Whether you’re a newcomer to Spain or you’ve lived there for years, there are a few things you should know about saying “No, No!” in Spanish.
Time
Using time in Spanish is not complicated. You only need a few words to express time and that is it. It is not the same as the weather, but it is important to know how to say time in Spanish.
There are a few key rules to using time in Spanish. For instance, the word es (which is the plural form of esar) is used only for one o’clock. You might use the phrase “es la una y cuarto” to describe one o’clock in the morning. The only exception to this rule is “es la una.”
There are also a few other verbs used in Spanish to describe time. The most common one is ser (which is the third person singular form of ser). In some Latin American Spanish speaking countries, the phrase Que hora son may be used instead of Que hora es.
Other time related words you may use are the media and the menos. The media indicates a half hour while the menos is a minus sign. These words are important to know because they allow you to express time in a numerical form. You can say “it is half an hour until 8:00” if you know that the half hour is the smallest unit of time in the Spanish language.
Another useful time-related phrase is “el momento.” This is the Latin word for “the moment.” It is used to describe a certain time event. You can use it like the English “moment”. It is also used to describe a period of time, such as “half past six.” You might want to learn this one too.
Greetings
Greetings in Spanish are essentially “Hello.” However, there are some different greetings in Spanish that can be used depending on the context and relationship. The list below is not comprehensive. In fact, some of these greetings are region-specific. For example, “Hla” is used in the Dominican Republic. “Ey, cuanto tiempo?” is a very simple joke that can impress a native speaker.
Another form of greeting in Spanish is “como estas?” which means “How are you?”. You can use this phrase to greet people you don’t know very well. You can also ask “What’s your name?” in Spanish.
You can also ask “Que pasa?” which is similar to “What’s up?”. You can also ask “Where have you been?” if you don’t know anyone very well. This is also a very informal way to greet people.
A more formal way to greet people is “No estámos viendo” which means “We’re leaving.” This is usually used with people you don’t see often or people you don’t know well. You can also say “Hasta luego” which means “See you later.” This is used in schools and stores.
There is also a form of informal Spanish greeting called “Bienvenida.” This is used by women only. This is also used with guests.
Lastly, you can use the phrase “Buenos dias” to greet people. This is a formal greeting in Spanish. It is not as informal as “hello” and it is used in the same way as “hello” in English. You can also use it to greet people who are older than you.
Polite responses
Having good manners in Spanish can help you build better business connections and smooth the way for a mutual understanding. It can also help you relax and enjoy your time in a social situation. The following phrases are a few of the most common Spanish expressions of courtesy. They are also easy to memorize and can be used in nearly any situation.
Gracias is the most common response to “thank you”. It can be said in a formal or informal manner. If you are in a good mood, you can even say Y tu.
Gracias is also a good phrase to learn for kids. If someone sneezes, you can respond with “salud”. You can also say “Gracias, Gracias, Gracias”.
If someone asks you a question, you can use “?Mande?” to ask them to repeat what they have just said. You can also use it to wish them good health or even money.
If someone is polite enough to leave you with a gift, you can thank them with “Gracias, buena, buena, buena”, or “Gracias, buena, o buena”. These are all good Spanish expressions of courtesy.
If someone sneezes in Spanish, they will probably use “salud” to say thank you. You can also say “Gracias, buena, un buena”.
If you want to get by, you can say “permito” or “a buena”. These phrases are a bit more formal than the previous options, but are still appropriate for younger and older Spanish speakers alike.
Numbers
Whether you’re speaking Spanish for fun or business, learning how to say numbers in Spanish can be a useful skill. Although it is possible to use numbers to mean the same thing in English, the differences between Spanish and English may be subtle.
One of the first things you should know about Spanish numbers is that they don’t have a definite article. This means that the “one” or “uno” must agree with the noun it refers to. This is not the case with numbers in English, where the definite article is used. The only exception is when a number has three digits, such as the US, where “and” is only used after the decimal point.
The word “one” is used in Spanish before feminine nouns, while “una” is used before masculine nouns. The “one” and “uno” are also used in counting. This is because they are both important when it comes to the number system.
The simplest way to count in Spanish is by using tens and ones. For larger numbers, you may need to add a y between the second and third digits.
The Spanish number 100 is called the cien. A lesser known number, it is also called the ciento uno. You’ll find it easiest to spell if you remember that Spanish doesn’t have the y in ciento uno.
The Spanish number 1000 is also easy to spell. However, it’s not always the easiest to say. The best way to get a sense of the number is by looking at the context. For example, you might find that a million is a good measure of the number.
No problem
Using the Spanish phrase no problem is a great way to let people know that you’re fine. It’s a neutral way to say that you don’t have a problem, and it can be used in both formal and informal situations. The phrase can also be used to say “thank you” in Spanish.
One of the first phrases that you will learn in Spanish is de nada. It is a friendly way to say that “it’s nothing” or “it doesn’t matter”. This phrase is often used as a way to say “you’re welcome” and to thank someone for a favor.
Another phrase you might encounter in Spanish is no te preocupes. This phrase is used in a formal way. You might be told that you can say no te preocupes whenever you want. This phrase is also used to downplay good deeds.
In Spanish, you can also say no hay problemas, which means no problem. This phrase is easy to remember, and is not a difficult word to pronounce. You can also say no hay bronca, which is a Mexican slang expression that means no biggie. You can also say no te preocupes followed by no pasa nada, which means nothing happens. You can also say no problemo, which is a joke Spanish phrase that many English speakers use.
No hay problema is the best way to say “no problem” in Spanish. It is also the most common Spanish phrase that you’ll hear. You can also use it in a variety of situations, such as letting someone know that you’re fine or responding to an apology.
