string

Portuguese translation: fio-dental

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
French term or phrase:string
Portuguese translation:fio-dental
Entered by: Linda Miranda

French to Portuguese translations [PRO]
Textiles / Clothing / Fashion / catál de roupa de praia
French term or phrase: string
Contexto: "Haut en forme de triangle ou bandeau, bas scrunch, brésilien ou string, choisissez selon vos préférences !"
O termo aparece-me ora como sinónimo de fio-dental, ora como modelo "de tiras". As duas coisas podem, ou não, coincidir num mesmo modelo.
Pergunto:
Num catálogo de roupa de praia, como traduziriam (PT-PT) ? Ou será correto deixar o termo inglês?
Obrigada.

Reference: String vs Tanga

Reference information:
http://www.pommpoire.fr/blog/conseil-n2-string-ou-tanga/

"Le string est constitué d’une simple ficelle laissant entrevoir la totalité de votre fessier. Le tanga, quant à lui, est composé d’une plus large bande de tissu qui ne laisse entrevoir qu’une partie des fesses."
