Spanish to English Other Ships, Sailing, Maritime Texto divulgativo
Hola:

Tengo una duda de cómo traducir correctamente "práctica/practicada" en estos contextos:

"Los niños se inician en la práctica de la náutica a temprana edad."

"Los turistas se adentraban en su práctica."

"En esa época existía una cierta predisposición a la navegación recreativa en Alicante. Esta sería practicada por los marineros de la localidad"

Agradecería mucho vuestra ayuda.

Saludos.

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): neilmac

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.

art of sailing/practised

In the first two instances, perhaps "the art of sailing". However, in the third instance, you would have to use another word. Perhaps "practised" would work.
