Grammar sheet: the hyphen - (los giones)
Beginning Spanish students, at least those who speak English as a first language, have a tendency to overuse hyphens. 'Hyphens' (known as * Propone que los tres principios socio-politicos sean incluidos en la constitución. (He proposes that the three socio-political principles be included in the constitution.) * Los pétalos son blanco-verdosos. (The petals are greenish-white.)
'guiones') are used much less in Spanish than they are in English. written form of everyday speech, finding use most often in journalese and in writing of a less casual nature. They are used infrequently in the
The primary time 'hyphens' are used in Spanish is to combine two adjectives or two nouns of equal status to form a compound word. following examples: * Es un curso teórico-práctico. (It is a course that's theoretical and practical.) * relaciones sino-estadounidenses * el vuelo Madrid-Paris (the Madrid-to-Paris flight) * literatura hispano-árabe This should be made clear by the
Note, as in some of the above examples, that the second adjective in compound adjectives formed in this way agree in number and gender with the noun being described, but the first adjective typically remains in the singular masculine form.
Hyphens can also be used to join two dates, as in English: la guerra de 1808-1814 (the war of 1808-1814).

PARTITIVO (shops and addresses / tiendas y direcciones)
GRAMMAR SHEET : 'DE' – PARTITIVE ARTICLE /
The partitive article /partitivo 'de' for shops
A record shop (a shop that sells records) los discos → the records la tienda → the shop → la tienda de discos In many Spanish–speaking countries addresses may have what appear to be somewhat complicated combinations of numbers and even to the number of the building in the street, followed by the number of the floor on which the person lives. More numbers and letters refer to apartment numbers on a shared landing. For example Sra. DKav c/ de la Magdalena, 221, Bº 28077 Madrid (Señora DKav, calle de la Magdalena, dos cientos y vientiunos B, dos-ocho-cero-siete-siete Madrid.) (fictitious address) letters. These are very important and usually refer

Most compound words are more mundane and self-explanatory (a 'can-opener' 'abreplatas' for example, is just that). Compounds words, known in Spanish as 'palabras compuestas', are quite common. They are frequently coined, sometimes for humorous effect, although not all impromptu compound words survive or become widely known. As you may have already noticed, the compound words being discussed in this lesson noun (or, rarely, a singular noun when it makes more sense to do so). For example, 'barhop,' depending on the context. Often, these words are the equivalent of the
are formed by taking a verb in the third-person singular and following it with a plural 'cata' (he/she tastes) followed by 'vinos' ('wines') gives us 'catavinos', a 'winetaster' or English verb followed by a noun and "-er," as in 'rascacielos', 'skyscraper'. In English, such words can be written as one word, a hyphenated word or two words, but in Spanish these compound words form one unit.
Words formed in this way are masculine, with rare exceptions, although they are
sometimes used in the feminine if they refer to women or girls. Also, the plural of these words is the same as the singular: a can opener is un 'abrelata's, but two or changed to an rr, as in 'quemarropa' from 'quema' + 'ropa'. Apart from these particularities, we treat the palabras compuestas like ordinary nouns/ sustantivos. more are los 'abrelatas'. If the noun part of the word begins with an r, it is typically
