soffit

Portuguese translation: forro; sofito

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
English term or phrase: soffit Portuguese translation: forro; sofito Entered by: Matheus Chaud

13:59 Sep 15, 2016

English to Portuguese translations [PRO] Bus/Financial - Architecture
English term or phrase: soffit Estou traduzindo para o PORTUGUÊS BRASILEIRO um folheto de propaganda de casas a serem vendidas nos EUA. Há uma série de itens descrevendo as vantagens dos imóveis que estão sendo vendidos pela construtura. Um dos itens diz: "Continuous ventilated soffit" Procuro uma tradução para o termo "soffit". Encontrei aqui no Proz.com como "intradorço", que, em dicionários de arquitetura, encontrei como "infradorso". No entanto, parece que o infradorso é somente a parte interior de uma abóbada, ou de uma estrutura curva. Confere? Sugerem alguma tradução melhor ou "infradorso" caberia? Agradeço.

Grading comment Muito obrigada, Matheus!
Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer) agree  Margarida Ataide 46 mins   -> Obrigado, Margarida! agree  Rafael Barros: Se está sendo usado para vender casas, acho que esse termo fica bem melhor mesmo. 3 hrs   -> É verdade, Rafael - é muito importante levar em consideração o contexto. Também acho improvável um corretor de imóveis usar a palavra sofito (e seria uma infelicidade se o fizesse, porque não seria compreendido)... Agradeço!
