    Default A few words please

    Hello,
    How would one say this in Spanish (en Méjico), in polite usted-form?

    Thank you very much (/kindly) for your reply.

    Do you know if I can find the CD somewhere else?

    Or: Perhaps you know if I can find the CD somewhere else?
    Something like that, it doesn't have to be literal.

    I'm also wondering how to say "it is pronounced..." in European and/or American Spanish. (When you wish to clarify the pronunciation of a written foreign word. For example, if it's spelled with two L:s but is pronounced like with one L.)
    Is it possible to say "es pronunciado.."?

    Thank you very much!

    ¿Sabe donde podría conseguir el CD? o ¿Me podría decir en qué lugar lo encuentro?

    In all the three cases there are many others possibilities, hope more people could participate even from others countries, it would be interesting see how they use it

    Cheers!

    Thank you very much (once again) for your help, speculumcm - the different alternatives are great!

    If I wanted to say "I pronounce it ... ", would that be "estoy pronunciarla ..."? (Or is it better to say "it is pronounced ..." in that situation as well?)

    In that case is, "Yo la pronuncio". But I think it's more common to say "se pronuncia" at least it's what I would use.
