I don't know what the tickets are for

Question

How do you say: I don't know what the tickets are for? Gracias

Answer 1

Just a stab at it:

No sé para qué sirven las entradas. (billetes)

Ahh! as in you don't know what purpose they serve? - Tosh, Dec 17, 2011

Answer 2

I would refer to that as being old English.

Answer 3

This is a very good question for Spanish learners, because in English it's not a good practice to end sentences in prepositions, although we ALL do it.

I'm sure this is wrong:

No sé que los boletos son para. (plane/train tickets)

No sé que las entradas son para. (movie/play tickets)

I'm sure I will learn something here, too.

I didn't relaize it was bad practice to end sentences with prepositions in English. Are you sure that is true? - andyhewitt12, Dec 17, 2011

Spanish does not end sentences with prepostions as English does. - 0074b507, Dec 17, 2011

I'm glad that I prefaced that I would be wrong. lol - Tosh, Dec 17, 2011

Answer 4

I didn't relaize it was bad practice to end sentences with prepositions in English. Are you sure that is true?

You've never heard anybody say that?

Like I said, we do it all the time... but it's still funny to tell people not to do it.

Who are you buying that gift for? (the way we all would say it)

For whom are you buying that gift? (the proper way)
