tap o cork -

Il sostantivo “tappo” (di bottiglia o simili) viene tradotto in diversi modi, ma non con tap, che significa “rubinetto”. Se si tratta di bottiglie di vino, in genere si usa il sostantivo cork (tappo di sughero): I can't find the cork, non trovo il tappo. Nel caso di bottiglie di acqua, birra o latte, si utilizzano cap o top, e talvolta lid, anche se questo sostantivo generalmente indica il tappo o coperchio di contenitori più larghi: Where is the lid of the honey jar?, dov'è il coperchio del barattolo di miele?

get

❢ This much-used verb has no multi-purpose equivalent in French and therefore is very often translated by choosing a synonym: to get lunch = to prepare lunch = préparer le déjeuner. get is used in many idiomatic expressions ( to get something off one's chest etc) and translations will be found in the appropriate entry (chest etc). This is also true of offensive comments ( get stuffed etc) where the appropriate entry would be stuff. Remember that when get is used to express the idea that a job is done not by you but by somebody else ( to get a room painted etc) faire is used in French followed by an infinitive ( faire repeindre une pièce etc). When get has the meaning of become and is followed by an adjective (to get rich/drunk etc) devenir is sometimes useful but check the appropriate entry (rich, drunk etc) as a single verb often suffices ( s'enrichir, s'enivrer etc). For examples and further uses of get see the entry below.
