Translating from English to Spanish

I wonder if someone can help me, I have some doubts, "How could I translate from English to Spanish correctly, : "A Gray Mosaic tile tub sunk deep into a terracotta floor" ? I've translated that as : "Una bañera de baldosas de mosaico gris hundida en un piso de terracotta, is that ok?

¡Estoy un poco confundido acerca de la traducción correcta de esta oración! :'(

I think this one will vary by region. Here in Baja a bathtub is a "tina", while in other places a "bañera" as you have used. Also here we call tile "azulejos", other places may use "baldosas".

You need a "que" and "está" to separate the two clauses: ....gris que está hundida .....

I hope this helps

Hello I think you did it well.

And "que está" is not absolutely necessary.

Hello toxic garbage:

Welcome to the SpanishDict forum smile

You asked;

I wonder if someone can help me, I have some doubts, "How could I translate from English to Spanish correctly, : "A Gray Mosaic tile tub sunk deep into a terracotta floor" ? I've translated that as : "Una bañera de baldosas de mosaico gris hundida en un piso de terracotta, is that ok?

"A gray mosaic tile tub sunk deep into a terracotta floor" ? (A tile tub of gray mosaic sunk into a terracotta floor

I would say, but I am not 100% certain: Una bañera de baldosa de mosaico gris (que está) hundido en un suelo de terracota

I hope this helps smile

I think that is right, of course some things in English change a lot when those are translated to the Spanish, am pretty sure that could be the right translation for this one. - Toxic_Garbaje, Nov 8, 2015

I've said this to you before. The use of proper capitalization and punctuation is required here on SD. Correct your post. - rac1, Nov 10, 2015
