maybe: must complete some of the following prerequisites.
I would think they would mention how many reprequistes need to be fillled.
Obviously algun sounds really vague.
3 of the 5?
or
2 of the 7?

Dice uno o algunos?

Algunos = at least two of them. :D

Else they would say 3 or 4 or 5 of the requirements.

El Bono Social está en toda España, no sólo en Tenerife. :D

Con tener contratada una potencia inferior a 3 KW, ser persona física y que la vivienda sea de uso habitual, creo que ya puedes pedirlo. ;)

El estaba hablando de que las instrucciones no estaban claras... Quería saber de todas los requisitos enumerados/listados cuantos de eso debía uno tener para poder calificar.

Ahora tengo curiosidad a la leyenda del folleto... :D

I'm now nearly sure that you need to fulfill one of the four requirements, but what constitutes numerous in family size? Not clear enough in my opinion.:shh: :DI think Spain needs to hire some native English speakers to make their simple official documents more precise:D

que cumplan alguno de los siguientes requisitos

?:thinking: (pjt was too cryptic :D)

Edit: It has just dawned on me that alguno can mean one or any. I thought it meant just some. This error is so basic that nobody saw what my problem was. I'm now going off to drown myself.

I think I may have been the only person to assume you were copying what it said without introducing errors.

I think I may have been the only person to assume you were copying what it said without introducing errors.Tell me - would you have understood alguno as one or any in this context, and not some? :thinking: Is this unambiguous?
