QUÉ SIGNIFICA TINKER EN INGLÉS

Gitano

Tinker

Un tinker era originalmente un hojalatero itinerante, que reparaba utensilios domésticos. La palabra se atestigua a partir del siglo 13 como "tyckner" o "tinkler" un término utilizado en Escocia medieval e Inglaterra para un trabajador del metal. Algunos grupos de viaje y los gitanos adoptaron este estilo de vida y el nombre fue particularmente asociado con los irlandeses indígenas y Scottish Highland viajeros. Sin embargo, este uso es disputado y considerado ofensivo por algunos. El bricolaje es, por lo tanto, el proceso de adaptar, ingerir o ajustar algo en el curso de hacer reparaciones o mejoras, un proceso también conocido como bricolaje. El término "little tinker" es ahora ampliamente utilizado en el Reino Unido como un término de cariño para un niño pequeño descarado. Algunos nómadas modernos con influencia irlandesa, escocesa o inglesa se llaman a sí mismos "techno-tinkers" o "tecnogypsies" y se encuentra que poseen un renacimiento de las clases de la visión romántica del estilo de vida del chapucero. El apellido "Tinker" es de origen anglosajón, y no tiene una conexión irlandesa o romaní.

A tinker was originally an itinerant tinsmith, who mended household utensils. The word is attested from the 13th century as 'tyckner' or 'tinkler' a term used in medieval Scotland and England for a metal worker. Some travelling groups and Gypsies adopted this lifestyle and the name was particularly associated with indigenous Irish and Scottish Highland Travellers. However, this usage is disputed and considered offensive by some. Tinkering is therefore the process of adapting, meddling or adjusting something in the course of making repairs or improvements, a process also known as bricolage. The term "little tinker" is now widely used in the UK as a term of endearment for a cheeky young child. Some modern day nomads with an Irish, Scottish, or English influence call themselves "techno-tinkers" or "technogypsies" and are found to possess a revival of sorts of the romantic view of the tinker's lifestyle. The family name "Tinker" is of Anglo-Saxon origin, and does not have an Irish or Romany connection.
