Gerardo wrote:How do you say "crisp paper" in Spanish? Just one word comes to mind and it's "papel crujiente", which is weird cause it would mean the same as "crunchy paper". Just like "crunchy", the word "crujiente" is basically used only to describe foods; so if I said "papel crujiente", I would probably get a response like: "What do you mean? Did you chew the paper?"

Know what I mean? So how do you really say it in Spanish?


Thanks in advance!

How about Papel rigido

Thank you very much for your answers. I'm not completely convinced but I think they are a lot better than my option :)

Is there a single word with which I could say "ununfoldable"? I mean by that something that can't be unfolded.

I don't think so, cause I'm asking for the exact opposite. It could be "indesdoblable" but I don't think that word really exists.

I like "indesdoblable" it might not be a word but it tells you what happens with this model. Irreversible on the other hand sounds as something than can not be turned insideout.

Would you please help me with another term I wish to translate? How has the special fold named "radial pleat" been called in Spanish?

I wouldn't know. Do you already have a Spanish word for "pleat" then why not use radial -thatthingyoualreadyhaveforpleat?

Brimstone, well I know that the main name for the pleat fold is "pliegue escalonado". Might the term "pliegue escalonado radial" have been used before?

The radial pleat fold is a very simple and common fold, I'm surprised it's name in Spanish isn't just as common.

"Pliegue escalonado" is not the same as pleat. To me a "pliegue escalonado" is what you do when you shorten a dragon's tail or anything like that that you do a mountain fold then a valley fold next to it and then another mountain fold next to the previous valley one and this is done through several layers, while a pleat is usually the same mountain - valley - mountain alternation, but usually through single layers and with specific references.

I'm not sure of what you mean. Can you show me the difference through links in the web? Thanks in advance Brimstone.
