Help please my Spanish is very poor

[Daisymay1]

Hi, I wonder if we could pick your brains as our Spanish is so very poor and we need some help if anybody can help please we would be very grateful.

We are looking for a name for our cave and as I was born in a house called Sunny Bank and the cave might be the last place I end up, so I like the idea of calling it this but want to get it right in spanish, so far I have

Cueva Banco Sol

Cueva del banco sol

Cueva banco soleado

Is banco right for a bank on a hillside rather than where you keep your cash as Google translate and various other people have given conflicting information and we would really like to get it right.

We also like "Cool Cave " Like in funky/trendy not cold but we could only find out that the word Quay means cool in this way but Cueva Quay which sounds a bit strange and Churrlo can mean house of ladies if you get my meaning so can't have that so back to the drawing board.

Our final choice is Cueva Indalo but guess this is fairly common but does sound nice and is short so it's still on the table.

any thoughts please would be fab - thanks in advance

I'd go for banco soleado de la cueva.

Finca Flintstone

Deja Vu

Finca Flintstone

Love it!!!

[Daisymay1]

Great suggestions but it's a cave so Finca won't work, also lots of Flintstons/barney rubble etc already in use, my real question is does Banco work in this context ie on the side of a hill/mountain reacher than a financial house?

How about 'Loma Casa Soleado'? According to Google Translate, that means Sunny Hillside Home

More info on the word 'loma' here http://www.wordreference.com/es/en/tran ... %20soleado

Edit: On the same site - maybe 'ladera' would be better? http://www.wordreference.com/es/transla ... nword=Bank

Why not just call it "Sunny Bank"?

Orilla soleada

[katy]

Orilla is the sea shore. Ribera is better. Or you could just call it Solbank

This thread is a perfect example of how you cannot translate literally

[Mowser]

Caveo sunnyo?

[markwilding]

Orilla is fine because it doesn't always translate exactly as sea shore but sometimes as waterside.
You could visit this place for example

Caveo sunnyo?

Or sunny hole in the wall

[Nimrod]

Caveo sunnyo?

Or sunny hole in the wall

Do you mean Sunny Cashpoint?

[markwilding]

Good point.
Better not call it that.
I was thinking more of the Jesse James Hole in the wall gang

[katy]

A few pubs are called the Hole in the Wall. Some might call asking for a cerveza

[Gasman]

cuesta - means a slope on a hill
I don't think you should be considering banco as this is normally a financial institution.
Encuesta - is a search ... you could use a play on words :
En-cuesta del sol - In search of the sun / in the sunny slope ??

[jhonie99]

I would use something like..........cueva de ladera soleado.

imo ladera is the appropriate word, used in some form with the rest.

[Daisymay1]

Omg this is proving very difficult !

Any thoughts on the word cool as in funky/ trendy ??

Or Indalo could I call it Cueva Indalo ?? Although it's more meaningful in the Almeria area but I like it and it's a good luck charm, any thoughts.

Although I still have not given up on Sunny Bank Cave and it must be cave as where we will be its almost part of the address, there must be a word that means the bank on a hill ( no water of any sort nearby)

Thanks a million

[Daisymay1]

Right after months of trying to figure this out we have decided to keep it simple

It will be


Cueva Soleado

Sunny Cave says it all for us really - thank you all for your input

Have a lovely weekend
