que es decir desmenuzada?

Question

col desmenuzada

Answer 1

We don't know the context, but could this be an instance of the past participle 'desmenuzado' being used as an adjective with a feminine noun?

E.g. would 'Una zanahoria desmenuzada' be a way of saying a 'shredded carrot?

Only a thought!

Seems likely. - samdie, Oct 19, 2009

Do you know, I missed the 'col desmenuzada' in the original post! And 'col' is feminine - QED! - Jespa, Oct 19, 2009

Answer 2

¡Hola/Hello!, Cwilliamsdo:

Putting the word you have typed in your question into the dictionary will not do you any good. What you have typed "desmenuzada" is not in our dictionary nor is it in the Real Acedemice Española.

I think its safe to say that you are looking for a word which is from the verb "desmenuzar" which is in our dictionary, here, but "desmenuzada does not appear to be any conjugation of that verb.

Please go back to where you found your word and re-check the spelling. You may have made a typographical error.

Second thoughts. You asked about "col desmenuzada" and on reflection I can't help wondering if you are not looking for "chopped (desmenuzado) cabbage (col)", or coleslaw. But that is still not the translation I get when I look up coleslaw. I'd like to say I'm of two minds, but, some folks don't think I have a full one (1) mind.

Recuerdos/Regards,

Moe

It's funny .....When I double click on the word "desmenuzada" I get the definition but not when I put it directly into the dictionary. - --Mariana--, Oct 19, 2009

I agree. But, when you "click" on "desmenuzada" in the narrow blue window, it says it is not in the dictionary. Go figger. Technology!! - Moe, Oct 19, 2009
