How to write an address as regards living in a block of flat
|
Hello fellow teachers Block of flats are extremely popular in Poland.I am wondering how to write somebody �s address. We write such addresses this way : Klonowa 12/2 01-051 Warsaw woj. mazowieckie (street �s name ) Klonowa 12/2, where 12 stands for the number of the block of flat in which somebody lives, whereas 2 means the number of flat 01-051 Warsaw 00-051 is the zip code woj. mazowieckie means region I have come across a stange word in a dictionary , namely voiviodship. I guess that such a word doesn �t exist. Am I right ? Do you read 12/2 as slash ? Do you pronounce 0 in 01-051 as zero ? How do you pronounce the number of a bus, e.g. 302 three hundred and two or three zero two ? Thanks for your help. HAND |

USA:
325 Short Steet Apt. 3a
Newton, CA 93444
325= street number
apt. 3a = apartment number
Newton= town/city
CA= state code (California in this case)
93444= zip (post) code |

I also see in the USA apartment addresses like this:
119-D Eugene Street
Knoxville, TN 37917
The D is the apartment number in this case, and the state is Tennessee. This, of course, is a made-up address, although this is a ZIP code used in Knoxville. Someone else asked the same question a few weeks ago, but I couldn�t find the thread. |

Australia:
2/12 Klonowa
WARSAW 01-051 WOJ MAZOWIECKIE
or
Flat 2, 12 Klonowa
WARSAW 01-051 WOJ MAZOWIECKIE
"voiviodship � seems to be the Polish word for province
Do you read 12/2 as slash? - for an address where the flat no is 2 and the street no is 12 we we usually just say "two, twelve Klonowa" or "unit two, twelve Klonowa"
Do you pronounce 0 in 01-051 as zero ? We usually say "oh one oh five one" but some people do say zero instead
How do you pronounce the number of a bus, e.g. 302 three hundred and two or three zero two ? - "three oh two"
Moody - the previous thread is here
Hope this helps
Cheers
