Motoguaraña = trimmer Explanation: See picture http://articulo.mercadolibre.co.cr/MCR-418327879-vendo-motog... I think this makes sense in context. I posted a discussion entry for your chiapa question which is defined as: Limpieza de hierbas y maleza de un terreno cultivado. So they clean weeds with a trimmer :-) |

with shrub cutter Explanation: The english word for "guaraña" would be guarana. In the Collins dictionary a guarana is a noun and is defined as under : "a climbing shrub, Pauinia cupana, that is native to Venezuela and Brazil and whose seeds contain a higher concentration of caffeine than is found in coffee beans". I think it should mean : " with shrub cutter" Reference: http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/guarana?... |
