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.

   B: Me llamo....... ¿Cómo esta Tú?
   A:  Muy bien, gracias. ¿Y Ud.?

How to differentiate questions/answer to different people en Espaol? Bach Tong and Shannon Powers

Posted by Bach Tong in Spanish 1 - Sanchez on
​En Español, there are two separate way of asking/responding to people, accordingly to their ages. To ask/respond to someone who is younger than you, the informal way should be used: Tú. To ask/respond to someone who is older than you, the formal way should be used: Ud.
Example: ¿Cómo te llama (Tú) ?: What’s your name? informal
       ¿Cómo te llamas (Ud)?: What’s your name? formal
                ¿Cómo esta (Tú)? : How are you? informal 
  ¿Cómo estas (Ud.)?: How are you? formal
This could be used to ask/respond to people in real life politely correspondingly to their age. It also shows respect and how educated you are to adults. This rule does not necessarily applied to every questions, but to most of it.

Posted by Aidan Rios on
ello fellow readers, thank you for choosing my lesson to help your spanish needs. In this lesson you will learn how to tell and ask time in spanish. But before we get to the hard stuff you must know the question. The question is "What time is it?". Also you must know all the numbers from 1 to 12. (Say them properly).




First things first the numbers.



In English its one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve.



In Spanish its, uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete, ocho, nueve, diez, once, doce.




Now numbers above both read the same from 1 to 12.




For example if the was 5:05, we in english would say five o' five. But on the other hand in spanish you would say son las cinco y cinco. To say it properly you say "Son las" and the first number but with the second number you just add "y" and the number



15- cuatro


30- media


45- cuarenta y cinco


55- la hora menos cinco - cincuenta y cinco

Spanish=English

¿Cuál es tu número de teléfono?= What's your phone number?

Es el  _____-______-___________= It is _____-_____-___________


Now that you know how to count in spanish you must now learn how to cut up your phone number so you can say it in spanish.


 Lets just say that your number is 215-676-6579.

Some people might say Es el dos uno cinco- seis etc.

But this is not how you say your number in spanish the way it looks is different. It looks like this...

2/15-6/76-65/79 and you would say it like this:

dos/quince-seis/setenta y seis-sesenta y cinco/setenta y nueve


Here is a video of a boy asking for a girls phone number.
