Encantado/Igualmente.

Page 6: €¦  · Web viewHowever, when the waiter/waitress (camarero/a) asks you what you want they will use the formal (usted/ustedes) versions of the verb

Introducing people

InformalJuan, esta es Marta.Marta, este es Juan.

Encantado.

Encantada/Igualmente.

When somebody says Encantado/a it’s equivalent to saying Pleased to meet you in English. It literally means enchanted. It’s like saying delighted (to meet you).

If you’re a male you must always say encantado and if you’re a female you must always say encantada.

It’s the gender of the person saying it who determines which form to use, not the gender of the person they’re saying it to.

When someone says Encantado/a to you first you can say Encantado/a back to them or Igualmente. Igualmente (equally) is like saying likewise/me too.

Page 7: €¦  · Web viewHowever, when the waiter/waitress (camarero/a) asks you what you want they will use the formal (usted/ustedes) versions of the verb

Asking someone their name, nationality and where they live.

InformalHola. ¿Cómo te llamas?

Me llamo Juan.

¿De dónde eres?

Soy español.

¿Dónde vives?

Vivo en Granada.

Now we’re going to look at saying these things in a formal manner.

You would use the formal version when speaking to someone considerably older than you, someone in authority or a stranger. The formal register is also used by staff in shops and restaurants when talking to customers.

Meeting someone for the first time

Formal

Buenos días. ¿Cómo se llama?

Me llamo Juan. ¿Y usted?

Me llamo Sara. Mucho gusto.

Mucho gusto/Igualmente.

Introducing people

FormalJuan, esta es la señora Gonzalez.Marta, este es el señor Perez.Mucho gusto.

Mucho gusto/Igualmente.

When somebody says Mucho gusto it’s equivalent to saying Pleased to meet you in English but is more formal than encantado/a.

Mucho gusto is always the same regardless of gender.

When someone says Mucho gusto to you first you can say Mucho gusto back to them or Igualmente.

Asking someone their name, nationality and where they live.

FormalBuenos días. ¿Cómo se llama (usted)?

Me llamo Juan.

¿De dónde es usted?

Soy español.

¿Dónde vive?

Vivo en Granada.

un pareja – a male partner

una pareja – a female partner

el pareja – the male partner

la pareja – the female partner

Nacionalidad

Can you guess what the adjectives below mean?

masc. fem.

inglés inglesafrancés francesaestadounidense estadounidensealemán alemanaespañol españolaitaliano italianaportugués portuguesa

If you look at the masculine forms:

When the word end in -o, change it to -a to make the feminine

When the word ends in a consonant, add an -a to make the feminine.

When the word ends in -e, the feminine is identical.

These rules apply for other adjectives, not just adjectives of nationality and marital status.

You’ll see more adjectives later in the course.

The 5 ways of saying you in Spanish

In English we only have one way of saying you. Whether you are speaking to one or more people it’s you. In certain parts of the UK (I’m thinking Liverpool, Glasgow, Belfast) you will hear the plural youze.

In Spanish the word you use depends on whether you’re talking to one person or more and whether you’re being polite/formal or informal.

The different ways of saying you in Spanish.

Informal singular Formal singulartú ustedUsed when addressing:- Friends- Children- Classmates- Family- Pets- In general anyone who addresses you using tú.

Used when addressing:- Strangers.- People whom you wish to show respect.- An older person who you want to show respect (for example your friend's grandfather)- An honourable figure or an authority.- A public audience (using ustedes)

Informal plural (all male or mixed) Informal plural (all female)

Formal plural

vosotros vosotras ustedes

First we’re going to just look at the main family:

Homero = Marge

Bart Lisa Maggie

We want to describe the people in terms of their relationship to Homer.

For example:

Bart is Homer’s son.

In Spanish, they don’t have ’s to indicate possession so they have to say:

Bart is the son of Homer.

Bart es el hijo de Homero.

Now complete these sentences.

Marge es __________________ de Homero.

Lisa es ______________________ de Homero.

Now we’re going to look at Maggie:

30

Homero es ______________________ de Maggie.

Bart es ________________________ de Maggie.

Lisa es ___________________________ de Maggie.

Here’s some more family vocab:

7. Mona es _____________________ de Lisa.8. Patty es ______________________ de Bart.

Even more family vocab

It’s easy to say stepfather, stepmother, stepson etc. in Spanish. Take the words padre/madre/hijo/hija/hermano/hermana, remove the vowel at the end of the word then add -astro for males and -astra for females.

Stepfather, stepmother etc.

el padrastro la madrastrael hijastro la hijastra

el hermanastro la hermanastra

The in-laws is more difficult as they are nothing like padre/madre/hijo/hija etc. Sorry, you’ll just have to learn them.

In-laws

orQuiero un café.

orQuiero una cerveza.

We can use un/una.

Sometimes you’re asking for something which is plural so we don’t use un/una:

Quiero olivas.

Quiero calamares.

Other things which can never be plural (queso, paella) you would say:

Quiero queso.

Quiero paella.

Sometimes we can use ‘una ración de’ meaning ‘a portion of’ so we can say:

Quiero olivas.

Quiero queso.

or

Quiero una ración de olivas.

Quiero una ración de queso.

When you ask your friend(s) at the table with you what they want you’d use the informal (tú/vosotros/as) forms of querer:

talking to one person talking to 2 or more people¿Qué quieres? ¿Qué queréis?

¿Quieres vino? ¿Queréis vino?

However, when the waiter/waitress (camarero/a) asks you what you want they will use the formal (usted/ustedes) versions of the verb.

When talking to one customer:

¿Qué quiere tomar/comer/beber? (What do you want to have/eat/drink?)

When talking to two or more customers:

¿Qué quieren tomar/comer/beber?

Take it in turns asking your partner if they want the following items in the pictures below. Your partner will answer either ‘Sí, por favor.’ or ‘No, gracias.’. The first one has been done as an example.

- ¿Quieres un café con leche?- Sí, por favor.

- ¿Quieres una cerveza?- No, gracias.
