Who Is That For?

SCENARIO

Imagine you have just met a relative, a friend or a colleague. You have something in your hands and the other person being curious points to it and says: "who is that for?"

In Spanish, the other person would most likely say:

¿Para quién es eso?

---

OUR TIP

Responding should be quite straightforward. You could consider two cases:

1. What you have in your hands is for yourself. A typical reply could be:

• Es para mi (it is for myself);

2. What you have in your hands is for someone else. In this case you need to decide how you want to refer to the person in question¹. Typical replies could be:

• Es para ti (it is for you);
• Es para ti, Pedro (it is for you, Pedro);
• Es para ti, María (it is for you, Maria);
• Es para Carlos (it is for Carlos);
• Es para Ana (it is for Ana);
