(station = railway station or train station... do you have to specify in Spanish that it is a railway station or is there one word for it like in German or French? (der Bahnhof/la gare) ) Gracias amigos :) rT19 fui a la estacion my iphone translator came up with that. hope its right Ania_xox lol thanks for the try I need something confirmed by a native or fluent speaker though - I'm using this example for a very highly detailed analysis of the way this sentence is translation in 5 different languages. Babel fish/google translator won't do :sadgreen: MeLLyMeL i dunno my spanish is bad. yo fui a la estacion de trenes?? don't trust me though. I don't know if you can just use "station" in spanish. Maybe in a place like New York you can... or maybe it is common knowledge that station means - train station. wait for other people ;] DJ Damerchi yo fui a la estacion del tren stren estacion el ferrocaril ? MeLLyMeL quote: Originally posted by stren estacion el ferrocaril ? never. lol estacion de tren if anything. stren quote: Originally posted by MeLLyMeL never. lol estacion de tren if anything. estacion de stren ? why is ferrocaril not associated with a train station ? Ivand Yo fuí a la estación native speaker here stren quote: Originally posted by Ivand Yo fuí a la estación native speaker here lol @ avatar nefardec there are a few words. fui a la estación (most people know what you are talking about) fui a la estación de tren fui a la estación ferroviaria fui a la estación de ferrocarril ferrocaril/ferroviaria is going to be used for older stations, it's like saying 'railway' as opposed to 'train'. i think you might see it more in spain as for one word, there is not one single word that i know of. spanish is not like german, lol, where you can just add things on - 'de' is used to create compounds. bahnhof is like 'hof von der bahn', in the spanish way of making compounds.. i'd imagine itd be more appropriate to call a train station by name/location/system. MeLLyMeL i dunno.. who uses railway? CLICK TO RETURN TO TOP OF PAGE Pages: [1] 2 3 4 5
