100 expressions in Spanish that will help you face your day, your everyday. Que te van a ayudar a enfrentarte a la vida. Sí. Maybe you're one of those people who maybe who doesn't even say good morning.
Buenos días. No. You just don't say it. No. You just keep your sight away from people.
Well, in that case, you may not even want to learn Spanish. But you are. not one of those and you actually want to be chatty and learn more Spanish to talk more then be with me because I am going to show you these 100 expressions that will come right, right perfect for your everyday. Eso espero. I hope so.
Espero que no. I hope not. Espero que no.
For example, Somebody said last time, Parece que va a llover. Parece que va a llover. Parece que va a llover.
And I said, Espero que no. Not at this time. I'm going to get soaking wet.
Espero que no. Espero que no llueva. I hope not.
Espero que no. Parece que va a llover. I said, Yo dije, Espero que no. Todavía no.
Not yet. Todavía no. Not yet.
For example, if somebody knocks on the door and says, ¿Puedo pasar? May I come in? ¿Puedo pasar?
¿Puedo pasar? And maybe you're not ready yet. Todavía no. Todavía no.
Last time I wanted to show my sister a blouse and she said, ¿Puedo pasar? And I said, Todavía no. Not yet.
Todavía no. Remember to pronounce every vowel, every letter. Toda-vi-a-no. Toda-vi-a-no.
Toda-vi-a-no. Toda-vi-a-no. Not yet. No puedo. No puedo.
I can't. No puedo. No puedo.
No puedo. No puedo. I can't.
I can ask you, ¿me acompañas? Could you join me? Could you come with me?
You may say, no puedo, estoy ocupada, estoy ocupado. No puedo, I can't. Claro, por supuesto, of course, a bit more formal. Con gusto, very nice, very casual. Con gusto, these three are for of course.
Of course, claro, you may say. You want to be more formal? Por supuesto, you want to be casual, nice.
You may say. Con gusto, like literally with pleasure. Con gusto, claro. Por supuesto, con gusto.
Of course. Ya voy, ya voy. I am coming, ya voy.
Wait for me, I'm getting there, I'm on my way. I'm coming, ya voy. You see, you can say ya voy, ya voy. Exasperated, happy, whatever. I'm coming, ya voy.
You know what? Ya me voy. I am leaving.
What is the difference? Me. Ya me voy.
Que no, ya me voy. Ya me voy. No. Ya me voy. You know what?
I'm tired of teaching Spanish. Ya me voy. I'll learn with the board if you want.
Well, change my mind. Ya me voy. I am leaving. Ya voy.
I am coming. Ya voy. Ya me voy. If you want to learn more expressions and more uses about these two, you may want to watch my video about the differences between ya voy y ya me voy. Por el momento, at the moment, ya me voy.
I'm leaving. I decided to come back after not knowing what to do with myself except teaching Spanish. Ya regresé. I'm back. Ya regresé.
I'm back! Ya regresé, if you want to announce to anybody. Ya regresó. Hey, Ana regresó. She decided she didn't know what else to do with her life except teaching in Spanish.
Ya regresó. And for me, I would say, ya regresé. Regresé, see? With the emphasis at the end, the last syllable.
Ya regresé. I'm back! Más rápido.
Faster, Ana! You're going too slowly. Faster. Más rápido. Más is like literally more rapid.
Faster. Más rápido. Más rápido. Okay, okay, ya voy, ya voy. Apúrate!
Apúrate, con énfasis en la U, ¿no? Apúrate, hurry up, apúrate. You want to tell somebody to hurry up? You'll tell him or her, apúrate.
Con calma, con calma. Calma is calmness. So you really are saying with calmness.
Last time I was helping my nephew to do his homework and he was really getting exasperated. I had to tell him, con calma. Con calma, with patience, slow down.
Easy, take it easy, con calma, we're going to get it done, you just have to do it. Con calma, with calmness. Easy, slow down, with patience, con calma. Ni idea.
Or, no tengo idea. Both are, I have no idea, I have no clue, I don't have any idea, I don't know. Ni idea o no tengo idea.
A lot of people would use ni idea. I know it might sound strange to you because it ends with I and it starts with I, but you have to say ni. Like for example, imagine you were saying kni, no? Ni, ni, no?
Ni idea, no? Como doble i in English. Ni idea, long, right? Ni idea. You might think, oh I sound weird, I sound strange.
That's fine. That's how it is in Spanish. You say, ni idea, ni idea, ni idea. It's like a very eye, a very long eye. Ni idea, ni idea.
And just make the face too, ni idea. Ni idea. I have no idea what I'm teaching.
Lo sabía, lo sabía. I knew it. Lo sabía.
I don't know if you've seen George from Seinfeld. He often says, I knew it! No, if I were to dub, to do the dubbing for George, then I would say, Lo sabía, lo sabía.
