"Please spell your name."

Question

The machine translators give me different answers for this.

"Por favor, escribe tu nombre." -and- "Deletree por favor su nombre."

Which is correct?

Answer 1

I suspect that any use of "escribir" is inappropriate here. I have difficulty imagining a form that asks me to spell my name so I assume that this is a verbal question.

Hence "deletree" is the winner in my view.

Answer 2

They mean " Write your name" and "Spell your name"

"deletree" the imperative of "deletrear" - geofc, May 3, 2010

Answer 3

Yes Marcia de le tre e just as you would pronounce leer le er.

Answer 4

Yes, this is a verbal question.

To pronounce "deletree", I must say both "e"s at the end, correct?

I forgot: I need the "usted" form!!

Sí :-) - Delores--Lindsey, May 3, 2010

Kind of like jeje without the "j"s - geofc, May 3, 2010

Answer 5

Escriba su nombre por favor.

Write your name please

Answer 6

To pronounce "deletree", then, where would the accent fall? thanks for all the help with this question.

Third "e", the first of the two at the end - geofc, May 3, 2010

That's what I thought, but I wanted to confirm. Thanks! - owllady, May 3, 2010
