Bored with my work so I thought you might like a language class.
Lesson one - Beer
Cerveza
/therbetha/ is a generic word rarely used when ordering in a bar (just as asking for "a beer" in a pub in the UK is a bit strange).
This is a
caña /canya/. It is about 25 cl.
Next up size-wise is a
tubo /toobo/ or a
doble /doblay/, about 33 cl
Here's one I drank earlier...
Finally, and probably more appealingly, we have the
jarra /hara/ which is normally 50-70 cl.
If you want a bottle, then ask for a
tercio /terthio/
A
tercio de Mahou, pictured yesterday...
If you want alcohol free, ask for a
caña/tubo/jarra/tercio sin alcohol /sin alcol/. If you want a shandy , ask for a
clara (pronounced as you would expect) or a
clara grande . If you want it made with Fanta Lemon, ask for a
clara de limón.
Pretty much all bars except Irish pubs and disco bars will give you something to eat - crisps, olives, some ham or chorizo, more exciting things sometimes. These are
always free
