i wanted to write:
mil gracias por su respuesta
(a thousand thank-yous for your answer.)
but instead just wrote:
mil gracias por su repuesto
(a thousand thank-yous for your spare.)
at least i didn't write:
a thousand thank-yous for your (part of anatomy)
or something equally as inappropriate.
Sometimes it works though--that's how I got the lamp hanging about my dining room table in Atitlan. I meant to ask the restaurant manager "dondo puedo comprar?" but I forgot "donde" so it was just "can I buy"!
