¿El tiene catorce años?

Question

Answer in Spanish " ¿Cómo eres? ¿Cuántos años tienes? ¿Cuántos años tiene Martin? ¿Cuándo es el cumpleaños de Martin? "

Answer 1

I have a question about the question.... Is ¿Cuando es cumpleanos de Martin? the correct way to express what the translator suggests that it means: "When is Martin's birthday?" ?? Would a native Spanish speaker ask when Martin´s birthday is in that way?

(Actually, I can see myself now that "Cuando" should be "Cuándo", but I only just noticed that and the question is really not about the incorrect spelling but rather about the way to express the question.)

I may be speaking out of place here as I'm not a native, but I'm pretty sure you'd ask "¿Cuando es **el** cumpleaños de Martin?" instead. - freeze10108, Sep 9, 2009

He might say ¿Cuál [día/fecha] es el cumpleaños de Martín? - 0074b507, Sep 9, 2009

Darn. I forgot my accent on "cuándo". - freeze10108, Sep 9, 2009

@freeze, I think that the original question was edited and the "el" added. Thanks. ps, I also failed to mark the ñ...sorry. and pps, I am still not sure I know the answer? - Janice, Sep 10, 2009

Answer 2

Yes, we ask: ¿Cuándo es tu cumple?

Quentin, cuál es tu cumpleaños is not correct.

Ok, let's find a situation:

Aquí tenemos el cumpleaños de Pepe, de María y de Quentin. Son el día 7, el 8 y el 9 de septiembre. Quentin, ¿cuál es el tuyo? (cuál es tu cumpleaños?)

Weird, but possible.

This looks strikingly like homework, and we're not supposed to do your homework for you. You need to try to do it first, then we can help you fix any errors that you have, and possibly answer some questions that you may have.
