SCENARIO
Imagine
you are talking to
a hotel receptionist at the reception desk. After exchanging the
customary pleasantries, you say that you have a reservation. The
receptionist
wants to know in whose name the reservation was made. He/ she says to
you something like: "in
whose name,
please?"
In
Spanish, the other person would more likely say:
¿A
nombre de quién?
OUR
TIP
The question is an
invitation for you to state the name of the person on whose name the
reservation was made. Whether the reservation is in your name or in
someone else's name, the simple answer would be a person' name.
However, you could easily be more informative with very little
additional effort.
Assuming the
reservation was made in the name of Pedro Botero, you could reply:
- A nombre de Pedro Botero (in Pedro Botero's name);
- A nombre de don Pedro Botero (in Mr. Pedro Botero's name);
- A nombre del señor Botero (in Mister Botero's name);
Now
you should practise answering the question:
¿A
nombre de quién?
