I am going to go to a party

Question

Is it ok to say "voy a ir a la fiesta"? It just seemed strange to have voy and ir together in the same sentence.

Answer 1

Yes, it is correct, but be sure to say "la fiesta" when you mean "the party" and "una fiesta" when you mean "a party."

You can say both of the following:

Voy a ir a una fiesta. = I'm going to go to a party.

Voy a una fiesta. = I'm going to a party.

Answer 2

It could be considered a bit wordy, but it´s correct.

---

By saying it this way, you are putting more emphasis on the journey to the party, rather than simply attending the party.
