English term or phrase: Alpha lion
Hola,

En una pel.lícula he trobat això:
"When you're bigger, you'll be Alpha Lion, just like me."

Com traduim això d'"Alpha"? És "lleó alfa" o té un altra traducció?

Moltes gràcies

Catalan translation:Mascle dominant, mascle líder del grup
Explanation:
Senzillament en podriem dir un "mascle dominant" o el "mascle líder del grup".
Un home alfa és un home dominant o líder. Aquí s'aplicaria als lleons.

Explanation:
Si es tracta d´una pel·lícula per a xiquets, penso que és millor aquesta paraula.

Pensa que "mascle alfa" és molt tècnic.

Si no és el cas, les altres opcions són correctes.

Salut,

Gemma
