How do you say, "walk around"

Question

Used in this sentence:

In the summer, my husband and I walk around the lake with our dogs. En el verano, my esposo y yo paseamos (por ahi) el lago con nuestros perros.

I'm not sure that paseamos por ahi is the correct phrase.

Thanks in advance for your help.

alrededor de can mean corretear, vagar in that context. - 0074b507, Feb 15, 2011

Who told you that?, In my experience that's not true. - Dakie, Feb 15, 2011

Corretear is something like "to chase". - Dakie, Feb 15, 2011

Caminar alrededor is just that, walk around the lake. - Dakie, Feb 15, 2011

I just meant that it can carry the nuance of being appoximate spacially. - 0074b507, Feb 15, 2011

Answer 1

Caminamos alrededor del lago is perfect.

Answer 2

Dar una vuelta is a common way of saying this, Vamos a dar una vuelta con el perro,

¿Es possible decir solamente "dar vuelta"? Por ejemplo: Voy a dar vuelta. I'll be back, - Jubilado, Feb 15, 2011

Dar vueltas, sí es posible. I'll be back = Voy a estar de vuelta / estaré de vuelta, voy a regresar / regresaré, voy a volver / volveré. - Deanski, Feb 15, 2011

Hola Deb.

En el verano, mi esposo y yo paseamos por ahi el lago con nuestros perros.

In the summer, my husband and I walk around the lake with our dogs.

Ahí is not necessary. Por ahí means "around there."

Answer 4

When I was walking around a small lake one day with my grandson we happened upon a native Spanish speaker and to my question: How do you say I am walking around the lake? she said "alrededor de la laguna" for around the lake. I forgot what she said for I'm walking.

él tiene razón, si quieres decir que estuvesteis caminando por las bordes del lago. y no es leguna, es laguna. - Deanski, Feb 15, 2011

laguna, gracias. - Jubilado, Feb 15, 2011
