"deletreación" Is it a word?

Question

What is the correct spelling of your name? ¿Cual es la ortografía correcta de su nombre? Can we say, ¿Cual es el deletreo correct? How about ¿...deletreación correcta? Am I making up spanglish words here...?

Answer 1

Hi pili, yes, not a word

La palabra deletración no está en el Diccionario.

The most common way of saying this:

¿Cómo se deletrea tu/su nombre?

I wanted the noun form, "sustantivo", not the verb form... "ortografia' is it right? - pilipina, Feb 17, 2010

Answer 2

I wanted the noun form, "sustantivo", not the verb form... "ortografia' is it right?

Then the word you are looking for is "deletreo". This is the noun. It's masculine: "El deletreo".

It's spells the same as the first person of the verb in the present tense, but it's a noun.

That's what I wanted, thanks - pilipina, Feb 17, 2010

Still, if you want to ask how to spell a word or a name, you should do it as Heidita says. - 00e657d4, Feb 17, 2010
