Introduction
This
post deals with shopping
in general, and with things you may want to buy in a stationary
shop
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 stationary shop?"
In
Spanish, the other person could choose to be less formal and say:
¿Qué
vas a comprar en la papelería?
Alternatively,
he/ she could choose to be more formal and say:
¿Qué
va a comprar (usted) en la papelería?
OUR
TIP
Answering
is quite straightforward. Naming something you can buy in a
stationary shop 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 stationary shop:
- Un lápiz (a pencil);
- Un cuaderno de papel rayado (a lined writing pad);
- Una caja de lápices de colores (a box of coloured pencils);
- Un bolígrafo (a ballpoint pen);
- Un tubo de pegamento (a tube of glue);
- Un rollo de cinta adhesiva (a roll of sticky tape);
- Una grapadora (a stapler);
- Una caja de grapas (a box of staples);
- Una caja de 'clips' (a box of paper clips);
- Una carpeta (a folder/ file);
- Una papelera (a waste-paper basket);
Now
you should practice answering the question:
¿Qué
vas a comprar en la papelería?
