En el botiquín del baño también guardamos crema solar, tiritas y un termómetro.

Botiquín can mean either one, depending on context:

• a medicine cabinet
• a first-aid kit

In En el botiquín del baño..., because it says del baño (of the bathroom / in the bathroom), many learners will understand it as the bathroom medicine cabinet.

So in this sentence, botiquín del baño is most naturally something like the bathroom medicine cabinet.

Because de + el contracts to del in Spanish.

So:

• de + el baño → del baño

This is a very common contraction:

• al = a + el
• del = de + el

You normally must use the contraction when de is followed by el.

En means in or inside here.

So:

• En el botiquín = In the medicine cabinet

Spanish often begins a sentence with a location phrase like this, just as English can:

• In the bathroom cabinet, we also keep...

It sets the scene before telling you what is kept there.

También means also / too.

Here it tells us that the items listed are additional things kept there:

• también guardamos... = we also keep...

Its position is flexible in Spanish, but también guardamos is very natural.

Compare:

• También guardamos crema solar... = We also keep sunscreen...
• Guardamos también crema solar... = also possible, slightly different rhythm

Guardamos comes from guardar, which often means:

• to keep
• to store
• to put away

So guardamos here means we keep/store these things in the cabinet.

Why not tenemos?

• tenemos = we have
• guardamos = we keep/store

Both could make sense, but guardamos emphasizes where the items are kept rather than simply possessing them.

Guardamos is the 1st person plural present tense of guardar:

• yo guardo = I keep
• tú guardas = you keep
• él/ella guarda = he/she keeps
• nosotros/nosotras guardamos = we keep
• ellos/ellas guardan = they keep

So guardamos means we keep.

Spanish often leaves out the subject pronoun because the verb ending already shows the subject.
So instead of saying nosotros guardamos, Spanish commonly just says guardamos.

Because Spanish usually drops subject pronouns when they are not needed.

The ending -amos already tells you the subject is we.

So:

• (Nosotros) guardamos = we keep

Including nosotros is possible, but it would usually add emphasis or contrast.

In lists of items, Spanish often omits the article when speaking in a general sense.

So:

• guardamos crema solar, tiritas y un termómetro
• literally: we keep sunscreen, bandages, and a thermometer

This is similar to English, where we also usually say:

• We keep sunscreen, bandages, and a thermometer not
• We keep the sunscreen, the bandages, and the thermometer

If you added articles, it could sound more specific:

• la crema solar = the specific sunscreen
• las tiritas = the specific bandages

This is a very natural pattern in Spanish lists.

• crema solar is treated like an uncountable/general item (sunscreen)
• tiritas is plural and general (bandages / plasters)
• un termómetro is a singular countable object (a thermometer)

So Spanish often says:

• crema solar = sunscreen
• tiritas = bandages
• un termómetro = a thermometer

It is not unusual for a list to mix these patterns.

In Spain, tirita means an adhesive bandage / sticking plaster / Band-Aid.

So:

• tiritas = bandages / plasters / Band-Aids

This is very common in Peninsular Spanish.
It is especially useful to know because a learner might expect a different word from Latin American Spanish.

In Spain, tirita is extremely natural in everyday speech.

It is very common and natural in Spain.

You may also hear:

• protector solar
• crema protectora solar

But crema solar is simple, common, and very idiomatic in Spain.

Spanish lists work like English lists:

• item 1, item 2 y item 3

So:

• crema solar, tiritas y un termómetro

The y means and and links the final item to the rest of the list.

Spanish punctuation usually does not use the Oxford comma before y.

So the standard form is:

• crema solar, tiritas y un termómetro

not usually:

• crema solar, tiritas, y un termómetro

That matches normal Spanish punctuation.

The structure is:

• En el botiquín del baño = location
• también = also
• guardamos = verb
• crema solar, tiritas y un termómetro = direct object / things kept

So the pattern is roughly:

Location + also + verb + items

Spanish word order is flexible, but this order is very natural.

Yes, that is possible.

Both are correct:

• En el botiquín del baño también guardamos crema solar...
• En el botiquín del baño guardamos también crema solar...

The first one is a bit more neutral and common in this kind of sentence.
Placing también before the verb often sounds very natural when you mean we also keep.

Because the stress falls on the last syllable: bo-ti-QUÍN.

Spanish spelling rules require a written accent on words ending in n, s, or a vowel when the stress is on the final syllable.

So:

• botiquín needs the accent

Without the accent, the pronunciation rules would suggest a different stress pattern.

Because the stress is on the final syllable: tam-BIÉN.

As with botiquín, it ends in n, so if the stress is final, Spanish writes an accent mark.

So:

• también = correct
• tambien = incorrect

Yes, depending on context.

• el baño can mean the bathroom
• it can also refer to a bath

In el botiquín del baño, it clearly means the bathroom.

So here:

• del baño = of the bathroom / in the bathroom

Yes.

Guardamos is the present indicative of guardar.

So the sentence means something like:

• We also keep sunscreen, bandages, and a thermometer in the bathroom medicine cabinet.

It describes a usual or current situation, not a one-time action.

A rough pronunciation guide is:

en el bo-tee-KEEN del BAN-yo tam-bee-EN gwar-DA-mos KRE-ma so-LAR, tee-REE-tas ee oon ter-MO-me-tro

A few key points:

• botiquín → stress on -quín
• baño → ñ sounds like the ny in canyon
• también → stress on -bién
• guardamos → the gu sounds like gw

Yes, that is a very good close translation.

A natural English version would be:

• We also keep sunscreen, bandages, and a thermometer in the bathroom medicine cabinet.

A more literal version is:

• In the bathroom medicine cabinet, we also keep sunscreen, bandages, and a thermometer.

Both reflect the Spanish well.
