Hi,

This is the full sentence:

I'm stuck on "arts fijas." Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

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.

artes fijos or artes fijas? (III) https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=los artes de p...

In the case of "artes fijos" versus "artes fijas", the masculine was much more common up to the 1930s. From about 1950-1990 there were many more instances of "artes fijas", but now they are more or less equally common:

artes fijos or artes fijas? (II) This has changed over time. In the 19th century the Academy dictionary said that although "arte" always takes a masculine article in the singular, to avoid cacophony, you can put the adjective in whichever gender sounds better; both "el arte diabólico" and "el arte diabólica" are acceptable. They stopped saying this around 1900. In 1840, in his Gramática de la lengua castellana según ahora se habla, Vicente Salvá said that in the plural "artes" takes feminine adjectives when referring to "profesiones o ramos" (las bellas artes, las artes liberales) but otherwise it's usually masculine, and he gives the examples "los artes para coger pezes", "los artes de la gramática y de la retórica".

Google's Ngram viewer shows that until around 1930 "los artes de pesca" and "las artes de pesca" were more or less equally common, but since then "las artes de pesca" has increasingly been the predominant form and it is now about five times as common as "los artes de pesca".

artes fijos or artes fijas? (I) The RAE and all modern grammarians I have consulted agree that arte is usually masculine in the singular and feminine in the plural, though the DLE continues to list it as "m. o f." in all senses of the word. See the DPD, which says "cuando va en plural, lo normal es usarlo en femenino", and includes an example of "las artes de pesca" but none of "los artes de pesca":
http://lema.rae.es/dpd/?key=arte

I don't think anyone would say "bellos artes"; it's always "bellas artes". However, quite a lot of fishery sources, including legal and administrative documents in Spain, refer to "los artes de pesca". It would seem, therefore, that for at least some speakers the gender of "artes", plural, varies according to the sense: they treat it as feminine when it refers to arts and masculine when it refers to fishing gear.

fixed gear

Fixed Gear
Fishing gear that is stationary after it is deployed (unlike trawl or troll gear which is moving when it is actively fishing). Fixed gear includes gillnets, long lines, pots, traps, and any other gear that is anchored at least at one end.

Fixed Gear Commercial Fishing » Wells & Co Marine Insurance Agency

Traducir esta página
Fixed Gear includes rod & reel, powered rod & reel or hook troll, but generally means trapping or potting, and gillnetting, where the catching implement is set, soaked and later retrieved. Longlining is not included in this category because claims experience for that group more closely resembles the mobile gear category.

Peer comment(s):

agree philgoddard : Or passive. Your reference is the very first Google hit for the phrase, but maybe the asker was too busy to Google it.
