Spanish term

rotas, troceadas, picadas

Spanish to English Social Sciences Agriculture Olives
Hi there,

I have a list of different types of olives and I'm not sure how to distinguish between these.

The sentence is:

aceitunas enteras, deshuesadas, rellenas (de anchoa, pimiento, queso, almendra, atún, salmón, alcaparras…), en mitades, rotas, troceadas, picadas o aliñadas (con especias, hierbas aromáticas, naranja, limón, ajo…)

Thanks in advance!

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Carol Gullidge, Neil Ashby

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.

@ Poughkeepsie You may run the risk of having your question removed as there are three terms! Rules suggest one term per question. However, I have obliged with the three terms you requested, but please remember for future reference that only one term is allowed per entry or a phrase up to 10 words maximum. However, it may well be considered a "phrase", as opposed to a list of individual terms, but so that you know. Thanks and regards. Stay safe!

cracked, cjopped, minced

An option (cracked = broken).
"Cracked Olives are olives that, before being cured, are pressed between boards or stones so that the flesh cracks open, but not so hard that oil would be extracted, and not so hard that the pits inside will crack."

NB: I've no idea how "cjopped" got in there.. obviously I meant "chopped"... :-)
Example sentence:

Cracked olives are olives which have been slit or gently bruised before curing...

Calabrese cracked olives, named as such because of the way they are cracked (smashed, really) open

sliced, chopped, spiced (or minced)

I chose 'sliced' to translate 'rotas', which would mean 'broken', and I chose 'spiced' to translate 'picadas' which would mean 'minced'.
