Non-PRO English to Spanish Other Other
Hi there! It's a silly question but that sign always makes me doubt. Is it "menos de 8 min" or "más de 8 min"

Thanks so much

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.

O G V Jul 27, 2023:
son menos de 8 minutos, no menos que es decir, no hay comparación entre cantidades.
Taña Dalglish Jul 27, 2023:
Less than is represented by “<” and less than or equal to is represented by “≤”. https://www.splashlearn.com/math-vocabulary/counting-and-com... In other words, "menos de".

La apertura grande siempre señala al elemento más grande, y la terminación más pequeña, la punta, al más pequeño.

neutral O G V : correcto, pero en este caso no hay comparación con otro número (son menos de 8, no menos que X). Esa apertura grande señala al 8 y la pequeña, a nada :). La regla o truco vale sólo para comparaciones. Saludos.// En este caso no sirve: "add < 8 min" :)

También sirve como mnemotecnia para casos como este en los que se utiliza el signo de forma telegráfica. Saludos, Óscar
agree Toni Castano : "Menos de", correcto.
