Once again, the inventory of the famous Chilean lease:
En Terraza cielo descacarado
It sounds to me like maybe the paint on the "ceiling" of the terrace is flaking off????????
Any better ideas?? Ideas from any Chileans particularly appreciated.
TIA, MJ

descacarar or descascarar?
The DRAE has "descascarar", with a definition corresponding to your interpretation:
"descascarar.
1. tr. Quitar la cáscara.
2. prnl. Dicho de una cosa: Levantarse o caerse su superficie o cáscara."
"descascarar.
1. tr. Quitar la cáscara.
2. prnl. Dicho de una cosa: Levantarse o caerse su superficie o cáscara."
Note from asker:
Hi - it does say "descacarado", but I thought it might be a typo for "decascarado", i.e. the paint flaking off. Particularly as "decacarado" is not even a word ... |
Peer comments on this reference comment:
agree |
Noni Gilbert Riley
: Yes, I was thinking the same. Peeling or flaking.

Yes. I think it either a typo (without the -s-) or a "chileanism".
