"I have a puppy with the veterinarian."

Translation: Eu am un cățel la veterinar.

[TassieGorilla]

The vet and I are giving birth to a puppy together???

[ocalex86]

Why do we use "la" here instead of "cu"?

[razvan.marin]

Cause we basically say we have it at the veterinarian. Not sure how it should be really said in English (with or at) or if there's a difference between them.

[ocalex86]

Oh, does the sentence mean that we are getting a newborn puppy at the veterinarian? The way I understood the English was more that me and the veterinarian are having a puppy.

[razvan.marin]

Correct! And now that I think of it, I fully agree with your interpretation of the English version. If we'd want to say that, then indeed we would say: cu veterinarul.

[CiprianHanu]

AT is correct

[Cosmobeve]

Why "un catelus" and not just "un catel"...?

[max9129]

Hi, cățeluș is another way to say cățel - like a diminutiv (belittling) to express more that it's smaller/cuter.

[CarrieSlus]

What about the -us ending on catel that actually appears on this answer selection? That is new! And it is not reflected above.

[Ursu_Brun]

It is a diminutive of cățel (sort of... puppylet, as a pun on piglet).

[Bart249088]

So :"my puppy is with the veterinarian"?

[-Afina-]

The English sentence is not realy correct in this case. It should to be I have a puppy at the vet(erinarin).

[Miepsa1]

No children?
