Description

Interpreter Notes
Interpreters should be aware that 'miembro' can also refer to body parts in a medical context, which may lead to confusion. It is crucial to clarify the context in which 'member' is used to avoid misinterpretation. Common variants may include 'socio' in regional contexts, which should be avoided in formal medical settings.
