Nuestro asiento - unfinished previous question

Hola,

The example given is "No vimos nada desde nuestro asiento" and is translated as "We couldn't see anything from our seats." Should the phrase read "desde nuestros / nuestras asientos?

My dictionary says 'hran' is only before masculine nouns, but you say m&f. Is there a difference in dialects? Got it wrong using dictionary.Dictionary is Webster's New Spanish Dictionary with Latin American Spanish.

Using todo

Yesterday in a store I said to the owner "tiene todo." I was trying to say "you have everything."

He replied (I think) "tengo de todo." I wasn't sure if he was correcting me or not.

Did I get my question right? What was he saying?

Thanks so much, Tony

For the following question, is "echar" the best choice? Looking it up in a couple dictionaries, it would seem that extrañar would be a better choice?Usted ________ echar de menos el perfume de su mujer.You used to miss your wife's perfume.I wasn't able to find "miss" as a definition for "echar". Is that a common usage, or could people misinterpret that sentence?

Confusing translation

I'm confused by the translation of ¡Que me ensucias la camisa! (You will get my shirt dirty). Can the following structures be translated similarly (e.g., you will get my shirt dirty).

¡Que ensucias la camisa mia! o ¡Que ensucias la camisa de mi!

Gracias por todo.

"siendo su cifra ofical de habitantes de …. personas "

hola

does this literally mean " its official number of inhabitants being xxx personas" ?

I am confused with the word order: can you also say " su cifra oficial siendo.xxx.." ?

I feel putting " siendo" at the beginning demands a number first . Such as " xxx siendo su cifra"

Could you elaborate ?

Muchas gracias!
