Telling a Taxi Driver Where to Turn

You're in a taxi and directing the driver with turn-by-turn instructions.

You
En la siguiente calle, doble a la izquierda, por favor.
en lah see-GYEHN-teh KAH-yeh, DOH-bleh ah lah ees-KYEHR-dah, por fah-BOR.
At the next street, turn left, please.
"Doble" is the formal command form of "doblar" (to turn). Use it when speaking to taxi drivers.
Driver

EHS-tah KAH-yeh ah-KEE?
This street here?
You
No, la siguiente. Y luego doble a la derecha.
noh, lah see-GYEHN-teh. ee LWEH-goh DOH-bleh ah lah deh-REH-chah.
No, the next one. And then turn right.
Driver
Listo. ¿Algo más adelante?
LEES-toh. AHL-goh mahs ah-deh-LAHN-teh?
Got it. Anything further ahead?
"Listo" literally means "ready" but is widely used to mean "got it" or "done."
You
Sí, pare aquí en la esquina, por favor.

Yes, stop here on the corner, please.
"Pare" is the formal command for "stop." You'll also see it on stop signs.
