You'll have to explain that. Why do you have to ask for it?

[Music]

I was told once that baso was a cup? Not sure about spelling either let me know someone?

[AnnaC]

It's spelled vaso but sounds like baso when spoken. That b-v thingy

Taza or copa is used for cup.

Thanks Anna!
Copo is Portuguese so I'll remember copa easily

I guess you could have "una copa de vino" depending on the kind it's made of. Like the old days of the round table when they used metal cups to drink vine.

Ok someone else help us.

Okay Anna I will use la taza or el vaso depending on what I'm drinking.
We will await for others to help out!
