The most common response to "thank you" in Spain is "de nada," which means "you're welcome" or "you're welcome." But there are several other different phrases that are used in the same context in different situations. We will tell you about when, to whom and how to say “please”.

Steps

1 Standard "Please"

1. 1 Say "de nada". This is the most popular expression used as a response to gratitude.
   • Actually, it literally translates as “you’re welcome.”
   • De This is a preposition that is translated differently depending on the context, in this case it is translated as “for.”
   • Nada it is a noun that translates as "nothing".
   • The most literal translation of this phrase is “for nothing.”
   • There is no verb in this phrase. Therefore, there is no feminine or masculine gender here.
2. 2 You can also say "por nada."This phrase is not used very often. Por nada is another variation of “please” or “you’re welcome.”
   • Verbatim por nada This is how it is translated: My pleasure. In Spanish por This is a preposition, which is also translated as “for.”
   • This phrase is not used in all Spanish-speaking countries. It is used mainly in Latin American countries such as Costa Rica and Puerto Rico, but not in Spain.
3. 3 Say "no es nada". This means “no problem.”
   • Es– verb form ser, which means “to be.”
   • In Spanish, double negatives are used to strengthen a negative. Saying “Es nada” is wrong. The particle “no” is required here.

2 How to say "With pleasure"

1. 1 Say "con gusto". This phrase literally translates as “with pleasure.”
   • Con translated as With.
   • Noun gusto translated as “pleasure.”
2. 2 Say "mucho gusto". It means “with great pleasure.”
   • Mucho translated as “a lot”.
   • This phrase is used if, for example, you have just been introduced to a new person. Sometimes it is used as a response to gratitude. It’s something like “you’re welcome.” If you want to say “please” in response to “thank you,” use the phrase “con mucho gusto.”
3. 3 Say "es mi placer". It means “at my pleasure.”
   • Es this is a verb form ser, the verb “to be.” It is used for the third person singular.
   • Mi means “mine”.
   • Placer it's a pleasure".
   • You can simply say “un placer,” or “a pleasure,” this means that you enjoyed helping the person who is now thanking you.
4. 4 Say "el placer es mío.""The phrase is translated as follows: “For my pleasure.”
   • This phrase can be used when introducing you to a new person. If someone says “mucho gusto,” which roughly means “nice to meet you,” respond with “el placer es mio,” which literally means “it’s even nicer to meet you.”
   • Mio means “mine.”
5. 5 You can answer “encantado.” The word is translated as “Very glad” or “I am very pleased.”

3 Other options

1. 1 Say "no hay de qué."Literal translation: "There's nothing to thank me for."
   • Hay not translated in this context, but no hay means "no".
   • Qué translated as "what."
2. 2 Answer “no tiene importancia.”” Literally this phrase is translated as “It doesn’t matter at all.”
   • Tiene This is the third person singular form of the verb “tener,” which means “to have.”
   • Importancia means “important.”
   • This means that it was not at all difficult for you to help the person, and there is nothing to thank you for.

• There is no literal translation of the word “please” as a response to “thank you” in Spanish. Por favor This is a literal translation of the word "please", but it cannot be used in this situation, as a response to gratitude.

Russian-Spanish phrasebook: how to communicate in an unfamiliar country. Popular phrases and expressions for travelers.

• Tours for the New Year to Spain
• Last minute tours Worldwide

Spanish or Castilian (español, castellano) is the third most popular language in the world, an Ibero-Romance language that originated in the medieval kingdom of Castile. Spanish is spoken by about 500 million people in more than 40 countries.

They say Spanish is quite easy to learn, with about 60% Anglo-Saxon roots. Spanish words are read exactly the same as they are written and vowels are never reduced, that is, they do not change their sound.

Knowledge of Spanish is extremely beneficial; knowing the basics of this sunny language, you can understand several other foreign languages ​​quite well at once: for example, Portuguese (a little more lisping), Italian, and even a little French.

For the Russian ear, the Spanish language has many words that at least make you smile. For example, “huevo duro” is nothing more than “boiled egg.” Oh, excuse me, “fucking negro” means “black suit.” And in Spanish there are charming punctuation marks - exclamation and question marks. They are necessarily placed at the beginning and at the end of the sentence, and in the first case - upside down.

