provincial


- adjective
- de provinciano

EN They thought of army commissions and land agents: peasants greeted them along the roads in the country; they knew the names of certain French dishes and gave orders to jarvies in high-pitched provincial voices which pierced through their skin-tight accents.
PT Essas gentes falavam de hierarquias militares, de intendentes de domínios; no campo, ao longo das estradas, os camponeses saudavam-nos; conheciam alguns termos culinários em francês, davam ordens aos seus cocheiros com vozes estrídulas de provincianos, que transpareciam através do seu timbre cuidadosamente estudado.
