Estate pendiente a ver si encontramos un sitio donde aparcar.

[Mustermisstler]

Hello everyone,

I'd like to translate the following sentence into English :

• Estate pendiente a ver si encontramos un sitio donde aparcar.

My attempts :

• Be on the lookout for a place to park our car.
• Look out for a parking spot.
• Keep your eyes peeled for a parking spot.

Thanks

The middle and bottom one sound good to me - although in British English we're more likely to say space instead of spot.

I think I would say:-

"Look out for somewhere to park."

Or if the context is obviously parking:-

"Look out for a space."

 

[rajulbat]

Keep an eye out for a parking spot.

We say parking space and parking spot interchangeably in the U.S.

 

[OtroLencho]

Keep an eye out for a parking spot.

That seems most natural/common to these U.S. ears.

• Be on the lookout for a place to park our car.
• Look out for a parking spot.
• Keep your eyes peeled for a parking spot.

Those all sound good to me (although I'd change "our car" to "the car" or just omit it), as do the other suggestions given above.

When I'm driving, I often tell my wife "Help me look for a parking space," since I have to keep my eyes on the road, etc.
