I'm not quite sure how the 'long' in the phrase 'five minutes long' would be expressed in Spanish. 'Cinco minutos largo'? Is that correct? Or is there a different set phrase?

Hello, and welcome to the forum! You would say "it lasts five minutes" which would be dura cinco minutos.

Welcome to the forum
Fadden is right, good answer, tarda or dura cinco minutos, depending on context, may be if you can give us a complete sentence?

A complete sentence would be something like 'the game is five minutes long'. So I suppose 'el juego dura cinco minutos' is how you say it? Thank you! :) - femaleking, Apr 24, 2010
Heidita, in this case, "Maybe" must be one word. - 005faa61, Apr 24, 2010
