Me: Hola. Buenos días. ¿Cuando es tu cumpleaños?

Neighbor: Mi cumpleaños es el 5 de mayo, y tu?

Me: Mi cumpleaños es el 19 de junio. Gracias. Adiós.

Neighbor: De nada. Adiós.

Answer 2

Firstly, we must assume that my neighbor in Mrs. Jones. The possible dialogue that applies according to the topics is:

• Yo: Buenos días señora Jones, discúlpeme, ¿podría decirme cuándo es su cumpleaños?
• Señora Jones: Mi cumpleaños es el 23 de enero.
• Yo: Mi cumpleaños es el 18 de agosto. Muchas gracias por contarme, ¡Qué tenga un buen día!
• Señora Jones: Hasta pronto.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll show you the translation of the conversation written:

• Me: Good morning Mrs. Jones, excuse me, could you tell me when is your birthday?
• Mrs. Jones: My birthday is on January 23.
• Me: My birthday is on August 18. Thank you very much for telling me, Have a nice day!
• Mrs. Jones: See you soon.

It's not normal to ask the birthday of a person in Spanish, for this reason, first must be an apology, next to ask about the birthday and to thank the answer, all this considering that we are referring to an older person who deserves a lot of respect. Once we are grateful, we can say bye with a sentence a little more familiar than "goodbye", as long as respect is maintained.
