English term or phrase: I thaw frozen meat, chicken, turkey and fish in the refrigerator
I need to decide whether to include definite articles in the Spanish translation:
Descongelo la carne, el pollo....congelados o
Descongelo carne, pollo ...etc
Regina Gallero
depende
Explanation:
si tu traducción se refiere a una serie de actividades, no es necesario que utilices los artículos... a veces, cuando hay enumeraciones tan largas (más de tres cosas) es mejor dejar los artículos fuera...

Suerte ... :o)

Descongelo la carne, el pollo, el pavo y el pescado congelado que tengo en la heladera


Explanation:
En este caso es imprescindible el uso de los artículos, puesto que se refiere al pollo que está en la heladera, no al pollo en general. (Lo mismo por supuesto para el resto de los alimentos)
