I don't think this person is learning Spanish - rabbitwho, Jan 6, 2012

"To vacuum something" can also be said as "pasar la aspiradora por algo." - webdunce, Jan 6, 2012

I got that from the dictionary entry for vacuum, by the way...did not know it off the top of my head. - webdunce, Jan 6, 2012

Rabbitwho: I'm sure that you are correct, but we are here to help people learn Spanish, not to do translations for them. - 0074b507, Jan 6, 2012

Rabbit the person has not filled in their profile so it is not easy to know their level of ability but since they are askiing in English I think it would be fair to assume that they want to know how to say it in Spanish :) - FELIZ77, Jan 6, 2012

Webdunce: start hoovering at once! This willnot do, only one way to learn... - annierats, Jan 6, 2012

Answer 2

Well webdunce it was a good dictionary because that is how they way it in Mexico at least

Por favor, pasa la aspiradora por la sala.

Recuerda pasar la aspiradora a tu récamara antes de salir de casa.

Stupid me. I already knew that phrasing for vacuuming also. - 0074b507, Jan 6, 2012

I would have recommended the first phrase, too :) - FELIZ77, Jan 6, 2012

Answer 3

InEngland : Please Hoover the carpet/ the sitting room or whatever. Only, not may of us can afford help, we have to do it ourselves. Pasamos la aspiradora nuestros mismos.. ( is that right?)

Maybe tha t means we hoover ourselves all over? Saves on water! - annierats, Jan 6, 2012
