Phrases mexican spanish. Phrases in Spanish for a tattoo

Currently, Spain is the country most frequently visited by Russian-speaking tourists. However, for some reason, the Spaniards are in no hurry to learn Russian, however, like English. In Barcelona, Madrid and major tourist cities it is quite possible to speak English, but if you want to see non-tourist Spain, be prepared for the fact that the locals will only speak Spanish. Apparently, this is why most tourists either trustingly tie themselves to Russian-speaking hotel guides, or are constantly engaged in pantomime, communicating with the Spaniards :)
To make your stay more enjoyable and comfortable, try to memorize a few essential words and phrases in Spanish.

I want to warn you right away that Spanish may sound indecent for Russian speakers, but keep in mind that “h” is almost never read, two “ll” are read as “y”. For example,

Huevo is Spanish for "webo" (egg)
Huesos is read as "uEsos" (bones)
Perdi - “perdI” (I lost) - from the verb perder (to lose)
Dura - “fool” (lasts)
Prohibir - “probIr” (prohibit)
Debil - “debil” (weak) - often found on water bottles, means that the water is, for example, lightly carbonated.
Llevar - “yebar” (to wear). Para llevar - "para yebar" (takeaway, for example, food in a takeaway cafe)
Fallos - “fayOs” (errors)

So let's go - the most useful words and phrases in Spanish!

Greetings, farewells in Spanish

In the photo: the faster you learn a few phrases in Spanish, the more pleasant you will be on vacation :)

In Spain, to greet a person, you just need to call him Olya :)
It is written - Hola! Pronounced - a cross between "Ol I” and “Ol a”

A more formal greeting: “Good afternoon!” - Buenos dias! - pronounced "b" At enos d And ace"

Good evening! — Buenas Tardes! - “buenas tardes” - is always used in the afternoon.
Good night! — Buenas Nights! - "buenas noches" (night) - consumed after 19 hours.

To say goodbye, Spaniards rarely say the famous, thanks to Arnold Schwarzenegger, phrase “hasta la vista” (see you later). Most often they will say: “see you soon!” – Hasta luego! – “Asta luEgo”
Well, or they say “goodbye (those)” - Adios - “adyos”

Tell the interlocutor your name, for example: “my name is Anton” - Me llamo Anton - “me yamo Anton”
You can say where you are from: “I am Russian / Russian” - Soy ruso / rusa - “soy ruso / rusa”

How to ask for directions in Spanish

To practice Spanish, ask the locals for directions

Sometimes a tourist gets a little lost in the city. Then it's time to ask in Spanish:
where is…? – ?Donde esta…? – “Dongde estA?”

For example, if you are going to travel and can't find the bus station, learn the phrase in Spanish: "donde esta la parada de autobus?" Of course, a detailed answer in Spanish can be discouraging, but the Spaniard will most likely duplicate the direction with his hand :)

Street signs in the city of Figueres

To the left - Izquierda - "Isquierda"
To the right - Derecha - "derEcha"
Straight - Recto - “recto”

We ask where is the Rambla - ?Donde esta la calle Rambla? – “donde esta la caye rambla?”

Vocabulary to learn before traveling to Spain

Essential Spanish phrases that will save your life

Photo 1 of 6:© gettyimages.com

When going on a trip to the Pyrenees, do not think that you will get by with knowledge of English - a very small percentage of Spaniards speak this language, so travelers often find themselves in situations like in that joke "my friend does not understand."

We hope our readers will definitely not get into such a mess, because tochka.net prepared a small dictionary for them.

Basic Spanish Phrases - General Rules

Never hesitate to speak Spanish with Spaniards, even if your knowledge of the language is reduced to a primitive minimum. Even simple words "hello-bye" or "how are you, friend" will be enough to win over the Spaniards. Remember that in Spanish there is no reduction of sounds, i.e. All vowels must be pronounced clearly, whether they are stressed or not. Otherwise, you may not be understood or understood differently than you would like.

Also remember that the sound of the letter "H" (ache) in Spanish is not pronounced. For example, the greeting hola is pronounced "ola".
The letter v in Spanish is read as "b", or rather something in between "b" and "c".

Basic Spanish phrases - greetings and polite words

hola ("ola")- Hi Hello. Sometimes it may seem that the Spaniards were born with this word on their lips. They greet everyone constantly and with everyone: acquaintances, strangers, in a store, cafe, etc.
por favor ("por favor")- please. Any request of a well-mannered person by Spanish standards of etiquette should be accompanied by this phrase.
gracias ("gracias")- Thanks. Pay attention to the pronunciation, "gracias" is correct.
si ("yes"), no ("no"). In this country, it is customary to use "no, gracias", "si, por favor".
vale ("bale")- ok, fit
adios ("adios")- goodbye, bye. In Spain, it is customary to always say goodbye to everyone with this word. Often also use hasta luego ("asta luego"). "Asta la vista" is now not used in most regions, although everyone understands it.

