WHAT DOES ERSATZ MEAN IN PORTUGUESE?

Ersatz

Ersatz

Ersatz is a German word whose literal meaning is substitute. Although its use in English is that of adjective, in German Ersatz only exists like noun of own right or in agglutination with other words like Ersatzteile or Ersatzspieler. Although in English such a term frequently implies inferiority or the unsatisfactory quality of substitution, this is not necessarily the case in German. In the United Kingdom, this term was popularized as an adjective based on the experiences of thousands of American and British officers and soldiers, and of other Anglophone countries, usually airmen arrested in the European Theater of World War II. These Kriegsgefangene allies received Ersatzkaffee from their German captors. No doubt, this substitute drink was not popular among the prisoners, who wanted the real drink. In the English language, "ersatz" became a pejorative term during World War II due to the Ersatzbrot given to the prisoners, made with the worst flour, potato starch and sometimes mixed with sawdust.

Ersatz é uma palavra alemã cujo significado literal é substituto. Embora seu uso em inglês seja o de adjetivo, em alemão Ersatz só existe como substantivo de próprio direito ou em aglutinação com outras palavras tais como Ersatzteile ou Ersatzspieler. Embora em inglês tal termo frequentemente implique a inferioridade ou a qualidade insatisfatória da substituição, o mesmo não acontece necessariamente em alemão. No Reino Unido, esse termo foi popularizado como adjetivo em função das experiências de milhares de oficiais e soldados americanos, britânicos, e de outros países anglófonos, geralmente aviadores presos no Teatro Europeu da Segunda Guerra Mundial. Esses Kriegsgefangene aliados receberam Ersatzkaffee de seus captores alemães. Sem dúvida, essa bebida substituta não era popular entre os prisioneiros, que desejavam a bebida verdadeira. Na língua inglesa, "ersatz" tornou-se um termo pejorativo durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial em função do Ersatzbrot dado aos prisioneiros, feito com a pior farinha, amido de batata e às vezes misturado com serragem.
