peer agreement (net): +1reservation (for e.g. a complaint later on) Explanation: This clarifies what one sort of 'varauma' means: When you receive a shipment you check the packaging and, if you notice some damages, you make a note (varauma) of it on the waybill (with the presence of the carrier). By making this varauma you reserve yourself the possibility to make a complaint later on, if the goods occur to be damaged. (You can make a complaint also without varauma, but your prospects are much worse). Their may be some better translation than reservation for varauma in English |

complaint Explanation: I believe this is what is meant by 'varauma'. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 hrs (2011-01-11 08:39:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- By the way, the actual term used in the link provided is 'initial complaint', which, after looking at my namesake's explanation of 'varauma', seems a fitting translation.
