How do you say, "Can I go to your house?" in Spanish

Question

How do you say, "Can I go to your house?" in Spanish?

Could you please write in proper English (e.g. capitalizing "How" and "I") for those who are learning English? - lazarus1907, Jun 24, 2011

Martha, I hope you don't mind my edit. As Lazarus said, remember to use proper punctuation, grammar, and capitalization so people learning English don't get confused. Thanks, and welcome to SpanishDict. - SonrisaDelSol, Jun 24, 2011

Answer 1

I would say...

¿Puedo ir a tu/su casa?

You would use "tu" if you're addressing a close friend or someone younger than you. You would use "su" if you're asking someone older than you or someone who should be shown respect.

I would wait for some more responses

No need to wait for more responses! - lazarus1907, Jun 24, 2011

It's correct? Yay! :D - SonrisaDelSol, Jun 24, 2011

Answer 2

I think it's:

¿Puedo ir a tu casa?

I have read that you can only use venir (to come) when talking about moving TO your current location. You cannot "come" to somewhere you are not. This is different from English. Eg you can't phone your boss from home and say,

No voy a venir al trabajo hoy. (I'm not going to come to work today.)

Instead you have to say

No voy a ir al trabajo hoy. (I'm not going to go to work today.)

Even though your boss is at work when you are talking to him/her.

However if you were talking to your boss while you were physically at work the previous day, you could say: No voy a venir al trabajo mañana.

This is my understanding anyway -- happy to be corrected as I am not a native speaker.

Agree! - gintar77, Jun 24, 2011
