Thanks in advance, Cris.

Some good soul has kindly drawn my attention to your post, which was all but hidden in this thread. Here are my suggestions:

    Ca?a: which one do you mean (glass of beer, fishing rod, sugar cane... Smile ) ?

    PIB/PBI: Gross Domestic Product.

    Repuestos: spare parts.

    Motor de compresi?n: compression engine.


PS: In spite of an earlier contribution in this thread, I wasn't notified of your post by email.

Thanks a lot for the answers given,and thanks the good soul that helped you find my message Smile Now I have less doubts,.....by the way, the ca?a I was referring to,is a long,thin,plastic we use to drink for example a soda Rolling Eyes ....until now I can not find that word, in Spanish, in Peru is known as ca?a or sorbete...

Thanks again Conchita for the compression motor and spare parts, new words in my English vovabulary Smile
Cris.

In Spain we call it a 'pajita' (little straw) -- practically the literal translation of the word used in English, which is 'straw'.