Basic Spanish phrases - in a restaurant

la carta ("la carte")- menu, list of dishes. If you say "menu, por favor", they may misunderstand and bring a set lunch.
sin hielo ("sin hielo")- without ice. A very useful and important phrase. So, if you don’t specify, you will most likely be served a drink with ice, which will take up from a third to a half of the volume of the glass. Therefore, immediately when ordering, specify: "una cola sin yelo, por favor" - cola without ice, please.
cerveza ("serves")- beer. Word jarra ("harra") means mug. However, if you say, for example, "una jarra grande, por favour", it immediately implies that you are ordering a large mug of beer. If the waiter does not really understand you, say "una jarra de servesa, por favor" - a mug of beer, please.
vino ("wine")- wine (accent on the first syllable). If you don't specify which one, the default is red. For example, "una copa de wine, por favor!" - a glass of wine, please. "Dos Copas" - two glasses.
cenicero ("senicero")- ashtray. Ask the waiter: "el senicero, por favor" - please, bring an ashtray.
servicios ("services")- toilet. To know how to ask "where is the toilet" learn the following "los servicios, por favor?" Also the words "toilet" mean lavabo and aseo.
cuenta ("cuenta")- check. "Bill, please" in Spanish would sound like this: "la cuenta, por favour."

Basic Spanish phrases - in store

estoy mirando ("estoy mirando")- I look. A special phrase for the overly accommodating salespeople who have taken a liking to you with a desire to help. Say back "estoy mirando, gracias", which means "I'm still looking at what you have, but I haven't chosen yet, thanks." A win-win option is to stay kind and get rid of the seller.
cuanto vale? ("cuanto balle?")- what is the price? If you use it with queria eso "queria eso", in Spanish shopping you will feel like a fish in water. You can also ask: "Keria eso, kuanto bale, por favor?", "kuanto bale eso, por favor?"
probarme - ("probarme")- try on yourself. If you ask: "keria probarme, por favor" means "please, I would like to try on this clothes."
probadores ("probadores")- dressing room. Ask, "probadores, por favour," and they'll tell you where the fitting booth is.
tarjeta ("tarheta")- card. "Kon tarheta" would mean "can I pay with a card".
en efectivo ("en efficient")- cash. At the checkout in stores you will be asked "con tarheta o en effective?" - Would you like to pay by card or cash?

Basic Spanish phrases - note

linda ("Linda"), guapa ("guapa")- beautiful, cute. If you want to compliment a Spanish woman, use these exact words.
Spaniards often use affectionate words, adding the softening suffix -ita. For example, mamasita ("mamasita") - mommy, gordita ("proud") - plump, solecito ("solesito")- Sun.

Basic Spanish Phrases - Emergencies

ayúdeme ("ayudeme")- help me
llame ("lyame")- call
policia ("policy")- police. For example, in an emergency, shout: "llame a la police" - "call the police."
urgencias ("urgencias")- Ambulance
llame a un médico ("llame a un medico")- Call a doctor
me siento mal ("me siento mal")- I feel bad

Basic Spanish phrases - funny phrases

Te he traído la grasa- I brought you fat. Knowing this phrase in Spanish, perhaps, will touch any inhabitant of the Pyrenees.
Mañana ("manyana")- tomorrow. Do not be surprised, but remember this word. The Spaniards simply adore it and use it at every turn, as if following the principle: "Why do something today, if it can be done tomorrow?"
Me encanta sangria ("me encanta sangria")- I love sangria. Sangria is the delicious national drink of the Spaniards.

Spaniards and Latinos are considered to be hot and passionate natures. It's such a stereotype. Or is it not fiction at all? The Spaniards are very generous with compliments, so do not be surprised that just walking along the streets, you can easily get a lot of nice words addressed to you. But many compliments can be rude and vulgar. And poor knowledge of Spanish can not only put you in an awkward position, but also lead to misunderstandings.

Compliments can be given to men and women, regardless of the degree of acquaintance or status. The analogue of this Russian word is "cumplido". There is also the word "piropo" (corresponding to the verb "piropear"), but in this case he expresses admiration only in relation to an unfamiliar woman ( echar un piropo a uno - to give a compliment to someone). In addition, very often it wears a vulgar and often rough color. Thus, to make a pleasant compliment, as in Russian, is hacer un cumplido, and to say a compliment is decir un cumplido.

Neutral compliments

So, to make a neutral compliment, for example, to an employee or employee, about a new hairstyle or a beautiful suit, or just like that, you can use the following examples:

Me gusta su nuevo traje (o peinado). I like your new suit (or hairstyle).
Usted tiene un perfecto gusto en elegir ropa. You have a talent for choosing clothes.
¡Usted es una mujer encantadora! - You are a wonderful woman!
Usted es una persona muy responsable. - You are a very responsible person.
Usted es muy amable, gracias. - Thank you. You are very polite.
