Just like in any other country in the world, the interest of tourists in the national language is perceived by the local population as a sign of respect.

I offer a set of useful phrases for tourists in Spain.

SPANISH

BASIC WORDS AND PHRASES

hola- ola- Hello hi.

adios- adios- bye, bye. Instead of "adios" they also say "hasta luego" - ásta luego- "see you later".

por favor - pore favor- please in the sense of "be kind."

gracias- grácias- Thank you.

si- si- Yes; no- But- No. In case of refusal of something proposed, it is customary to say “but, gracias”, in case of agreement to something proposed - “si, por favor”

perdon- fart- I'm sorry. It is used as a request to forgive, as a request to repeat what was said and as a way to attract attention (a polite form of “hey, you!”

vale- bale– ok, no hablo español is fine – but áblo espanol- I do not speak Spanish.

SPANISH: SHOPPING

estoy mirando- Estonian Mirando Literally, "I'm watching." Example: "estóy mirándo grácias" ("I'm still looking at what's available (I haven't chosen yet), thanks")

queria eso - keria eso- I would like that. A universal phrase for any stores, combined with the use of the index finger, it saves you from having to remember the names of items. In some phrasebooks, instead of “keria” (“would like”), it is suggested to say “kyero” (“I want”), this is less polite, so they usually do not say this.

y- And- And. Exactly the same as in Russian. Example: "keria eso i eso" ("I would like this and that")

cuanto vale? - quanto bále?- what is the price? The second universal phrase for shops. By combining it with "queria eso", you will actually become fluent in Spanish in terms of shopping. Options: "Keria eso, kuánto bále, por favour?" "Quanto bále eso, por favour?"

probarme- probarma- try on yourself, a single-root word with the Russian "test". Example: “keria probárme eso, por favór” (“please, I would like to try this on”)

probadores - probadores- fitting booths. Example: "probadores, por favour?" equivalent to "please, where is the fitting room here?"

mirar- miar- look, look. Example: “keria mirár eso” (“I would like to look at that little thing over there”)

tarjeta- tarheta- card. Example: "con tarheta?" (“Can I pay by card?”)

en effective - en efficient- in cash. The cashier at the store usually asks how you will pay: in cash or by card. He does this in the following way: “con tarheta o en effective?”.

SPANISH: BAR, RESTAURANT

la carta - la carta- menu, list of dishes. The word “menu” as such is often understood as a request to bring not a list of dishes, but a set lunch, so it’s better not to use it as a menu request

tiene menu? - chiene menu? Do you have set meals? Sometimes at first glance it is not clear whether this cafeteria offers set meals (menu del dia), and you have to ask. Taking a set lunch, of course, is always cheaper than ordering the same dishes separately.

sinhielo- blue yelo- without ice. A very important phrase when ordering soft drinks. The fact is that by default they are in most cases served with ice, while ice occupies from a third to a half of the useful volume of a glass. In any case, your drink will be served cold. Example: “ýna fanta sin yélo, por favour!” – “fantu without ice, please!”

del timepo - del tempo– room temperature. Example: "ýna coca-cola del tempo, por favour!" (“not a cold Coke, please!”)

bien-hecho- bien echo- well-done (about meat). If you order meat “in a piece” in a restaurant and don’t like it when it is bloody (in a number of dishes it is usually not fried to a “crust”), when ordering, say this magic phrase, and the tenderloin will be guaranteed to be well fried. Some phrasebooks suggest using "muy echo" (" muy echo"), which literally means "very fried". It’s better not to say that, otherwise there is a risk that, according to the request, they will bring you practically a “sole”. If, on the contrary, you like meat with blood, when ordering, say "poco hecho" (" poco echo«)

cana- cana- a glass of beer. It is a glass or a glass (gram 250), and it is beer. Examples: "ýna kánya, por favour!" (“a glass of beer, please!”) “dos canas, por favor!” (“a couple of beers, please!”)

jarra- harra- mug of beer. Example: “ýna kharra grande, por favour!” ("big mug, please!").

cerveza- service- beer. For example: “ýna harra de servésa, por favour!” (“Mug of beer, please!”)

wine - wine– wine, by default – red. Stress on the first syllable. Example: "ýna kópa (dos kópas) de wine, por favour!" (“a glass (two glasses) of wine, please!”)

tinto- tinto– red

rosado- rosado– pink

blanco- blanco- white. Example: "ýna copa de vino blanco, por favour!" (“a glass of white wine, please!”)

agua - água - water.

cafe- cafe- coffee.

cafe solo cafe solo- black coffee

cafe cortado - cafe cortado– coffee with a little milk

cafe con leche cafe con léche– black coffee half-and-half with milk

capuchino - cappuccino - cappuccino

te- te- tea

servicios- servisios – toilet. Example: "los servicios, por favour?" (“Where is the toilet, please?”). The toilet is also denoted by the words lavabo And aseo, but "servisios" is easier to remember

cuenta- quanta- check. Example: "la cuenta, por favor!" ("The check, please!").

