[What is being said in the audio recording?]
Hombre: ¿Tienes hermanos?
Mujer: Sí, tengo tres hermanas y cuatro hermanos.
Translation:
Man: “Do you have any siblings?”
Woman: “Yes, I have three sisters and four brothers.”
Translate to Spanish:
There’s nothing here.
No hay nada aquí.
“nothing” = nada
Note that in Spanish, we use a double negative: no + nada in the same sentence, for agreement.
This is the opposite of how we’d do it in English, where double negatives are frowned upon. e.g. We wouldn’t say “I don’t have nothing”, but in Spanish that’s exactly how you’d say it. (No tengo nada.)
[What is being said in the audio recording?]
Mujer: ¿Tienes dinero?
Hombre: No, no tengo nada.
Translation:
Woman: “Do you have [any] money?”
Man: “No, I don’t have anything.”
Note how this use of no –> nada technically translates to “no –> anything” in English, since English does not permit double negatives.
The word nada still means “nothing”; it’s just that it sometimes translates weirdly to English.
[What is being said in the audio recording?]
Mujer: Tengo siete hermanos.
Hombre: ¡Uy! Yo Tengo sólo uno.
Translation:
Woman: “I have seven siblings.”
Man: “Wow! I only have one.”
Note that sólo is short for solamente.
[What is being said in the audio recording?]
Hombre: ¿Cuánto cuesta?
Mujer: Nueve dólares.
Hombre: ¡Uy! Muy caro! ¿Qué tal ocho dolares?
Translation:
Man: “How much is this?”
Woman: “Nine dollars”
Man: “Oof, very expensive! How about eight dollars?”
“how about” = ¿qué tal?
In some countries, the phrase ¿Qué tal? by itself can mean “How’s it going?” (a synonym to ¿Cómo estás?)
[What is being said in the audio recording?]
Mujer: ¿Cuántos carros tienes?
Hombre: Sólo uno.
Translation:
Woman: “How many cars do you have?”
Man: “Only one.”
Note how cuánto (“how much”) changes to cuántos (“how many”) when referring to [potentially] more than one of something.
