no era moda ir a buscarlos al África, y los venían a buscar aquí,
cambiando cuentas de vidrio por pepitas de oro; es decir, lanillas,
cretonas y merinos, por dinero contante o por obras de arte.

It was not yet fashionable to go looking for them in Africa, and they came to look for them here, exchanging glass beads for gold nuggets; that is, woollens, cretonnes and merino wool, for cash or for works of art.

Hi Mark, forgot the second o. Woolens is american.
by Boot2 2 months, 2 weeks agooui, bien sur, 2x o :-)
by Boot2 2 months, 2 weeks agoOK . 😉👍
by tontonjl 2 months, 2 weeks agoll mais oo quand même. WOOLLENS definition: clothes made from wool...
by marina 2 months, 2 weeks agotu ecris en americain alors, c'est pas vraiment une langue ;-): "Woolen" and "woollen" are both correct, with the difference based on regional usage.
by Boot2 2 months, 2 weeks agoWoolen (one 'l') is preferred in American English, while woollen (two 'l's) is standard in British, Australian, and New Zealand English. Both mean "made of wool," and in modern usage, the noun "wool" is often used as an adjective instead (e.g., "wool sweater").
Tu es certaine ? le correcteur orthographe me le souligne en faute et quand je cherche sur Linguee ça me renvoie sur l'allemand ???
by tontonjl 2 months, 2 weeks ago'Wollens' is German for 'to want.' What is wrong with woolens here?