- And like this!

Currently, Spain is the country most frequently visited by Russian-speaking tourists. However, for some reason the Spaniards are in no hurry to learn Russian, just like English. In Barcelona, ​​Madrid and large tourist cities, it is quite possible to communicate in English, but if you want to see non-tourist Spain, be prepared for the fact that the locals will only speak Spanish. Apparently, this is why most tourists either trustingly attach themselves to Russian-speaking hotel guides, or constantly engage in pantomime when communicating with the Spaniards :)
To make your holiday more enjoyable and comfortable, try to remember a few essential words and phrases in Spanish.

I want to warn you right away that the Spanish language may sound indecent for Russian speakers, but keep in mind that “h” is almost never read, two “ll” are read like “th”. For example,

• Huevo is pronounced "huebo" (egg) in Spanish.
• Huesos is read as “uesos” (bones)
• Perdi – “perdi” (I lost) – from the verb perder (to lose)
• Dura – “fool” (lasts)
• Prohibir – “proibIr” (prohibit)
• Debil – “dEbil” (weak) – often found on water bottles, means that the water is, for example, slightly carbonated.
• Llevar – “yebar” (to wear). Para llevar – “para yebar” (takeaway, for example, food in a cafe to take away)
• Fallos - “fiOs” (errors)

So, here we go – the most useful words and phrases in Spanish!

Greetings and goodbyes in Spanish

In the photo: the faster you learn a few phrases in Spanish, the more enjoyable your vacation will be :)

In Spain, to greet a person, you just need to call him Olya :)
It is written – Hola! Pronounced – something between “Ol I” and “Ol A”

A more formal greeting: “Good afternoon!” – Buenos dias! – pronounced “b” U enos d AND ac"

Good evening! – Buenas Tardes! – “buenas tardes” – is always used in the afternoon.
Good night! – Buenas Noches! – “Buenas noches” (night) – used after 19 hours.

To say goodbye, Spaniards rarely say the famous phrase, thanks to Arnold Schwarzenegger, “hasta la vista” (see you later). Most often they will say: “See you soon!” – Hasta luego! – “Asta luEgo”
Well, or they say “farewell (those)” - Adios - “adyOs”

Tell your interlocutor your name, for example: “my name is Anton” - Me llamo Anton - “me yamo Anton”
You can say where you are from: “I’m Russian/Russian” - Soy ruso/rusa – “Soy Ruso/Rusa”

Daily words and phrases in Spanish, politeness

Residents of Malgrad de Mar talking on the street

Affirmative answer: yes – Si
No – No.
It’s more polite, of course, to say “no, thank you!” - No, gracias! - “but, grAsias”

A very important word that always helps in Spain: “please” - por favor- "por favor"
And another “thank you” - Gracias– “grasias” (in the middle of the word the letter “s” is unclear and even has a lisp)

In response you can hear: “You’re welcome!” - De nada – “de nada”

If we want to apologize, we say “I beg your pardon” – Perdon – “fartOn”
To this, Spaniards often respond: “everything is fine (no big deal)!” – No pasa nada – “but pasa nada”

How to ask for directions in Spanish

To practice Spanish, ask locals for directions

Sometimes a tourist gets a little lost in the city. Then it's time to ask in Spanish:
where is…? – ?Donde esta...? - “DOnde estA?”

For example, if you are going to travel and cannot find the bus station, learn a phrase in Spanish: “Donde est A la Parada de Autobus?” Of course, a detailed answer in Spanish may be discouraging, but a Spaniard will most likely duplicate the direction with his hand :)

Street signs in Figueres city

Here are some other useful Spanish words for directions:

To the left – Izquierda – “Iskierda”
To the right – Derecha – “derEcha”
Straight – Recto – “recto”

In Spanish, “street” is Calle – “caye”

We ask where the Rambla is - ?Donde esta la calle Rambla? - “Donde estA la caye Rambla?”
We ask where the beach is – ?Donde esta la playa? - “Donde estA la playa?”

