To Wear
I was selling a pair of denim shorts and a shirt today and the person who wanted to buy them spoke almost no English. Everything went fine until I wanted to say:
The denim shorts have never been worn
and
The shirt has only been worn once
For the life of me, I couldn’t form a way in my mind of how to say it, so I just said, "Son casi nuevos," but that’s not what I wanted to say.
How should I have said the above? Even now when away from the pressure of speaking in person and needing to form a sentence on the spot, I’m still totally unsure?
If I would have said the following, how close would I have been?
Los pantalones cortos de mezclilla nunca se han sido llevados puestos
La camisa ha sido llevado puesta solo una vez
Any input is appreciated.
