Description

Eyebrows are the strips of hair located above the eyes, playing a significant role in facial expression and protection. They help to divert moisture away from the eyes and enhance visual communication through expressions.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that 'cejas' is the standard medical term used in clinical contexts. Colloquial terms may include 'pestañas' when referring to eyelashes, which can lead to confusion. It is important to maintain a formal register and avoid mixing terms related to the eyes.

Example Sentences

EN: The doctor examined the patient's eyebrows for any signs of skin conditions.

ES: El médico examinó las cejas del paciente en busca de signos de afecciones cutáneas.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing 'cejas' with 'pestañas'; misinterpreting 'eyebrows' as 'forehead'; using informal language when discussing anatomical terms.
