( دو کلمه Equivalent  و Nearest thing رو میدونم، جور دیگه و عامیانه تر چه جوری این جمله پرسیده میشه ؟ )

 

Answer 1

'Stone-trough' as Behrouz Bozorgmehr suggested is used to hold water but when i hear it, it reminds me of western movies where cowboys took their horses to water. I'd go with 'laver' which has got more religious connotation to it.

'How do you say pubelo in English?'  'Town'
