Posted by Bach Tong in Spanish 1 - Sanchez on

​En español, it is important to use the right courtesy phrases to show good manners. Here are a few courtesy phrases to use in every day conversation:

a) Gracias: Thank you

b) Muchas gracias: thanks a lot.
c) Mil gracias: Thanks a million.
d) De nada = Por nada = No hay de qué = you’re welcome.
e) ¿Cómo? = What was it? (when you didn’t catch what someone just said)
f) Por favor: Please
g) Con pemiso: excuse me (applied to ask someone out of your way politely)
   Disculpe: excuse me (applied to get attention from someone)
   Perdón: excuse me (applied if you accidentally bumped into someone)
h) Está bien: It’s ok.
​This could be use along with your responding to someone to make your respond become more polite and courteous. These phrase could be used as similar as how you use courtesy phrase en Inglés.
Example: A: Disculpe. ¿Cómo te llamas Ud?
   B: Me llamo....... ¿Cómo esta Tú?
   A:  Muy bien, gracias. ¿Y Ud.?

   B:  Bien, gracias.
