Talk:tió de Nadal

The translation looks good, except for a few concerns: I'm not sure what "rovella" means in the sentence, or even which part of speech it is. Pinging for guidance. Also, "soca" can be "stump" or "trunk", but "trunk" makes more sense here. Finally, the sentence doesn't reference "olive". Ultimateria (talk) 22:56, 23 December 2018 (UTC)
 * A tió is a log for burning, from trunk or big branches. The tió de Nadal traditionally was the biggest log prepared for the fireplace. Here soca is "big log" or "trunk". For rovella I can only think as a dialectal variant of rosella, "poppy", used here as attributive for its colour. The expression com una rosella means "blushed". The tió de Nadal is painted with a face, sometimes with red cheeks. --Vriullop (talk) 08:30, 24 December 2018 (UTC)
 * : I mistranscribed the quote, which actually says revella — but I'm not sure what that means. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 19:32, 24 December 2018 (UTC)
 * That makes more sense. It is the feminine form of revell, intensive of vell, that is "very old": the old trunk that becomes fertile... --Vriullop (talk) 20:17, 24 December 2018 (UTC)
