  -> Tks Gilmar
agree  Richard Purdom: I agree it is best to be precise here, and talk about 'usage' otherwise the 'passing of time' won't fit easily either. i would use 'careful' for 'prudente' though.

  -> Hi, Ward. Actually this was not a criticism towards you. It was not a criticism at all. Just a remark about the differences between Portuguese and English. But, don't worry about pologizing, you apologies are accepted. ;)

Explanation:
I view 'careful' or 'prudent' as the best translations for 'prudente' and 'use' as absolutely the most idiomatic rendering of 'utilización'.

normal and reasonable (tenantable repairing) wear and tear


Explanation:
contract of what? - tenancy, commercial lease, bailment, deposit or a drugs trial etc.

Example sentence(s):
  • The common exception for “reasonable wear and tear” exempts a tenant from liability ... and prudent landlord would repair”; and “in good and tenantable repair”.
