Italian term

prova d'acquisto

Non-PRO Italian to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
it's the little coupon you have to cut out of a box (cereals, pasta,..) and collect a certain amount of them to be able to ask for a prize (e.g., 200 "prove d'acquisto" for a new set of frying pans...)

Thanks!

Jul 9, 2011 13:45: Daniela Zambrini changed "Level" from "PRO" to "Non-PRO"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (3): Barbara Carrara, Sonia Hill, Daniela Zambrini

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.

Token / proof of purchase token

In my experience these little tokens on the side of cereal or biscuit boxes or wrappers are always called tokens. (Proof of purchase on its own is very general and could cover anything from till receipts to credit card statements).
Example sentence:

"To receive your free Mumm-Ra figure you would need to collect proof of purchase tokens that were found on the reverse packaging of most toys."
