Thanks - that is now two people who have translated cumplan alguno de los siguientes requisitos as comply with the following requirements.

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?

You would think so, wouldn't you? But oh no - they are not going to tell you exactly which combination of criteria is required. This is Tenerife, don't forget.

Dice uno o algunos?

Algunos = at least two of them.

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

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

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...

Alguno de ... (a), (b), o (c)

Sorry - I still don't get it.

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. I think Spain needs to hire some native English speakers to make their simple official documents more precise

OK - but then why do they say

que cumplan alguno de los siguientes requisitos

? (pjt was too cryptic )

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.

You finally saw the light. That's what is important.

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? Is this unambiguous?
