A Spanish papercut
Papercuts.
We all know how pesky they are in English, and I'm sure that their Spanish counterparts are no less annoying.
But how should I address a Hispanic one?
Okay. Could someone please give me a Spanish word for 'papercut?' The more local flavour the better... ![]()

Un cortecito con un papel. or Un corte hecho con una hoja de papel.
Por ejemplo:
Limpiar un corte hecho con papel

It seems there would be no direct word in proper spanish without using what linguistics would call "borrowed terms" from other languages (like english). a borrowed term would be a made up word like "papel corte" or something like that. The best thing would be to describe the action in spanish, which would sound something like "hacio un corte en un dedo con papel" which is basically saying to i cut a finger with paper, at least i hope it does. ![]()
