When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

@airmailrpl Achei interessantes as suas referências. Neste caso, parece que a pipa é mesmo parecida com um barril. Já que é de madeira, faz sentido dizer que ela tem uma tábua encurvada no seu corpo. Talvez seja melhor traduzir por "aduelas de pipas". O que você acha?

pipe How big is a pipe of port?
A pipe is a large, lengthy barrel with tapered ends, and the sizes vary quite a bit—I've seen anywhere from 350 to over 600 liters. It seems the average pipe of Port is 550 liters (about 145 gallons). If your friend has six cases, that's 54 liters, or about a tenth of a pipe.

Someone who makes barrels is called a "barrel maker" or cooper. Barrels are only one type of cooperage. Other types include, but are not limited to: buckets, tubs, butter churns, hogsheads, firkins, kegs, kilderkins, tierces, rundlets, puncheons, pipes, tuns, butts, pins, and breakers.

Nota:
Penso que não seja necessário traduzir "pipe", uma vez que a definição de "aduelas" já inclui a palavra "pipas".

Obrigado, Ana.
neutral airmailrpl : (a “pipe” is a small barrel) - the asker's term is "pipe staves" so the correct translation would be "aduelas para pipas"

"Barril" is "barrel". "Pipe" has multiple meanings and translations: https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/pipe Google "pipe definition" then click "More definitions and word origin". Look for "pipa" under "Ttranslation".
