in the afternoon or

When answering the teléfono,

you might say

•¿Aló?

•Bueno…

•Dígame

• 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.

How might you answer the phone?

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”.

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

This is the formal “you”. We use to show respect to…

• elders,

• people in respected positions, and

• people you don’t know well or at all.

Use it with anyone with a title or people you call by

their last name.

When abbreviated it looks like this: Ud.

usted

usted = you (formal)

This is the informal or familiar “you” that is used with

• good friends,

• family, and

• people younger than you.

Used with people you call by their first name. If you are

unsure about the age or familiarity, use FORMAL Spanish.

tú

tú = you (informal/ familiar)

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.
