Tú toca "turnarse"

Question

I have heard the phrase "your turn" as "tú toca" How would you say "to take turns" One of the translators says "turnarse" Can that be used in the context of children taking turns in an activity? Thanks.

Answer 1

"Te toca" is widely used here for "your turn".

There is currently an ad campaign here to sell chicken, ie. pollo, that says: ¡Hoy toca pollo!

Answer 2

Good question.

I generally here ¨Te toca¨ o ¨Te toca a ti¨

Escuchan! Hay que turnarse! -- Listen! You have to take turns!

Note, I´ve heard that in a classroom for kids here, but that doesn´t mean it´s necessarily right. There is a fair amount of Spanglish spoken in these parts.

here English speaking teachers will say "tu turno" but that feels wrong somehow. - deedeegill72, Nov 13, 2013

Answer 3

I have heard the phrase "your turn" as "tu toca"

In this case tu toca is incorrect.

La toca means "head covering."

what would be the correct way to express the idea of taking turns? not just "your turn" is "turnarse" correct? - deedeegill72, Nov 14, 2013

Answer 4

Sí: Ahora te toca a tí, ahora es tu turno.

Te toca tu turno ( I'm not sure about this one, but I think it works)
