Spanish homework... can anyone help?

[dab_20]

I missed a day and am really behind and there are just a couple things I can't figure out, so if any of you know spanish, help would be appreciated!

First, how do I tell someone my address? Let's say my address is 5464 East Timberlake St. SLC, UT 89756.
Second, how do I tell someone "It was nice meeting you."?
Third, "tercer piso" means third floor in spanish... how do I say fourth floor? Is it cuatro piso?

Sorry, I know to some of you this might seem so basic, but I'm in Spanish I. lol

[GreyhoundGirl]

Sorry, out of the dozen or so languages I've studied... Spanish isn't one of them... All I can do is bump this for you.

Hope it helps!!! *bump*

It was nice meeting you.

Do you know the difference between TU and USTED?

If you are using TU: Encantado/a de conocerTE
If you are using USTED : Encantado/a de conocerLE

As for the number here is a link you can get all the ordinal number that correspont to the natural ones

As for the adress just translate it in spanish if not I don't understand your question.

[Lobodeb]

To tell your address, you would say, "Mi direcion es....."(you might want to take your addy out of your post for safety reasons if that's your real address.

[Husky_mom]

well here I go......

your address

"mi direcion es Calle Timber......numero......SLT,etc, etc. " if you want me to spell numer I can do that for you

second "it was nice meeting you"
"fue un placer conocerTE" if you are taking to an equal
or
"fue un placer conocerLE" if you are talking to a grownup or someone you feel to be more respectful

third "fourth floor"
"cuarto piso"

four is "cuatro"
fourth is "cuarto"
"cuarto" can also be translated as "room" you know

Thank you soo much for your help! Yes, usted is the formal you. Tu is just you. In this case I think it's tu. Thanks again!

btw, Nope I made the address up.

This has been VERY interesing for me to read through. I took
- 2 years of Latin
- 3 years of French
- 4 years of Spanish (3 of those were at the college level)

It was all many years ago. In Latin the only thing I remember is "agricolae en agua sunt," which I "THINK" means the farmers are in the water. I have NO idea WHY they are in the water. I never liked French, the French nun who taught it was my home room teacher and she and I didn't get along, and I don't even recognize it when I see it anymore. Spanish, I used to read short stories, I had conversations with a woman newly arrived from Bolivia before she learned any English. That was all many years ago. How do I know? Because I haven't any idea what any of you are talking about in this thread!!! *sigh* All that studying, and if you don't use it after the final exam . . . . .

Carole, I can translate that.

I have three cats and a dog, I don't have animals in the house.

Let's have some more translations, and we'll all learn more.
