How do I say "drive"?

Question

Excuse me, I am looking for the verb form of "drive", a synonym of, for example, "street", "avenue", or "lane".

And for the record, does "carril" mean lane?

Thank you.

the verb drive cannot be synonymous to the nouns street, avenue or lane - MeEncantanCarasSonrisas, MAY 18, 2010

It is not a verb here - it is a noun - I used to live on a street called "Winchester DRive" - ian-hill, MAY 18, 2010

Answer 1

unidad. And if you want to say the name of a street (ex. Brompoton), you would say Yo vivo en Brompton unidad.

Where is this SaDarius? In what country? I had not heard that. thx - margaretbl, JUN 8, 2010

Answer 2

Welcome to the forum!

Yes, "carril" is "lane" in the sense of a lane in a street.

When you say you are looking for the verb form of "drive", do you mean the infinitive "to drive"?

I infer from context that you mean "drive" as a noun, such as "Rodeo Drive". I am not aware of a specific noun for that; there are the usuals: calle, avenida, búlevar.

Maybe someone can be of more help to you.

Answer 3

conducir - drive

(This is what I personally use)

But that would be a verb. - Jack-OBrien, MAY 18, 2010

Answer 4

Seems nobody read the question again. Sadly I can't answer it either as I've never seen (not even driven along) a street called "...... Drive" in a Spanish speaking environment. I suspect that the nearest equivalent is probably "Avenida" a little classier than a common street or road although, on the other hand, mostly longer than your average "Drive".

Sorry not to be more help.

Answer 5

ferrocarril is railroad!!!!

Answer 6

I use "manejar" for drive. "Carril" does mean "lane".

Answer 7

"Carril" means lane in the sense of the part of the road you drive on, e.g., "the fast lane".

There isn't an exact replacement for "drive" or "lane" in the sense of "small road". "Callejuela"" or "callejón"' might come close.
