "moro" volendo designare gli africani dalla pelle chiara, temo che in pochi capiscano.
Infatti, anche se è errato, è invalso l'uso di "arabo".
Io preferisco "nordafricano".

Se prendete in considerazione l'espressione "No hay moros en la costa", ne converrete.

Per la frase degli occhi dovresti porre un'altra domanda.

Spero di non risultare offensiva.