SPANISH: AT THE HOTEL

Tiene plancha? - tiene plancha- Do you have an iron?

habitacion - habitacion- room, hotel room.

quería una habitación - keria una habitacion- I would like to rent a room

double- doble- room for two. Example: "queria ýna habitacón double, por favour" ("please, I would like to rent a room for two")

individual - individual- number for one

SPANISH: NUMBER 0 to 10

0 – cero- sero; 1 - uno– ýno; 2- dos- dos; 3- tres- tres;

4 – cuatro- cuattro; 5 - cinco- sinco; 6- seis– seis;

7 – siete- siete; 8 - ocho- ocho; 9 - new- Nueve; 10 - diez- des.

SPANISH: TRANSPORT, MOVEMENT

pasa por- past time- goes through, goes to. Example: "pasa por plasa Catalunya?" (“Does [this bus, etc.] go to Plaça Catalunya?”)

pare aqui - pare aki- stop here. The phrase is more for a taxi.

estacion - station- station. Estación de autobuses estacion de autobuses- bus; estación de trenes estacion de trenes– railway

litro- liter- liter. Example: “beinte litros, por favour!” ("twenty liters, please")

lleno- yeno- full. Example: "yéno, por favour!" ("Fill it up, please!")

In order to ask the question “how to get there”, it’s enough just to name the right place with an interrogative intonation and the same “por favor”. For example: “estacion de trenes, por favour?” (“please, how do I get to the train station?”). Or “Plaza Catalunya, por favour?” (“please, how do you get to Plaça Catalunya?”)

When going on a trip to the Pyrenees, do not think that you will get by with knowledge of English - a very small percentage of Spaniards speak this language, so travelers often find themselves in situations like in that joke "my friend does not understand."

We hope our readers will definitely not get into such a mess, because tochka.net prepared a small dictionary for them.

1. Basic Spanish Phrases - General Rules

Never hesitate to speak Spanish with Spaniards, even if your knowledge of the language is reduced to a primitive minimum. Even simple words "hello-bye" or "how are you, friend" will be enough to win over the Spaniards. Remember that in Spanish there is no reduction of sounds, i.e. All vowels must be pronounced clearly, whether they are stressed or not. Otherwise, you may not be understood or understood differently than you would like.

• Also remember that the sound of the letter "H" (ache) in Spanish is not pronounced. For example, the greeting hola is pronounced "ola".
• The letter v in Spanish is read as "b", or rather something in between "b" and "c".

1. Basic Spanish phrases - greetings and polite words

• hola ("ola")- Hi Hello. Sometimes it may seem that the Spaniards were born with this word on their lips. They greet everyone constantly and with everyone: acquaintances, strangers, in a store, cafe, etc.
• por favor ("por favor")- Please. Any request of a well-mannered person by Spanish standards of etiquette should be accompanied by this phrase.
• gracias ("gracias")- Thank you. Pay attention to the pronunciation, "gracias" is correct.
• si ("yes"), no ("no"). In this country, it is customary to use "no, gracias", "si, por favor".
• vale ("bale")- ok, fit
• adios ("adios")- goodbye, bye. In Spain, it is customary to always say goodbye to everyone with this word. Often also use hasta luego ("asta luego"). "Asta la vista" is now not used in most regions, although everyone understands it.

1. Basic Spanish phrases - in a restaurant

• la carta ("la carte")- menu, list of dishes. If you say "menu, por favor", they may misunderstand and bring a set lunch.
• sin hielo ("sin hielo")- without ice. A very useful and important phrase. So, if you don’t specify, you will most likely be served a drink with ice, which will take up from a third to a half of the volume of the glass. Therefore, immediately when ordering, specify: "una cola sin yelo, por favor" - cola without ice, please.
• cerveza ("serves")- beer. Word jarra ("harra") means mug. However, if you say, for example, "una jarra grande, por favour", it immediately implies that you are ordering a large mug of beer. If the waiter does not really understand you, say "una jarra de servesa, por favor" - a mug of beer, please.
• vino ("wine")- wine (accent on the first syllable). If you don't specify which one, the default is red. For example, "una copa de wine, por favor!" - a glass of wine, please. "Dos Copas" - two glasses.
• cenicero ("senicero")- ashtray. Ask the waiter: "el senicero, por favor" - please, bring an ashtray.
• servicios ("services")- toilet. To know how to ask "where is the toilet" learn the following "los servicios, por favor?" Also the words "toilet" mean lavabo and aseo.
• cuenta ("cuenta")- check. "Bill, please" in Spanish would sound like this: "la cuenta, por favour."

1. Basic Spanish phrases - in store
