A sagging roof

[Perikles]

How do I say "I think the roof tiles are broken because the roof has sagged" ?

Thanks

How about: Creo que las tejas están rotas porque el techo se ha aflojado.

Creo que se dice "el techo esta cediendo" o simplemente "el techo está roto".

[Perikles]

thanks both. How about ... el techo se ha hundido / ... el techo se ha combado

According to the usage I'm familiar with (in Mexican Spanish):

to sag / to bend (in a negative sense) = ceder / vencer

el techo está cediendo / el techo está vencido = the roof is sagging.

También.

Although, it wouldn't necessarily mean that has given up/cedido.

Right?

With hundido, yes, if it has given up.

Not so with combado.

I can do a commentary.

I agree with all the answer but as David said there's a slang in Mexico can you can use.

El techo se esta cayendo a pedazos.
The roof get falling down in pieces.

Or also you can say the root has been falling in pieces.
The root of my house will be falling soon.
The root of my house will have been falling during the last days.

It's my point.

Si no hay tejado/techo: se ha hundido.
Si hay techo: se ha combado. Lo normal es que se comben las vigas que sujetan el tejado. El techo no sujeta nada.

Conbem?
What does it mean?

[JPablo]

Per Oxford Superlex: combarse «viga/cable» to sag; «pared» to bulge; «disco» to warp, get warped; « espalda/piernas » to bend

"El techo se estaba combando por la cantidad de nieve... hasta que al final se hundió".
