Introduction
This
post deals with shopping
in general, and with things you may want to buy in a butcher's
in particular.
SCENARIO
Imagine
you
are talking to a relative, a friend or colleague. You are about to go
shopping. and are making a shopping list. The other person
says to you: "what
are you going to buy in the butcher's?"
In
Spanish, the other person could choose to be less formal and say:
¿Qué
vas a comprar en la carnicería?
Alternatively,
he/ she could choose to be more formal and say:
¿Qué
va a comprar (usted) en la carnicería?
OUR
TIP
Answering
is quite straightforward. Naming something you can buy in a butcher's
should be sufficient. You may also want to indicate the quantity/
amount of what you intend buying.
Here are some
examples of what you could buy in a butchers:
- Medio kilo de filetes de ternera (a half a kilo of beef steak);
- Unos filetes de solomillo (some tenderloin steaks);
- Un kilo de chuletas de ternera (a kilo of beef/ veal chops);
- Unas chuletas de cerdo (some pork chops);
- Unas chuletas de cordero (some lamb chops/ lamb cutlets);
- Medio kilo de carne picada (a half a kilo of minced meat);
- Medio kilo de carne molida ( half a kilo of minced meat);
- Pechugas de pollo (some chicken breasts);
- Muslos de pollo (some chicken thighs);
- Un pollo (a chicken);
Now
you should practice answering the question:
¿Qué
vas a comprar en la carnicería?
