1 -manifestation o demonstration?-
Nota d'usoQuando si parla di manifestazioni di protesta pubbliche, si usa di solito la parola “demonstration”, non “manifestation”: Oggi c'è una grande manifestazione in piazza, there's a big demonstration in the main square today. Nel caso si tratti di un corteo, si può anche ricorrere al sostantivo “march”: Participerai alla manifestazione?, will you join the march? Il sostantivo “manifestation” significa manifestazione ma richiede una specificazione ed è raramente usato quando si parla di proteste: manifestazione di intenti, manifestation of intent.English-Italian dictionary > -manifestation o demonstration?-
