Posted by Isabella Beato in Spanish 1 - Manuel on

How to say and ask the time in spanish



First you will need to know the numbers 1-59:


uno=1                       dieciseis=16                treinta y uno=31

dos=2                       diecisiete=17               treinta y dos=32    

tres=3                       dieciocho=18               treinta y tres=33 

cuatro=4                   diecinueve=19             treinta y cuatro=34

cinco=5                     veinte=20                    treinta y cinco=35   

seis=6                       veinteuno=21              treinta y seis=36

siete=7                      veintedós=22              treinta y siete=37

ocho=8                      veintetrés=23              treinta y ocho=38

nueve=9                    veintecuatro=24          treinta y nueve=39

diez=10                     veintecinco=25            cuarenta=40

once=11                    veinteseis=26              cuarenta y uno=41

doce=12                    veintesiete=27             cuarenta y dos=42

trece=13                    veinteocho=28             cuarenta y tres=43

catorce=14                veintenueve=29            cuarenta y cuatro=44

quince=15                 treinta=30                      cuarenta y cinco=45



cuarenta y seis=46

cuarenta y siete=47

cuarenta y ocho=48

cuarenta y nueve=49

cincuenta=50

cincuenta y uno=51

cincuenta y dos=52

cincuenta y tres=53

cincuenta y cuatro=54

cincuenta y cinco=55

cincuenta y seis=56

cincuenta y siete=57

cincuenta y ocho=58

cincuenta y nueve=59






Next we will learn how to ask what time it is:

¿Qué hora es?

¿Qué hora son?

¿Qué hora tiene(s)?

All of these mean the same thing, “What time is it?”


So to begin saying the time you start off with:

Son las

This means “It is”

Then you say the time:

Son las cinco

This means “It is 2:00”

“Son las” applies for all numbers except one. To say its 1:00 you have to say:

Es la una

This also applies with saying 12:00 also:

12:00 AM is Es la medianoche(It’s midnight)

12:00 PM is Es la mediodia(It’s noon)



You can add “Y” after Son las cinco to say the exact minutes:


Son las cinco y treinta y cinco


This means ”It is 5:35”


Here are some simple time shortcuts:


Y cinco= :05

y cuarto= :15 (quarter after)

Menos cuarto= :45 (quarter of)

Y media= :30

Menos cinco= :55

en punto (on the dot)




You can also say “Menos” this will subtract time so you will have to say its 1 hour ahead when its really not an hour ahead, for example:


Son las seis menos cuarto


This is 5:45. You can use “menos” just like “y”


Lastly, we will learn to say the time of day:


de la mañana (in the morning)


de la tarde (in the afternoon)


de la noche (in the evening)


Heres a video of me trying to find out what time my plane back to the U.S.A. from Puerto Rico



This is how you say and ask the time in spanish. I hope you enjoyed this lesson.

¡Hola! ¡Adiós! : Basic Spanish

Posted by Gina Sorgentoni in Spanish 1 - Manuel on

​Explanation:

In order to properly greet someone in spanish you will need to know:
- the time of day
- to ask how are you and be able to respond


If you feel like knowing basic greetings is unimportant, you're wrong. Say you meet a spanish speaking person and they want to have a conversation with you. If you will end up like this poor girl . Now to avoid this awkward conversation here are a few things you will need to know


A few ways to greet someone:


¡Hola!Hello!
¡Buenos Días!Good morning !
¡Buenas tardes!Good afternoon!
¡Buenas noches!Good evening!

So now you know how to say hello in several different ways, the next thing you would usually ask a stranger is their name


How to ask for their name:


¿Cómo te llamas? (informal)What’s your name?
¿Cómo se llama?  (formal)What’s your name?    


How to respond if you are asked yours: 



Me llamo …..My name is
Yo soy ….My name is
Mi nombre es …. My name is
All of those responses mean the same thing "My name is" they are just different ways to say it. 



"How are you?" is another important part of a greeting.

A few ways to ask how are you:

¿Qué tal?How are you?
¿Cómo estás? (tu)How are you?
¿Cómo está? (ustd)How are you?


The difference between "Cómo estás" and "Cómo está" is that "Cómo estás" is  that "estás" is  ment to be said to friends, its more causal than "Cómo está" which is ment for elders and people who are respected. 


How to respond to being asked how are you:


Bien, graciasGood, thanks
Más o menosAlright
MalTerrible

Now you know how to say hello and how are you, but maybe you had to go home.

To say goodbye :


¡Adiós!Bye!
¡Hasta luego!See ya later!
¡Hasta pronto!See ya soon!
¡Hasta mañana See ya tomorrow!
¡Qué le vaya bien!Have a good one!

To ask and you:


¿Y tú?   (informal) And you?
¿Y Usted?   (formal)And you?

Again tu is speaking informally usted is used for more formal greetings 

Now that you know how to say basic spanish greetings lets see how that girl's situation would have went if she had know what you now know. 


Here is a video of someone seeing an old friend for the first time in years: 


Mucho gusto: Conversational Spanish

Posted by Gina Sorgentoni in Spanish 1 - Manuel on

​Explanation 
 In order to properly have a conversation in spanish you will need to know
- how to respond to questions like where you live
- how to ask those questions
- how to say the numbers

The reason you need to know conversations spanish is, if you have to fill out an the beging of an interview for a new Puerto Rican business you will need to know the things listed above.

To ask some one where you live:

¿De dónde eres (tú)? (informal)Where are you from?
¿De  dónde es (usted)? (formal) Where are you from?

Both questions are asking where do you live, the difference is the first question is causal and the second is formal.

To respond to those questions:

Soy de …I live in
Soy de … pero vivo en ….I’m from but I live in

Another thing you may need to know is how to say the numbers, so orally handing out your phone number wont be a problem

Numbers:


unoone
dostwo
tresthree
cuartofour
cincofive
siessix
sieteseven
ochoeight
nuevenine

If some one asks you for your phone number they might say:

¿Cuál es tu número de teléfono?What’s your phone number?
¿Cuál es su número de teléfono?What’s your phone number?

The first question is ment to be said informally to friends, the second is ment to be said towards more formal conversations.  
And to reply you say:

Es el ***-***-****


To thank your interviewer you should say:


GraciasThanks
Muchas graciasThanks a lot
Mil gracias Thanks a milion
Now you know how to speak conversational spanish lets see how a successful interview would go. 

Here is a video of two people meeting at a party and exchanging information:
