apt.23, 34 DDD str., City, ZIP code. Explanation: I am not a navive speaker, of course, however this version seems quite ok to me. Also, in university we studied business correspondece using a book published in the UK and the adresses there were written in this format. |

кв.23 дом 34 по улице ДДД Flat 23, 34 Ddd St., Tallinn 12345 Explanation: It is better to write 'Flat' instead of fl. (it seemed a bit odd to me, I checked the dictionary and didn't find it there either). If it should be UK English, Flat is better than Apartment because Apt. is usually a single room in UK (according to the Oxford Dic). St. is a standard abbreviation for Street. I would not write it as '23-34' because if both numbers were odd or even it could be mistaken for a number of the building (notations like '52-58' or '67-71' are used for building numbers - see the link below). Corporation of London ... Agent, CMC Architects Ltd, (Attention: Martin Gillespie) Gibson House, 57-61 Burleigh Street, Cambridge, CB1 1DJ. Date of Decision, 7 Sep 2000. ... www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/Corporation/our_services/developmen... planning_apps/register/data/51/5117.htm So, if you want to do without Flat or Apt., 23/34 Ddd St. would be fine. 'Flat' and 'St(reet)' should start with a capital letter. And the last, if an address is going to be used for sending letters to Estonia from overseas, then it is better to write it in Estonian (Just the name of the country should be in English). |
