Hwk Question Help

Question

There is a question on my Spanish hwk that should be a question, but it's worded like a statement, so I don't know how to respond to it.

"Armas que se hacen en Toledo (desde hace siglos) y que son de mucha fama mundialmente por su calidad y belleza"

I believe it means something like, "Weapons that are made in Toledo (during the centuries), and are very famous worldwide for their strength and beauty."

How to answer?

Thank you for the translation help chileno, but I need to know how to respond to it. It's supposed to be a question/answer thing. - ewright1217, Aug 16, 2013

Is it asking me to name the weapons? Like which weapons are world-famous? - ewright1217, Aug 16, 2013

Answer 1

I think you are supposed to say wich are those "Weapons that are made in Toledo (during the centuries), and are very famous worldwide for their strength and beauty." The right answer would be "Swords", or in spanish " Espadas". Here in spain we use the term "Espadas toledanas" when the swords were made in Toledo, since this city has a really ancient tradition in the handcrafted swords and weaponry stuff.

Answer 2

Good translation. I would say though (during centuries) erasing that "the".

Well, now that you have a perfect translation in English. What you say about that?

I would say: .... (for centuries).... - gringojrf, Aug 16, 2013

Answer 3

I would translate "desde hace siglos" as centuries ago.
