-A specialty shop is where a specific product is sold or where a service is rendered.

- The names of these specialty shops in Spanish also refer to the trade or profession (el oficio) and in some cases the workshop (el taller).

-Many of the specialty shops in Spanish are identifiable by the ending -er?a-. The word is generally formed by the noun (as the root) and -er?a- is added to form a new word.

----------------------------------

Part I

Can you give the equivalent English name of each of these stores or workshops?

1) la panader?a 2) la ebanister?a 3) la peluquer?a 4) la ferreter?a 5) la zapater?a 6) la tintorer?a 7) la pescader?a 8) la helader?a 9) la droguer?a (farmacia) 10) la pasteler?a 11) la sastrer?a 12) la joyer?a 13) la carnicer?a 14) la tapicer?a 15) la lavander?a 16) la cafeter?a 17) la cervecer?a 18) la pizzer?a 19) la fruter?a 20) la lecher?a 21) la lencer?a 22) la librer?a 23) la verduler?a 24) la papeler?a 25) la sombrerer?a


Part II

Example:

Pregunta: ?En qu? tienda puedo comprar los siguientes productos? ( In what store can I buy the following products)?

Respuesta: Para comprar 'papel higi?nico' tienes que ir a 'la farmacia'.(You have to go to the pharmacy to buy toilet paper)

Indicate in what store each product can be bought using choices from Part I.

Cerveza/ helado/ manzanas/ champ?/ jab?n/ cerezas/ lechuga/ bronceador/ una pulsera/ leche/ queso/ gambas/ camarones/ bacalao/ yogur/ galletas/ aretes/ un reloj/ ropa interior/ un batido de fresa/ caf?/ t?/ arenque/ at?n/ carne molida/ pollo/ carne de res/ fresas/ un serrucho/ un taladro/ un diccionario/ la revista Newsweek en espa?ol/ un martillo/ apio/ tomates/ pasteles


Part I only needs to be completed once (whatever is missing I will fill it in) and then anyone can do Part II for practice.

PD. all words are intentionally generic or common to most Spanish speaking countries.

* The practice exercises will be corrected in a few days.

Mofi...

It's nice to see that you are participating in the forum again. As usual you did a wonderful job at completing Part I.

I will clarify a few points:

2) la ebanister?a- is the work shop (el taller donde trabaja un ebanista). Also it means the 'art of' cabinet making as well as other furniture.

4) la ferreter?a- 'hardware store'.

17) la cervecer?a- this is also means an establishment where beer is sold.

21) la lencer?a - this is also the name for 'the lingerie' store (ropa interior femenina). Women's intimate wear.

24) la papeler?a- 'stationary store'

the ceverceria i was thinking they might sell beer as well but I didn't put it, and for papeleria- the ones i have been in have sold alot more then what you would find in a stationary store here, so i was a little hard pressed to call it a stationary store.
