Spanish term or phrase: Bolso/Bolsa
Tenho dúvidas sobre a maneira correcta e comum de definir os bolsos (?) de mão das senhoras. Refiro-me à normal malinha de mão das senhoras que contém os objectos pessoais (lenços, carteira, etc.) e que a mulher sempre leva consigo. A minha dúvida é se se costuma chamar bolso (com em espanhol) ou bolsa. De preferência gostaria de poder escolher uma destas duas opções e não outra (por exemplo, malinha de mão). Obrigado desde já.