You can search for the Russian Embassy - “Where is the Russian Embassy?” – ?Donde esta la embajada de Rusia? - “donde estA la embahAda de Rusia?”
Another useful line: “Where is the toilet?” – ?Donde estan los aseos? - “DOnde estAn los asEos?”

Basic Spanish words for transport

To navigate along the way, a tourist will still have to remember a dozen Spanish words

Schedule – Horario – “orArio”
Sales – Venta – “venta”
Ticket (for transport) - Billete - “biyEte” or “bilEte”. You can say “ticketE” - they also understand normally.
If you need a “Round and Back” ticket, the cashier needs to say: “Ida i Vuelta” - “Ida and Vuelta”
Card (travel card, subscription, also a bank card) - Tarjeta - “tarkhEta”
The next station is Proxima Parada.

Train - Tren – “tren”
Path, platform - Via – “bia”
Taxi/metro/bus – Taxi, metro, autobus – “taxi, metro, autobus”

Express your opinion or desire in Spanish

Advanced tourists very quickly begin to understand and speak Spanish

I like! - Me gusta – “me gusta!”
I don't like! - No me gusta – “but me gusta!”

I would like to - Querria – “qErria”
This is good! - Esta bien – “estA bien!”)
Very good! - Muy bien – “muy bien!”
I don't want! - No quiero – “but quiero!”

Clarifications regarding mutual understanding + help

I don’t speak Spanish – No hablo espanol – “but Ablo Español”

Do you speak Russian? - Habla ruso? - “Abla ruso?”
Speak English? – Habla ingles? - “Abla Inglas?”

At first, this phrase will be the most popular: “I don’t understand” – No entiendo – “but entEndo”
The Spaniards very often confirm, they say, “Got it” - “Vale” - “Bale!”

"Help me please!" – ?Ayudeme, por favor! - “ayudEme, por favOr!”

Shopping, bookings

In the photo: tourists are interested in the prices of souvenirs in Bilbao

What it is? – ?Que es esto? - “que es esto?”
The basic phrase for shopping: “how much is it?” – ?Cuanto cuesta? – “cuAnto cuEsta?”)
If you are going to pay for a purchase with a bank card, it will be - Con tarjeta - “con tarjeta”
Cash - Efectivo - “effectibo”

Car – Coche – “koche”
Entrance (to any establishment) - Entrada - “entrAda”
Exit – Salida – “SalIda”

I booked a room – Tengo una reserva de la habitacion – “Tengo una reserva de la habitacion”

If you need to spend the night, you can say: “two beds for this night” - Dos kamas por esta noche - “dos kamas por estA noche”

Phrases in Spanish about food (in a restaurant, store, market)

In the photo: a fragment of the menu in a small restaurant, Malgrad de Mar

Sometimes, when buying food in a cafeteria or bar, Spaniards ask: Do you take food to go? - Para llevar? - “Para yebAr?” If you want to eat in a cafe, then you can answer a short “No” and add: “I will eat here” - Para aquí - - “Para akI”

I’ll order... – Voy a tomar... – “fight a tomar”

Bon appetit! - Buen provecho! - “buen provEcho”. Or often just “provEcho!”

Hot – caliente – “calEnte”
Warm up – calentar – “calentAr”

The check, please! - La cuenta, por favor! – “la cuEnta, por favour”

Meat – Carne – “kArne”
Fish – Pescado – “peskado”
Chicken – Pollo – “poyo”

If, when ordering chicken, you say not “Poyo”, but “Pollo” (if you read “pollo” as you are used to), you will get an indecent word and you will have to say “Perdon” :)

Seafood – Mariscos – “marIskos”
Pasta – Pastas
Bread – Pan – “pan”

Spanish words and phrases about drinks

Drinks – Bebidas – “babyIdas”
Coffee with milk – Cafe con leche – “cafe con leche”

Beer – Cerveza – “SerbEsa”

The most important phrase for mastering Spain: “two beers, please!” Dos cerveza, por favor!- “dos sirbEsas, por favOR!”

Sparkling water – Agua con gaz – “Agua con gas”
