4) Cono Sur (Cos) patch, darnSANTO As well as celebrating their birthday, many Spaniards and Latin Americans celebrate their santo or onomástica. This is the day when the saint whose name they have is honoured in the Christian calendar. It used to be relatively common for newborn babies to be named after the saint on whose day they were born. So a boy born on 25 July (Saint James's day) stood a good chance of being christened "Santiago". The tradition may be dying out now that parents are no longer restricted to names from the Christian calendar. In Spain, as with birthdays, the person whose santo it is normally buys the drinks if they go out with friends.* * *I- ta adjetivo1) (Relig)a) <lugar/mujer/vida> holyb) ( con nombre propio) St, SaintSanto Domingo — Saint Dominic; ver tb San

This is largely because of the importance of such celebrations in the Spanish-speaking world. Every town or village, of whatever size, has its day (if not week) of annual celebrations. These may be associated with the local patron saint or with some historical event, such as Independence Day. On these days people may dress up in traditional clothes, take part in traditional dances and eat special dishes associated with the festival. There may be firework displays and street processions of a more or less religious nature, and, as the saying goes, a good time is generally had by all.* * *f1 festival;estar de fiesta be in a party mood;no estar para fiestas be in no mood for jokes;¡se acabó la fiesta! the party’s over!hacer fiesta have a day off* * *fiesta nf1) : party, fiesta2) : holiday, feast day* * *fiesta n2.

masculino y femenino model* * *= mock-up, model, pattern, specimen, template, paragon, setter, standard setter, style sheet, beacon, exemplary, benchmark, benchmark.Nota: Pruebas a las que se somete un producto para determinar sus tiempos de respuesta con respecto a ciertas operaciones.Ex: A mock-up is a representation of a device or process that may be modified for training or analysis to emphasize a particular part or function; it usually has movable parts that can be manipulated.
Ex: The most satisfactory solution is to use an author abstract as a model, but to submit any author abstracts to thorough editing and checking.Ex: In the same way that citation orders may have more or less theoretical foundations, equally reference generation may follow a predetermined pattern.Ex: An object is a tree-dimensional artefact (or replica of an artefact) or a specimen of a naturally occurring entity.Ex: The <F5> Original Input function provides an empty MARC record template for the creation of an original record.Ex: Endowed with the gift of being able to both listen and question, this paragon always is ready to meet the public without losing balance or a sense of humor.Ex: Accordingly, the role of librarian as pointer and setter must be tagged as obsolete.Ex: Some producers of media materials are emerging as familiar and reliable names -- market leaders and standard setters -- with products as well known as those of the major book publishers = Están surgiendo algunos productores de material multimedia que se han convertido en nombres familiares y de confianza (líderes y modelos del mercado) con productos tan bien conocidos como los de los principales editores de libros.Ex: A style sheet is essentially a template that can be used to create a consistent appearance across documents.Ex: The British Library has recently been described as a ' beacon of excellence'.Ex: PRECIS provides an exemplary illustration of the association and common ground between alphabetical indexing and classification.Ex: Existing wireline networks, with their ubiquity, seamless operations, and ease of use, have provided clear benchmarks for satisfying customers' basic personal communications needs.Ex: Benchmarks are the times taken to carry out a set of standard operations and they are comparable to the government fuel consumption figures for cars.* adoptar un modelo = embrace + model.* carta modelo = model letter.* confeccionar utilizando un modelo = model.* conjunto de modelos = model base.* creación de modelos = modelling [modeling, -USA].* desfile de modelos = designer ramp show, fashion show, catwalk show.* ejemplos modelo = lessons learned [lessons learnt].* el registro modelo = record-of-record.* ficha modelo = form.* método basado en modelos = modelling approach [modeling approach, -USA].* modelo a imitar = role modelling, role model.* modelo de análisis de costes = cost model.* modelo de citación = citation behaviour.* modelo de distribución probabilística = probability distribution model.* modelo de funcionamiento = business model.* modelo de lógica difusa = fuzzy model.* modelo de organización = organisational scheme.* modelo de predicción = prediction model.* modelo de recuperación de información por coincidencia óptima = best match model.* modelo de referencia = reference model.* modelo de test = test design.* modelo de topless = topless model.* modelo de trabajo = working model, business model.* modelo económico = economic model.* modelo ejemplar = exemplar, exemplary model, exemplary model.* modelo empresarial = business model.* modelo en su clase = showpiece.* modelo en su género = showpiece.* modelo estocástico = stochastic model.* modelo informático = computer model.* modelo matemático = mathematical model.* modelo organizativo = organisational model.* modelo por ordenador = computer model.* modelo probabilístico = probabilistic model.* modelos = modelling approach [modeling approach, -USA].* modelos a seguir = best practices, lessons learned [lessons learnt].* modelo teórico para la toma de decisiones = decision-theoretic model.* número de modelo = model number.* pase de modelos = designer ramp show.* reconocimiento de modelos = pattern recognition.* seguir como modelo = pattern.* seguir un modelo = embrace + model, conform to + image.* servir de modelo = serve as + a model.* simulación mediante modelos = simulation modelling.* tomar como modelo = pattern.* usar como modelo = use + as a model.* * *model ( before n)un marido/estudiante modelo a model husband/studentvisitaron la casa modelo they visited the showhouseA1 (ejemplo) modelsu conducta es un modelo para todos her conduct is an example to us alltomaron el sistema francés como modelo they used the French system as a model, they modeled their system on the French onecopiaron el modelo cubano they copied the Cuban model2 (muestra, prototipo) modelel modelo se reproducirá en bronce the model will be reproduced in bronzemodelo en or a escala scale modelCompuestos:economic modelmathematical modelB (tipo, diseño) modelel modelo de lujo the deluxe modelC ( Indum) modelmodelos exclusivos de las mejores boutiques exclusive designs from the best boutiqueshoy se ha venido con un nuevo modelito ( fam);
