Metro y medio

Metro y medio
 

Hello!

Does anybody know what the Spanish expression METRO Y MEDIO mean?

Sverre

a meter and a half.............

does it have a double meaning?

It's like saying "yard and a half"

Now, as Elaina states, depending on context, it might mean something else...

One and a half underground rail systems....

Here is the quotation. It is perhaps easier then:

Ecuador no estará en Suráfrica porque Suazo aprovechó un control nefasto de Millar que le dejó el balón muerto a metro y medio del portero.

A meter and a half (about five feet) from the goalie.

I did not think that it was that easy

Sometimes it is......isn't that great?

;)

But you need to be more specific in the length that you need to describe.

I mean. I can guess that you are asking us.

For instance, Tengo un cable de metro y medio.

Mido metro y medio.

Therefore I don't know which one is the expression that you need to know.

Sincerely it could expressed itself as Meter and half.

SOmetimes when we talk about sb´s height, we use this expression to mean that the person is too short.

Hi Rondesbois

That was interesting information. Spanish is your language?
