"Dove passerai le vacanze?"

Translation: Where will you spend your vacation?

[tgmattison]

"where will you go on vacation" is the same thing.

[f.formica]

That has a direct equivalent in the Italian "dove andrai in vacanza?". The difference is that I might not go anywhere on my holidays, and simply spend them at home.

[Tony61164]

Then the answer will be "nowhere"!!

[nikmacgregor]

"le vacanze" sounds like it should be plural vacations or holidays

[Germanlehrerlsu]

It's grammatically plural but can be translated as a singular as others have suggested.

[sivo64]

"Where will you spend vacation?" is correct in American English.

[valerieheath]

Where will you spend "the vacation"?
or Where will you "vacation"?
or "Where will you "holiday"?
or "Where will you spend "the holiday/s"?

[callsharon]

I've lived in many American states for a long lifetime and I've never heard or read this phrase. Where is it used and by what group?

[DrewWoodall]

I've lived in many American states too, for a long lifetime, and heard it frequently. I have lived most of my life in California--both northern and southern. Also, "where will you spend your three day weekend?"

[lucaturilli]

Do Italians prefer 'le vacanze' to 'la vacanza'?

[andersonweibel]

Have lived in America for 67 years and have never said or heard "pass the vacation" used.

[Pitou63]

"Where will you take your vacation" is also very commonly asked in Canadian English. This translation seems closer to the Italian meaning than "spend". Reported

[MatthewJac769238]

In England you would never say where will you pass the holidays like the answer gives. Too literal a translation. We would say where will you take or where will you spend the holiday.

[skwysham]

Pass as in "pass the time."

[AshBansal]

Whoever says "where will you pass your vacation" in the English speaking countries?

[GC1998]

Where will you go on holiday is not accepted. I've reported it.

[padulli]

You dont pass holidays in English it does not make sense

[EnchantedApril]

I wrote, "Where will you go on vacation?" To me, it would elicit the same response, e.g. "In Italy." I do sometimes ask "How will you spend your vacation?" In which case the answer might be, "I'm painting the house."
I'll try to pay more attention to give a more literal response.

[LindaSpiroXhardo]

Le vacanze # your holiday
Le vacanze=the holiday

[ArtieSF]

Passerei le miei vacanze in Italia.

[uomodiBalm]

Let's try non-American English : Where will you holiday?

[waltercade]

why your vacation rather than the vacation??? what is proper to you about the words le vacanze???
