Cualquier ayuda se agradece, de antemano muchas gracias :)

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): James A. Walsh, Evans (X)

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.

@ Rosita Por eso, es muy importante proporcionar lo más información posible :)

Si son bebidas debería ser 'aperitifs".

Charles Davis Feb 1, 2013:
Pues si estos "aperitivos" son bebidas, tragos, se llaman "aperitifs" en inglés. Pero es un poco insólito en un menú.
rositamartin (asker) Feb 1, 2013:
en el menú que estoy traduciendo se trata exactamente de eso de opciones de tragos que se piden antes de empezar a comer, gracias!
Charles Davis Jan 29, 2013:
@ Rosita En inglés la palabra "aperitif" se aplica solo a una bebida alcohólica que se toma antes de comer.

starter / appetiser

I presume the aperitvo is before the starter?

'appetizer' if it's for the US.

Muchas gracias ya me queda claro que es starter en lo de appetiser no me queda muy claro, quizás me faltó añadir contexto pero el apertivo son opciones de tragos que se sirven antes de comer y por appetiser por lo que encontré es una especie de picadillo que se sirve en una fiesta o algo por el estilo, por eso me queda esa duda. Muchas gracias por ayudar
