Q

Translate to Spanish:

water

A

el agua

Note that agua uses the definite article el even though it is feminine. This is common for certain nouns that start with an “a”, in order to avoid a double “a” sound.

(If it were plural, “waters”, you’d still actually say las aguas)

El refresco is literally more like “soft drink”, but they often use it to mean “soda” (just as we do in English with the phrase “soft drink”).

In some countries, they also refer to a soda as una gaseosa.

Q

Translate to Spanish:

I want a beer, please.

A

Quiero una cerveza, por favor.

I want - Quiero.

This is a bit of an abrupt way to ask for something, but it’s the simplest. As a beginner you’ll be forgiven for taking this easy route.

17
Q

[What is being said in the audio recording?]

A

Mujer: Agua, por favor.

Hombre: Bueno. ¿Con gas?

Mujer: No, sin gas.

Translation: “Water, please.” / “OK. Sparkling?” / “No, without carbonation.”

Note the use of the word Bueno (“good”) to mean more like “OK”, or “Sure”. Bueno is a common transition word like this in Spanish.

20

21
Q

Sólo quiero un poco de vino, por favor.

Translation: “I just want a little wine, please.”

22
Q

Translate to Spanish:

Do you like it?

–> Yes, I like it.

A

¿Te gusta?

Sí, me gusta.

Notice we’re not using the regular pronouns and yo here, but these strange-looking “reflexive pronouns” te and me.

This is a complex concept covered in more advanced lessons. For now, you can just memorize the more common phrases “I like [this]” and “You like [this]”.

23
Q

Translate to Spanish:

Check, please.

A

La cuenta, por favor.

restaurant bill - la cuenta.

Note that some countries may also say el cheque.

24
Q

[What is being said in the audio recording?]

A

Hombre: ¿Cómo es?

Mujer: Es muy bueno. ¡Me gusta!

Translation: “How is it?” / “It’s very good. I like it!”

Remember that bueno means “good”.

25
Q

[What is being said in the audio recording?]

A

Hombre: ¿Te gusta la comida mexicana?

Mujer: No, no me gusta. Me gusta la comida colombiana.

Translation: “Do you like Mexican food?” / “No, I don’t like it. I like Colombian food.”

Notice how when you say “I like [X]” in Spanish, as a general statement, you must put the definite article (el or la) in front of the noun you like. (e.g. “I like pizza” - Me gusta la pizza.)

26
Q

Translate to Spanish:

I don’t like beer, but I like wine.

A

No me gusta la cerveza, pero me gusta el vino.

but - pero.

This conjunction is generally used the same way the word “but” is in English, with few quirks.

Just be careful you only use one r when writing it, since perro (with two r’s) means “dog”! (These types of distinctions are why it’s important to learn to trill your double rr’s when speaking :)

Also remember that you when you say “I like [X]” in Spanish, as a general statement, you must put the definite article (el or la) in front of the noun you like. (e.g. “Do you like coffee?” - ¿Te gusta el café?)
