Media / Multimedia / trecho de uma telenovela
Portuguese term or phrase: feirante
The conversation is between a newly-wed couple. The translation is into American English. I couldn't quite understand the guy's name (see asterisk below).

Sônia: Te achei estranho hoje, Clóvis.
Clóvis: Estranho como?
Sônia: Foi ríspido comigo quando eu trouxe a Dedé da cozinha pra sala. Depois expulsou o Taim* e os outros.
Clóvis: Eles são feirantes, meu amor. Não tinham nada que fazer aqui na minha casa.

My choice is based on Aulete's definitions:
feirante: vendedor de feira (2)
feira (2): (Bras.) Agrupamento de barracas de mercadores de hortaliças, frutas e outros gêneros, em dia da semana e local fixos.
It seems to me that "farmer's market seller/vendor" best fits these definitions. Apparently both seller and vendor are acceptable. See Discussion Board for further comments. I entered both in the Glossary while I'm yet to decide which one to use for my particular context. Thank you all for your contributions.

  -> Obrigada pelo link, Charles. Pensei em colocar 'farmer's' ou 'outdoor' na frente da palavra market, mas achei que ficaria muito longo, pois seriam 3 palavras para significar 'feirante'.

agree  Gilmar Fernandes: or "street market vendors" also
5 hrs
  -> That's another good suggestion, Gilmar. I am just hoping that the idea of a street or outdoor market where fruit and vegetables are sold will be inferred through the context of the conversation. So, 'market vendor' would be enough. Thank you!

stall holder


Explanation:
The use of feirante is condescending, so I think stall holder is a good fit.

Alternatively, 'market stall holder'.

Correction. Meant to say "The use of feirante is condescending in the asker's context, so I think stall holder is a good fit.

--------------------------------------------------

Or indeed 'stallkeeper,' as the asker originally suggests. As with the 'feirante', there is no implication that the stallholder/stallkeeper has anything to do with growing/producing their wares. Crucially, the feirante/stallholder/stallkeeper is a middle man, who usually sources their goods at the local wholesale market. This difference is properly emphasized in wikipedia, under 'farmers market.'

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you, Robert (airmailrpl). Indeed, the references show otherwise, and I found plenty of them to justify my choice.

neutral  T o b i a s: A farmers' market (or "farmers market") is a specific type of market. I don't think the context suggests this at all.
3 days 5 hrs
  -> ok

disagree  Richard Purdom: spelled wrongly, totally inappropriate, no grounds at all and ignorance of the difference between a farmers' market and other type of market. A 'farmer's market seller', if it existed at all , would be a farmer. Not my opinion, fact.
