The - erías ….how many do we know?

Question

Many shops and other places have names that end with “ería” in Spanish.

Muchas tiendas y otros lugares tienen nombres que terminan con "ería".

Of course there are other ería words but we are not interested in those here. Por supuesto hay otras palabras erías, pero no estamos interesados en los aquí.

How many can we find? ¿Cuántos podemos encontrar?

Example:

Ferretería

No, a ferretería it is not where you buy ferrets.

No, una ferretería no es donde usted compra hurones.

Una ferretería is a hardware store.

Only one entry at a time and please write a sentence in Spanish and English.

I walked into the ferret shop looking for a hamster, and they looked at me as if I were crazy. ‘You have to go to the hamster shop.’”.

“Entré en la huronería para buscar un hámpster, y me miraban como si fuera loco. ‘Hay que ir a la hampstería.’”.

:) - ian-hill, Jul 13, 2017

Answer 7

horchatería. A place which sells horchata which is made from tiger nuts

Cuando fui a Valencia, bebí horchata con fartones en este horchatería.

When I went to Valencia, I drank horchata with fartons at this horchatería.

I will add a sentence later. NB horchata in Spain is not made from rice. - Mardle, Jul 21, 2017

Answer 8

Alpargatería

It's a store where they sell alpargatas or "espadrilles". Nowadays there are few "alpargaterías" because some of low quality are sold everywhere, even in supermarkets. Besides, some "alpargatas" or great design can be sold even in the best shoestores.

I hadn't heard of alpargatas. Gracias - Mardle, Jul 21, 2017

:) - ian-hill, Jul 21, 2017

welcome - polenta1, Jul 22, 2017

Answer 9

Herboristería or yuyería

They are stores that sell herbs or also herbal teas. The term used nowadays tends to be more "herboristería" because it seems more scientific.

This time I can't translate those names. In fact I don't even know them in Spanish so much. Many people use them a lot. They say it's "natural medicine" and prefer them to chemical products of orthodox western medicine.

I've heard about tilo, marcela, boldo, carqueja, cedrón, diente de león, malva, manzanilla etc. I sometimes use tilo for inhalation when I have a cold this is called vahos in Spanish. Vahos are even recommended by doctors although you can use only water too. I like tilo because it soothes you.

:) - ian-hill, Jul 18, 2017

We have chinese herbalists in my city and a branch of Neal's Yard remedies which sells herbal remedies and natural beauty products, many health food shops and we used to have a lovely shop called Culpeppers. - Mardle, Jul 18, 2017

Answer 10

Papelería

Papelería is a store where they sell notebooks, pencils, pens, ballpoint pens, erasers, rubbers, dusters, chalk, sharpeners, papaer sheets, drawing sheets, color pencils, markers, whiteboards etc. I think it's stationary store.

By the way, we used to call "cuadernos" to notebooks or copybooks when I was a kid. B ut in the last few decades they call "cuadernolas" those notebooks that are much bigger than the older notebooks, maybe like 50% bigger in width and length not in number of pages. How do you call these "cuadernolas " in English?

Cuadernolas in English would likely be exercise book or workbook. - NKM1974, Jul 17, 2017

Answer 11

Sastrería

Tailor shop or a store where they sell suits, pants and other clothes for men. It seems it's a little old-fashioned today. "Sastrerías" was the name in former times. Now they call shops selling jeans, shirts, sweaters etc for men "jeanerías" pronounced "yinerías " in Spanish.

Sorry I have to go now.

La jeanería de la otra cuadra está por cerrar y tengo que comprarle un regalo a mi sobrino.

jajajaj

Yes, Bigote I we used to call them vaqueros. jaja - polenta1, Jul 16, 2017

Answer 12

Juguetería

Las jugueterías están repletas el 5 de enero porque el día 6 es Reyes.

The toy stores are crowded the 5th of January because the 6th is "Reyes"..

Los Reyes or Reyes Magos are three characters of the Bible that brought presents to Jesus when he was born, especially frankincense and myrrh. Parents, relatives and friends buy presents for children on the 6th in remembrance of this. The best present is usually a toy. I think you call them "The Magi" in English.

Sometimes the Magi but often the three kings. - Mardle, Jul 14, 2017
