Accommodation

1. Tengo una reserva. El mio nome ye Smith.

   I have a reservation. My name is Smith.

   Usage

   The first thing to say at the front desk when checking in

   Grammar Note

   Composed sentence; native review recommended. "My" is mio and never changes for gender or number. "Name" is nome (not Spanish nombre)

2. ¿Puedo ver primero el cuartu?

   Can I see the room first?

   Usage

   Used when you want to inspect the room before deciding to stay

   Grammar Note

   Composed sentence; native review recommended. Room is cuartu, a masculine noun ending in -u (commonly used where Spanish says habitación)

3. ¿Ta incluyíu l'almuerzu?

   Is breakfast included?

   Usage

   Asking whether breakfast comes with the room rate

   Grammar Note

   Composed sentence; native review recommended. Here almuerzu is the first meal of the day, unlike Spanish almuerzo (lunch). The past participle of an -ir verb ends in -íu

4. ¿Puedo dexar el cuartu más tarde?

   Can I check out later?

   Usage

   Asking to leave the room later than the usual check-out time

   Grammar Note

   Composed sentence; native review recommended. Dexar is a wide-ranging verb (leave, allow, put down); "leave the room" is how check-out is expressed. It corresponds to Spanish dejar but is spelled with x

5. ¿Hai ascensor?

   Is there an elevator?

   Usage

   Asking whether the building has an elevator, handy with heavy luggage

   Grammar Note

   "There is" is hai (not Spanish hay). Ascensor is masculine; the plural is ascensores

6. ¿Pue traeme una almuhada más?

   Could you bring me one more pillow?

   Usage

   Politely asking staff for an extra pillow

   Grammar Note

   Composed sentence; native review recommended. "Pillow" is almuhada (Spanish almohada has the h elsewhere). The pronoun me attaches to the end of the verb

7. L'aire acondicionáu del cuartu nun funciona.

   The air conditioning in the room is not working.

   Usage

   Reporting a broken air conditioner to the front desk

   Grammar Note

   Composed sentence; native review recommended. Negation before a verb is nun (a standalone "no" is non). The past participle ends in -áu

8. ¿A qué hora ye la salida del hotel?

   What time is check-out?

   Usage

   Checking the time by which you must leave the accommodation

   Grammar Note

   Composed sentence; native review recommended. "Is" is ye (not Spanish es). De + el contracts to del

9. ¿Hai aparcamientu disponible?

   Is there parking available?

   Usage

   Asking about parking when staying with a car

   Grammar Note

   Composed sentence; native review recommended. The masculine noun ends in -u (aparcamientu). Disponible is the same for both genders

10. ¿Puedo guardar equí la mio equipaxe?

    Can I store my luggage here?

    Usage

    Leaving bags at the lodging before check-in or after check-out

    Grammar Note

    Composed sentence; native review recommended. "Here" is equí; "luggage" is equipaxe (x is pronounced /ʃ/). The possessive mio does not change for gender or number
