Un poco de cultura When greeting someone in a Spanish speaking country it is customary to exchange an air kiss or “beso” on one cheek. (In Spain, they “air” kiss on both cheeks). Many times a hug will accompany this kiss. If two men are greeting each other, they will either hug or shake hands. Culturally most Spanish speakers do not have the same personal “bubble” that we have in the US.

Títulos señor (Sr.) When use with a name, it translates to “Mr.” When used alone, it translates to “sir” Use señor with any male, regardless of age.

Títulos señora (Sra.) señorita (Srta.) When use with a name, it translates to “Mrs.” When used alone, it translates to “ma’am.” Refers to a married woman. señorita (Srta.) When use with a name or alone, it translates to “miss.” Used for young or unmarried women.

Nombres & Presentaciones

¿Cómo se llama usted? ¿Cómo te llamas? Both literally translates to “What do you call yourself?” We use it as “What is your name?” The first is a formal way to ask. The second is informal.

Me llamo…./ Mi nombre es… Me llamo answers the question ¿Cómo se llama usted? or ¿Cómo te llamas? It literally translates to “I call myself”. Me llamo is more commonly used than “mi nombre es”.

¿y usted? ¿y tú? Both literally translates to “and you?” We use it to ask the same question back. The first is a formal way to ask. The second is informal.

Mucho gusto It literally translates to “Much pleasure” but is commonly translated as “nice to meet you.” It is used after meeting someone for the first time.

Encantado Encantada Translates to “Enchanted” or “Delighted.” If you are a boy, you will say “encantado”. If you are a girl, you will say “encantada”. It does not matter to whom you are talking.

Igualmente “Likewise” or “equally”. Can be said after “Mucho gusto” or “encantado/a”

Formal vs Informal: Un video para explicar

usted This is the formal “you”. We use to show respect to… elders, people in respected positions, people you don’t know well or at all, people you call by their last name and anyone with a title. When abbreviated it looks like this: Ud.

usted = you (formal)

tú This is the informal or familiar “you” that is used with good friends, family, and people younger than you. people you call by their first name

tú = you (informal/ familiar)

Formal vs Informal: If you are unsure about the age or familiarity, use formal Spanish. With certain people, you may speak formally in some situations while informally in other situations.

Repaso: Formal vs Informal What do both “tú” and “usted” mean? Why do we need to speak formally? With whom should you speak formally? With whom can you speak informally?

Otras preguntas ¿Cómo está Ud.? (How are you? - Formal) ¿Cómo estás (tú)? (How are you? - Inf)

Otra pregunta ¿Qué tal? (How’s is going?) This question is INFORMAL. Answer it with the same responses as you would for ¿Cómo estás?

Respuestas… Estoy: I am… bien: well; fine; good muy bien: very well mal: badly muy mal: very badly regular así así: so-so (not used often) ¿y usted?/ ¿y tú?: and you?

Otra pregunta ¿Qué pasa? (What’s up? What’s happening?) Nada. (Nothing) This is always informal
