Spanish term

Carnaval corso

Spanish to English Art/Literary Folklore
Mi principal problema es con la palabra "corso".

Contexto: Carnaval corsos capitalinos de San Salvador de Jujuy.

Es un festival. Corso es un desfile de carnaval, es una fiesta popular, generalmente hay muchos grupos que bailan y danzan.

En el enlace "http://www.mdzol.com/nota/446171-del-carnaval-el-corso-la-co..." aparece una expliacción del término: En cuanto a ‘corso’, el vocablo no figura en el diccionario de la Academia, pero sí lo registra el de americanismos; él nos dice que el término es muy usado en países hispanoamericanos, como Uruguay, Paraguay y Argentina, con el significado de “desfile de carruajes, vehículos, personas disfrazadas y comparsas, que generalmente se realiza en la época de carnaval”. Traslaticiamente, se dice de una persona o de una situación que ‘es un corso’ cuando se alude a su carácter alegre, jocoso o festivo. Existe también la expresión ‘tener un corso a contramano’, en nuestro país y en Uruguay, con el valor de “tener alguien las facultades mentales alteradas”.

Explicado el térmiono, ¿se les ocurre alguna traducción?

¡Gracais!

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.
