How do you say ...
Hi !

How do you say " Où dois-je le mettre / le poser ? " ou "Où dois-je poser ça / mettre ça" in english ?

What it's difficult for me is the use of "Où/ Where" with " "Mettre/Poser - Put ..on".

Thanks for your answer.

Good evening.

Answer

Yes, that's right, Kyle.
To be a purist you could say "Where do I have to put that" or "Where must I put that" seeing that it's "dois" rather than "devrais".
I think Chrispy is trying to translate mettre/poser as the phrasal verb "put on", whereas "put" on its own is fine.
If you wanted to keep it as a phrasal verb you could say:
What do I have to put that on?
Chrispy - is my attempted translation of this last sentence OK? --- Sur quoi dois-je le poser/mettre?

Answer

I agree with the other members. The natural way to translate 'Où dois-je le mettre' is

'Where should I put it?'

You don't need the 'on'. The verb you want is simply 'put'.

Answer

The translation would be: Where should I put that?

The construction of the sentence follows the same word order here.
