Thread: Help with "Professional Series"

I'm glad you could understand my poor Spanish mi amigo. jaja Thumbs up!

Thank you, diagonal and vecente for all your help and discussion.

Vicente, you are absolutely correct. I need to know how to translate "professional series" as it relates to lawn care products, meaning a group of products for professionals. The translation "Serie de productos profesionales" reflects what I need to say. Is it grammatically correct to say "Series Profesionales"?

Thank you

Hello ocean.

Is it grammatically correct to say "Series Profesionales"?

Well, this is the question I struggled with throughout the thread. First of all, as I understand, serie is the plural of the English word series so it would be grammatically incorrect to write it as series professional.

Furthermore, Diego says: Me pareciò que serie profesionales quedaba raro. Serie de productos profesionales suena bien
; that is, Diego says that serie profesional sounded strange, and serie de productos profesionales sounds good to him.

I still don't know if serie profesional (without the s) is grammatically correct even though it sounds strange to a native. I would go withserie de productos profesionales

(Man, I'm getting tired of writing that phrase...hahaha)

As confusing as I have made it, I hope we have helped you with you question.

Hello all,
Serie is not the Spanish plural of the word series in English. I did a little looking into it (dictionary.com, wikipedia, etc.) and in English, both singular and plural are "series." You can have one series, or a thousand series. In Spanish, it's serie for the singular and series for plural.

Serie profesional would be correct, because it's one series, one line of products, or whatever this is. Compare La Serie Mundial for The World Series. If there is a Serie Mundial, it seems there could be a serie profesional. Profesionales only works in the plural, and it is correct to say series profesionales when it's more than one series being talked about (like three different series of products). I just googled dos series mundiales and came up with 342,000 hits.

Also, I googled "serie profesional" (in quotes) and came up with 239,000 hits, which is great circumstantial evidence that serie profesional is indeed correct.

I hope this helps.

Disclaimer: Spanish is not my native language so I cannot guarantee I am absolutely correct, but the above methods are ways I find out about things.
