Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that 'ganso' can refer to both wild and domesticated geese, and context is important for accurate interpretation. Common variants may include 'pato' when referring to ducks, which can lead to confusion; it is advisable to stick to 'ganso' in formal contexts to avoid ambiguity.

Common Interpreter Mistakes
