Does this mean it has just one floor?

Discussion

psicutrinius May 27, 2008:
Decidedly, typo "habemus". "En planta" means this, one floor. "en plata" means "in silver". Not even Warren Buffett can afford that, I am afraid...
Patricia Rosas May 27, 2008:
plata? is it "planta"?
Luis Javier Otoya May 27, 2008:
Is it "en planta" instead of "en plata"?

a single-floor dwelling

Firstly it must be planta as everyone agrees. The only thing that the text says is that it is one floor, not that the building is although it could be. The dwelling, not necessarily an apartment however, is of only one floor. You can have plata piso 1, planta piso 2, etc. Doesn't seem like there is a very fixed definition from what I googled

A one-floor apartment

Obviously Planta and not Plata.

a floor area

Assuming you're dealing with a typo and "Plata" should read "planta",then your text reads "...dwelling with a floor area of some 140m2..."
Peer comment(s):

agree Kenneth Powers : Your answer is correct but badly frased, "en planta piso" is not "floor area", but the translation you put after is correct
