Dirección completa

[irmamar]

How would I write "dirección completa" in English? For instance:

Escriba su dirección completa (calle, nombre de calle, número, piso, puerta, localidad, etc.) en la casilla:

Write your complete address...? :thinking:

Thanks. :)

[poli]

Yes. Write you complete address (or full address) is the correct was of saying it.

[irmamar]

Thanks, Poli. Full is better than complete?

[poli]

Thanks, Poli. Is full better than complete?
Verdaderamente no. Son intercambiables.

[irmamar]

Thanks. :) :rose:

A mí me suena más idiomático "full address".

[irmamar]

But complete is good enough, isn't it?

[AngelicaDeAlquezar]

I've always heard "full name" for "nombre completo", so my guess is "full address" is more commonly used. :thinking:

[CrOtALiTo]

Yes. Write you complete address (or full address) is the correct was of saying it.

Yes I believe it's the more correct.

Please you give me your full address.

Se entiende pero para mi suena a traducida.

[ROBINDESBOIS]

Personally I think they are interchangable.

[Perikles]

I would always say 'full postal address'. I've never heard 'complete address'.:)

Google counts for what they're worth:


{|}"full address" | 2,690,000
{|}"full mailing address" | 127,000
{|}"full postal address" | 2,790,000
{|}"complete address" | 3,050,000
{|}"complete mailing address" | 271,000
{|}"complete postal address" | 275,000
{|}"mailing address" | 19,700,000
{|}"postal address" | 6,980,000

And corpus counts:


{|} | BNC (100m words) | COCA (400m words)
{|}"full address" | 24 | 25
{|}"full mailing address" | 0 | 1
{|}"full postal address" | 4 | 0
{|}"complete address" | 0 | 16
{|}"complete mailing address" | 0 | 5
{|}"complete postal address" | 0 | 0
{|}"mailing address" | 5 | 164
{|}"postal address" | 16 | 59
So "complete" seems to be an Americanism.
