Non-PRO Homework / test English to Spanish Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks I need help with a definition
Hello, I am translating a text regarding test methods for car oils and I am having trouble with the definition for the term "discussion". The context is as follows:

"Discussion- Wear generally occurs between two surfaces moving relative to each other, and is the result of mechanical or chemical action or by a combination of mechanical and chemical actions"

My problem is not with the definition it self, but with the defined word, "discussion", I can´t find an appropiate equivalent.

I hope you can help me.
Regards, Mario.

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (2): eski, cranesfreak

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.
