You could also say:

Ponga el vaso sobre la mesa.

the part of "on the table" can be said in many ways:

Favor de poner el vaso sobre la mesa.

Favor de poner el vaso en la mesa.

Favor de poner el vaso encima de la mesa.

I am curious to know, from a native Spanish-speaker, if there is any cultural difference in the above ways, or any other new way of saying this.

  • "encima" emphasizes the "top" surface - as opposed to what? Could the person be confused that there are other surfaces upon which the glass could be put? :) - pesta Feb 10, 2012 flag
