Specific Phrases

Question

I was wondering how you would express your nationality and your origin without using the actual words, in Spanish. For example, if you were to say your age, you would say Tengo (how old you are) años. Thanks!

Another trick question?

Why was this post flagged? - SonrisaDelSol, Jan 4, 2012

I too want to know why - 005faa61, Jan 4, 2012

Probably because it was the same remark Chileno gave in Mizu's previous question. Perhaps Mizu see's this as sarchasm. Frankly both the question and the remark need some work. - Yeser007, Jan 5, 2012

Answer 2

I was wondering how you would express your nationality and your origin without using the actual words,

How might this be done?

So, like if I am saying I am from Pakistan, I'd say Soy del país al oeste de la India? Is that what you mean?

And for your age, just say, "He rodeado el sol "x" veces." :) - cristalino, Jan 5, 2012

Answer 3

You are using the actual words in Spanish. If you don't want "to use the actual words," then I suggest not saying anything.

Answer 4

It seems like maybe you are comparing English to Spanish in the sense that we say; I am xx years old vs. I have xx years, but I can't understand what you want to say with the nationality. Mizu, you have to be more specific in your questions.
