Did you notice how I used a different pattern?
Víctor Trejo: Dos órdenes de esto y una orden de esto, por favor.
"Two orders of this, and one order of this, please."
First is Dos órdenes de esto, “Two orders of this.” Dos órdenes de esto.
Next is y, “and. Y (enunciated). Y.
Next is una orden de esto, literally, “an order of this,” or “one order of this.” Una orden de esto.
Let’s start with orden, “order.” Orden (enunciated). Orden.
In Spanish, all nouns have grammatical gender and are either singular or plural. Orden is feminine and singular — a fact which will determine the form of other words in the sentence.
Before this is una, “an,” as in “an order.” Una (enunciated). Una.
Una is feminine and singular to agree with orden.
Note: una orden can translate as “an order” or “one order.” For this lesson, we’ll use the latter.
After this is de, meaning "of." De.
Next, is the word esto, "this." Esto.
Last is, por favor, "please." Por favor.
Dos órdenes de esto y una orden de esto, por favor.
"Two orders of this, and one order of this, please."
You should be aware of this pattern, but you won’t need it for this lesson.
