English term

gratuity

English to Spanish Other Law (general) c�digo de �tica
El contexto dice:
"Gifts and Gratuities
Military personnel are prohibited from accepting gifts, gratuities or entertainment from contractors".

Tengo "propina", pero encuentro que "gratificación" podría ser un mejor término, aunque estoy medio dubitativa. ¿Qué opinan?

Gracias por su ayuda!

Non-PRO (1): hecdan (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.

agree Lorena Vicente : De acuerdo, creo que propina no tendría mucho sentido, propina se le da a alguien que presta un servicio.

Gracias nuevamente millie
agree Alvaro Rollan : Propina ademas suena como mucho mas vulgar que gratificacion que aun siendo de un nivel mas elevado, queda como un término más neutro.

Propina

Gratificación es mas algo que se da (casi siempre en dinero) en compensación por un servicio. Si un perro se pierde se ofrece una gratificación. En el contexto me inlcino mas por una propina (aunque en algunos paises una propina es una compensación en dinero pequeña). Pero creo que se ajusta mas.
Saludos
