1/4 kilo sliced Swiss cheese in Spanish

Question

Want to shop in Mexico

Answer 1

This site presents Spanish in American idioms but if you were in Spain, speaking everyday Castilian Spanish as it is spoken, you would ask "un cuarto kilo de queso suizo lonchas"

Muchas gracias, Juanito :) Yo no sabía esta palabra ''lonchas'' antes. No soy Americano - FELIZ77, Feb 4, 2012

Answer 2

I could tell you in Spanish but I am not exactly sure how they would say it in Mexico

This could help you for a start but please wait for confirmation as people like Gekkosan, JulianChiv and Dakie to name but three are fluent in Spanish and can speak Mexican Spanish

I am fairly sure that the Spanish I have given you would be understood in Mexico but if you are wanting to use Mexican Spanish you can wait for others to answer.

Quiero comprar un cuarto kilo de queso suizo, lonchas.

= I want to buy a quarter of a kilo of sliced Swiss cheese.

If the idea is to sound a little bit more like a native it won't make any difference which words you use if you were not able to pronounce them like a native or even look like one.

I hope this helps

In a supermarket, there is little room for politeness. Try saying "I would desire to buy cheese" in Tesco's! - juanito11, Feb 4, 2012

Yes, Thank you Juanito ...point taken! I have removed the polite version I agree it would sound strange and out of place - FELIZ77, Feb 4, 2012
