how to tell the weather in spanish
Last but not least the weather!
It is hard to explain but I am here to help. Don't be afraid to be mad at yourself for not understanding.
It is hot- Hace calor
It is cold- Hace frio
It is windy- Hace viento
It is raining- está lloviendo
It is snowing- está nevando
It is cloudy- está nublado
You must remember to always add the "hace or está" if not the phrase is incorrect.
For example someone ask you what is the weather outside you would say "está nublado" is it cloudy.
The image below is going to help you better understand the weather!

Que hora es/son? How to tell and ask the time.
Lesson: In order to tell time you need to know:
- How to count in spanish
-How to ask what time it is
-How to say what time it is.
1 o’clock | Es la una |
2 o’clock | Son las dos |
3 o’clock | Son las tres |
4 o’clock | Son las cuatro |
5 o’clock | Son las cinco |
6 o’clock | Son las seis |
7 o’clock | Son las siete |
8 o’clock | Son las ocho |
9 o’clock | Son las nueve |
10 o’clock | Son las diez |
11 o’clock | Son las once |
12 o’clock | Son las doce |
:15 | cuarto |
:30 | media |
:45 | menos cuarto |
y | and |
menos | minus |
Spanish=English
¿Que hora es?= What time is it?
Son las doce y media= It is 12:30
Son las tres y cuarto= It is 3:15
Es la una y diez= It is 1:10
Son las dos menos cuarto= It is 1:45
There are other numbers you have to know to become experts at telling time.
If it is 1:55 you can say Son las dos menos cinco. or you can say Es la una y cincuenta y cinco.
These both mean the same thing, they are two different ways of saying 1:55.
The following numbers are numbers you need to know:
:20 | veinte |
:30 | trenta |
:40 | cuarenta |
:50 | cincuenta |
So if you wanted to say it was 6:40 you could say:
Son las seis y cuarenta.
Son las siete menos veinte.
They both mean the same thing.
If it is AM you should say de la mañana after the time.
If it is the afternoon you should say de la tarde after the time.
If it is PM you should say de la noche after the time.
Ex:
1:05pm= Es la una y cinco de la tarde.
11:27pm= Son las once y vientisiete de la noche.
8:30am= Son las ocho y media de la mañana.
Here is a video about a boy who is late for class and asks his Puerto Rican friend what time it is.
How to greet people in spanish.
Now, you can add on something to "hola" to make more since when talking to a spanish speaker for an example. "¿Hola, cómo estás? is "hello, how are you" but you have to be careful because you can'y say that to just anyone. Like, if your talking with one of your friends you can say "hola, cómo estás" but, if your talking with a older person you must show respect. So just simply add "usted" at the end of the greeting and remove the "S" in estas. So all together it would be this. "Hola, cómo esta usted?"
Now to reply it's a bit more harder. After the other person replys to you and ask how you are, you can say im good, or bad or fine. Of coures in spanish. good in spanish is "bien" bad is "malo" and fine is "maso meno"
So, when they answer and say "y tu" meaning "and you?" you can say how are you with thoes three words.
Then your all set. This is just for begginers who want to have a small talk. So, thank you for reading i hope that you learn a few things and can use them in the near future.

There are several ways to say your welcome en espanol. For a reminder when you see R’s in espanol, you role your tongue always.
The first way to say Your Welcome in espanol is:
1. De nada You pronounce it like this: day na da
2. Por` nada You pronounce it like this: Poor` na da
3. No hay de que You pronounce it like this: No hay d ke
If you didn’t ever catch what someone said you would say in Spanish:
1. Como You pronounce it like this: Co mo
Como is an easy word to say because the word has two O’s and you have to add a C in the beginning and an M in the middle of the word.
