The one on the right I took today in Malaga on the boulevard near the harbour a nice way to avoid a bit of sun.
I forgot the other one we saw last week in Sevilla and covers almost a whole square. I don't know what the people of Seville think about this structure...
I like this idea but in a modern part of a city not in an old one.
great textures and patterns - @fbailey@peadar - I'm sure I was taught rooves in primary school and then roofs in secondary, so I think it changed part way through. Although hooves still looks right.
@shannejw@fbailey Your recollection resonates with my own. In fact, I still have to check myself when using 'roofs', which is now the common form. 'Hooves' is definitely still the given form but I suspect will end up in the same literary repository eventually.
@fbailey@peadar@shannejw It’s interesting to see this discussion here. Highschool is a long time ago for me, so I can’t really remember what I have learned about the plural of the word roof.
I think what I see on tv (BBC and American series) and what I read (and that is mostly English) influenced me. My Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary of Current English-1974 uses a ~s for plural. 😉
@angelikavr Thank you Angelika, The one in Malaga is a stand alone on the boulevard and the buildings near to it are fairly modern. But the one in Sevilla is in an older part of the city and while I love the structure very much I don’t think it fits very well :)
