Answer 1

Chicas, podéis tenerlos.

I think that's the simplest solution. I'm only a learner but that will be understood, even if it is wrong.

I love this because you are right everyone here is sooo loving and understanding!!!! - AimsterASK, Feb 28, 2012

Answer 2

Have you tried the translation box in the upper right corner? That gives you three different choices. Welcome to SD!

I finally figured that out thank you!!! - AimsterASK, Feb 28, 2012

Answer 3

It probably wouldnt make sense translating literally. You would have to say something like "Pueden tenerlos, señoritas" Meaning. You can have them, ladies.

Yes, polite and makes sense. - annierats, Feb 27, 2012

Answer 4

I would assume that this grammar lesson is trying to get you to use "vosotras."

So, in that case, it would be "Chicas, vosotras podéis tenerlos"

If the things they can have are masculine, or a mix of masculine and feminine objects, the above is correct.

If the things they want are feminine, for example, cookies "las galletas", then you would say "Chicas, vosotras podéis tenerlas"

If you want to use Usted form, you would say "Chicas, pueden tenerlos (tenerlas)"

It depends on the context. The Usted form is used in South America, whereas vosotros/as is used in Spain and Mexico.

Answer 5

It would be better if you give us the context. For example, if some girls are asking me for a couple of lollipops in my drawers, I would say. !Tómenlos, agárrenlos, cójanlos! Because of the context, I do not have to write or say any other word.

• If I am pointing at 2 out of 10 girls, I would say, while pointing at them, usted y usted, !Tómenlos, agárrenlos, cójanlos!

Answer 6

las niñas pueden tienes

This is a little confused, shakira, it actually makes little sense. - annierats, Feb 27, 2012
