El rey y la reina
There are a king and a queen in the story I'm translating into Spanish. I think in Spanish "los reyes" would sound better than "el rey y la reina" (there are severan sentences about "the king and the queen"). Would you say "the kings" in English or you'd use better "the king and the queen"?
Thanks. Edit: perdón, quería ponerlo en traducciones y me he equivocado de foro. Sorry. Last edited by AngelicaDeAlquezar; May 26, 2010 at 01:08 PM. Reason: Thread moved on user's petition |

Only if they were gay. It is always "The King and the Queen".

"The monarchs" está correcto, aunque menos frecuente.

Kind and the queen? I think that in the begin the word THE isn't necessary.

I didn't know that. Only one of them is the monarch, unless they are William and Mary.
Edit: not wishing to be argumentative, the BNC has no hits of 'monarchs' in that sense. Last edited by Perikles; May 26, 2010 at 11:41 AM. |

Yes you're right exist the monarch word to say Kind and queen.
It words is remotely old and well just it's of the medievals times.

In English you would not say "king and the queen" but you could say "The king and queen"

Yes, you're right, I didn't realise (the king and queen, this king and queen, etc.). Many thanks. So I think I'm going to translate it into "los reyes", which is more common in Spanish.
Many thanks. |

I'm sure I've seen it in the Times with reference to Juan Carlos I and Sofia, but I can't Google up a reference. Hmm.

Could they be referenced as "The King and his queen"?
