Introduction
This
post deals with shopping
in general, and with things you may want to buy in a drug
store
in particular.
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 drug store?"
In
Spanish, the other person could choose to be less formal and say:
¿Qué
vas a comprar en la droguería?
Alternatively,
he/ she could choose to be more formal and say:
¿Qué
va a comprar (usted) en la droguería?
OUR
TIP
Answering
is quite straightforward. Naming something you can buy in a drug
store 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 drug store:
- Un cepillo de dientes (a toothbrush);
- Un tubo de pasta de dientes (a tube of toothpaste);
- Un enjuague bucal (a bottle of mouthwash);
- Un champú para cabello graso (a shampoo for greasy hair);
- Un frasco de colonia (a bottle of cologne);
- Un frasco de perfume (a bottle of perfume);
- Un pintalabios (a lipstick);
- Un estuche de maquillaje (a make up case);
- Una crema hidratante para manos (a moisturising hand cream);
- Una pastilla de jabón (a cake of soap);
- Un gel de ducha (a moisturising shower gel);
- Una botella de lejía (a bottle of bleach);
Now
you should practice answering the question:
¿Qué
vas a comprar en la droguería?
