Question:

Can you help me translate these instructions into Spanish?

The instructions in English read like this:

Say "plata"; now say it without the "ta"

Someone has writen the following translation:

Di "plata"; ahora dila quita "ta"

I thought it should be:

Diga la palabra "plata"; ahora dígala quitando "ta"

I recognize that "diga" corresponds to plural 2d person, and "di" could be appropriate here. Otherwise, how do the two translations measure up?

Por favor, ¡dígame también cómo vienes a saber tanto! Gracias.

  1. Maybe first sentence could be better as:

    Di "plata"; ahora dila quitando "ta".

    Second sentence is perfect. You can say both sentences and it will be correct.

    In both sentences you are refering to singular second person.

    you can use the first talking in a unformal conversation,  and the second while talking with persons with higher hierarchy (like seniors).


  2. i think the best translation is this way

    di "plata;: ahora dila sin "ta"

    i guess this is correct.

  3. Diga la palabra "plata"; ahora digalo sin el "ta".

    palabra is feminine so this is correct. "it" is masculine so it should be digalo.
