  1. Where do you rest can be translated into spanish by saying " donde descansas?"


  2. You don not translate "do" in questions or negative sentences in other languages, as in "Where do you rest?"; "You do not rest", etc. English is the only language that builds questions and negatives in this way.

    "Where do you rest?" is "¿Dónde descansas? or ¿Dónde descansas tú?  

  3. To Do means "hacer"

    But in your case, it's omited because you already use the verb "rest" = "descansar".

    So it would be: ¿Dónde descansas? (informal) or ¿Dónde descansa usted? (formal)

  4. To ask "where do u rest" in spanish, u don't use the word "do"...

    Where do you rest? = Donde descansas tú?

    That's the right way to write that sentence in spanish...

  5. hacer=do


  6. Hace = To do

  7. The verb to do means hacer, but when you are using do in a question with another verb, don't translate do.

    Where do you rest? ¿Dónde descansas(tú)? or ¿Dónde descansa Ud.?

    Do you read a lot? ¿Lees (tú) mucho?

    Does Mary sing well? ¿Canta Mary bien?

    If you need more help, come to my Spanish- English forum. I'm a retired Spanish teacher, and you can find me there most of the time.

  8. Where do you rest = ¿Donde Tu descansas?

    ( In my apartment = En mi apartamento)

      rest = descanso,descansar

      to rest on = descansar sobre  

      

  9. DO is translated as Hacer (you can see its conjugation at Wiktionary) ONLY IF IT'S NOT USED AS AUXILIARY. If it's the auxiliary it is not used. For example

    Where do you rest? = ¿Dónde descansas/duermes (tú)?

    I don't know = (Yo) no sé.

    Remember that unlike english, is the main verb is conjugated not the auxiliary, even in question and negatives. It only stands, of course, for "to do". To have is translated as auxiliary as Haber, to be (+ing) as Estar. Shall or will aren't translated, a future form is used, and must and "have to" are translated as Debo/Tengo que.

  10. hacer = to do

    hace = do

  11. Don't try to translate every word. The sentence in Spanish is

    a - ¿Donde descansa Ud.?

    b - ¿Donde se descansa? or

    c - ¿Donde descansas?

    - depending on a number of things.

    "To do" in Spanish is "hacer." You don't need it in the sentence.

    Now, which of these do you think you need to say?

    Sentence a is a polite, Latin American Spanish question about where the person you're addressing rests.

    Sentence b is a question about where people in general rest. The "you" here has a different meaning.

    Sentence c is familiar Latin American or European Spanish, asking the same question as in sentence a.
