Textiles / Clothing / Fashion
English term or phrase: Latin male
Vedel by mi niekto poradit, ako prelozit toto spojenie v takejto vete? It is far better to emulate the Latin male with a series of splashed, eau de toilette, or cologne-style fragrances.
Kontext sa týka vôní a parfémov.
Ďakujem.

'adonis'/'krasavec'
Explanation:
I just presume it's just to describe somebody very good-looking rather than where is he from. I would use single quotes and probably italics.

Dakujem, myslim ze Vasa odpoved je najvystiznejsia. Mate pravdu, nejedna sa o marketingovy text, ale o clanok z modneho magazinu. Zjavne tam nejde o povod, skor vseobecne o niekoho dobre vyzerajuceho.

  -> pan pletka neprikazujte mi co mam robit. hispanec je ok, ale pre oblasti "fashion" sa pod pojmom latino uvazuje aj geograficky sirsia oblast ako len spanielsky hovoriaci atd. okrem toho bavime sa o marketingovom texte a nie preklade štatistiky o obyv.
neutral  Maria Chmelarova: Igor pod latino tuna sa rozumie Mexikanec +++, to ovsem hovorime o "poulicnom jazyku", nic lepsie ma nenapadlo...

Hispánec


Explanation:
Jizan je nepresne, protoze to zahrnuje i nehispance. Hispanci jsou spanelsky mluvici obyvatele Latinske Ameriky. Nejsou to Brazilci, protoze ti mluvi portugalsky a nejsou to Spanele, protoze se nenarodili a nezili ve Spanelsku. Slovenstina uz tento termin zacina prijimat.
