How to say " I'd like to have a (American) coffee, two third de-cafe and one third regular, with whole milk and sweetener" . I had problems making people understand that in Spain. Gracias.

Tommy, don't forget it is plural-two thirdS. - Yeser007, Nov 19, 2011
....an American coffee, - ian-hill, Nov 19, 2011
I thought of that Ian but with it in parenthesis does it make a difference? - Yeser007, Nov 19, 2011
Most of the interesting things in life occur within parentheses. - samdie, Nov 20, 2011

Well I would ask (but it's probably wrong) "Por favor, quisiera un taza con dos terceros café descafeinado y el resto café regular con azúcar y leche". Of course that is just milk and sugar, if you want to be more specific edulcorante y leche entera.

I mean a cup of coffee which is a mix of 2/3 de-cafe and 1/3 regular (caffienated). I know it's confusing.

I was just teasing you... I hope you weren't offended. Over the internet, these things are tricky. It's a perfectly reasonable question. - Jeremias, Nov 19, 2011
