"Mr. Pérez has a cell phone."

Translation: El señor Pérez tiene un celular.

[KHess5]

Why is it not okay to just say ¨Señor Perez tiene un celular?

[RubioRiver1]

Cuz you are talking with second person about 3rd person thats why (el)

[mathman1024]

Thank you for that clarification. So the "el" is dropped when speaking directly to them, correct?

[Helenita275659]

Let's say you talk to someone about ANOTHER PERSON (HE):
- El Señor Pérez tiene un celular.
( Did you know that Mr. Pérez has a cell phone?)

---

Now you speak directly to Mr. Pérez:
- Mr. Pérez, do you have a cell phone?

[hadamadrin4]

Yes, you tener razon

[AishaC.Rod]

Idk dude or gurl

[RafaTsia]

Telefono movil coudn't translate to cell phone?

[AdrMark]

May not. Mobile phone is better translate to "teléfono móvil" and cellphone as "Celular" or " Telefono celular"

[ClaraSanch183267]

A ver esto es espñol de españa no de Latino América y cell phone en español de España es móvil

[Kelly_Importa]

"Telefono cellular" was not accepted, IT IS AN EXACT TRANSLATION! "Celular" is correct but not as concise.

[Ani447705]

I can never remember when I should be putting El, it just seems so unnecessary to me :(

[rpiereck]

Welcome to Latin langauges.

[MykiraKing]

I missed el

[celine149141]

Why is it not 'tienes' ?

[Oliver482382]

Grrr! I thought the El was there to try and catch me out. In a way it did! :(

[Isa_Chan23]

I don't agree

[rlp954181]

They marked "teléfono celular." wrong! That makes no sense.

[Liz824612]

couldn't it also be "tiene un teléfono celular"?

[Mikayla40657]

Why cant I just use telefono???

[JosephTeh]

Pretty sure movil means the same thing

[salva578712]

No se dice celular se dice teléfono!!!

[TonyHampto4]

I said cellular and got it wrong. :(

[Sheila433415]

The English sentence says cell phone but the Spanish translation only says cellular please explain this. Why is un celular telefone incorrect?

[bry325394]

Still can’t understand why el has to be included. Does not make sense to me

[esincelik]

Why El Señor, only Señor wrong?

[VL.Camacho]

The "el" doesn't seem right..

[VL.Camacho]

I was never taught to use the "el" like that in school

[Jaref14]

El is Definitely no needed here.

[JohnRobiso8]

"The Mr. Pérez" sounds perfectly natural.

[rpiereck]

Porque no "teléfono celular"?

[MermaidUni4]

I accidentally erase one of the words

[Consequenc6]

No....im going to go play Apex Legends now.
