How do I say "Please change the linen" in spanish?

[happymom]

I know the "por favor" part, but thats all! :)

This is in reference to linen on the beds, in case that wasnt clear.

Thanks!

I couldn't remember how to say sheets, but I found it in my dictionary. I think I would say, "Can you please change the bed sheets?" That would be, "Por favor, puede usted cambiar las sabanas de cama?" That's with an accent on the first "a" in sabanas. "Cama" means bed, so I would throw that part in to make it clearer. You can also say "Puedes cambiar"--that is the informal, but "Puede usted" shows more respect, IMO.

If you want to say it as more of a command, it would be "Por favor, cambie las sabanas," but I would tend to go with it as a polite question.

HTH

Puede cambiar las sabanas, por favor?

Does it say something about me that I the only Spanish words I know are push & breathe?

LOL. Are you a doula by any chance?

Yeah, just chiming in to echo what PP said... or you could say, in command form, "Cambia las sábanas, por favor." That's if you've got a more informal/ casual relationship w/the person, otherwise "Cambie las sábanas, por favor" or "¿Puede cambiar las sábanas, por favor?" :)