Lo sabía, sabía, sabía, lo sabía. Don't get scared with too many vowels. Lo sabía, I knew it. Now, this, this, two options are quite different and you often make a mistake with this so here we're going to make it clear. Por aquí, por aquí, around here or this way, around here, por aquí or this way, this way, por aquí, like follow me, por aquí, por ahí, that way.
Ah, vete por ahí, go that way. Vete por ahí, ahí, no, ahí, no, ahí. Ahí. So the H doesn't have a sound.
Por ahí. Por aquí. This way.
Or around here. It was around here. The keys were around here.
Estaban por aquí. This way. Por aquí.
Follow me. This way. That way.
Por ahí. When you want to tell somebody, don't forget. Don't forget what I told you.
to do or what I told you to bring, whatever. Don't forget. In Spanish, you would say, Que no se te olvide.
Que no se te olvide. Que no se te olvide. Ana, don't forget. Ana, que no se te olvide.
Okay, sí, sí, no se me va a olvidar. Don't forget. Que no se te olvide.
I know, it's very long, right? Especially when you see it in English, it's so short. in Spanish a whole sentence, but it's very easy to pronounce it.
Que no se te olvide. Don't forget what I'm teaching you today. Que no se te olvide. When you want to say, for example, Lo olvidé por completo. I completely forgot about it.
I completely forgot. See, I am very distracted these days. Estoy muy distraída, muy distraída. Necesito enfocarme.
Necesito Poner atención porque estoy muy distraída. And so what happened? Lo olvidé por completo.
I forgot about it completely. Lo olvidé. I forgot it.
Lo olvidé. Lo olvidé por completo. I completely forgot about it.
Lo olvidé por completo. Sí. Que no se te olvide.
This E doesn't have an accent, right? Doesn't have a tilde. And this one has.
So how are you going to pronounce each of them? Que no se te olvide. Lo olvidé. ¿Sí? Que no se te olvide.
All smooth. All the vowels, all the letters are smooth. And this one, bit rough at the end.
Que no se te olvide. Lo... Que no se te olvide.
Soft and nice. Rough. Que no...
Lo olvidé. Lo olvidé. Mejor. Mejor.
Better. Mejor. See here, this is a J, right? If that word were in English, you would say mayor, something like that, mayor. But because you are speaking Spanish, I don't want to hear any of that ch.
It's mejor, as if you had an H, imagine. Mejor, mejor, mejor, better. Mucho mejor, much better. Mucho mejor, mucho mejor.
Oh, now with this lesson, Ana, estoy mucho mejor. I am much better. I am much better. better with this lesson now I'm going to teach you something very very Spanish very interesting when for example you change your mind for yes or for not like for better or worse let's say you're gonna buy something or you were going to buy something and you were looking at something I was looking at a mug to have my coffee and it was really pretty looked at it revised it viewed it touched it felt it Lo toqué, lo vi, lo sentí. And I was about to buy it.
What did I say to myself? Mejor no. Better not. Mejor no.
Now, maybe it didn't happen, but maybe I left the store and I was like, better yes. So I go back and buy it. That didn't happen. But if that had happened, I would have said, mejor sí. Better yes.
Better not and it's when you change your mind like, mejor no. You know, going to say, I'm not going to buy it. Mejor no.
I come out and I say, mejor sí. Better yes. So, mejor, better, mucho mejor, much better, much better, mejor sí. Oh, mejor no. Mejor no aprendo español.
Lo dudo. I doubt it. Lo dudo.
I doubt it. Just today somebody was asking me about a song of Enrique Iglesias and then this person told me, I think he wrote it, like he wrote this song. Creo que la escribió and I said, lo dudo, I doubt it. Not that I have any prejudices against him, but I doubt it, lo dudo.
I can barely sing. Bueno, yeah. Lo dudo. I doubt it. Sometimes when you're learning Spanish, when you're just starting to learn Spanish, you don't know how to say bye to people.
Imagine you're talking to some native, Spanish native speakers, and you don't know how to naturally say, see you, bye, see you later. A good phrase to use in that context would be, nos vemos. It's very casual, yet nice, appropriate, correct, polite. Nos vemos. ¿Sí?
Nos vemos. If you want to be more specific because you know you're going to see those people or a person somewhere, you could say, Nos vemos en, in whatever, en la esquina, at the corner, la esquina, the corner. Nos vemos en la casa.
See you at home. Nos vemos en la casa. See you at the stop, maybe at the bus stop or the taxi stop, any stop. Nos vemos en la parada. La parada.
parada. En la estación. See you at the station. So you could say just casually to say farewell, to say bye to people.
Nos vemos. Bueno, nos vemos. Nos vemos en la esquina. See you at the corner. Nos vemos en la casa.
See you at home. Nos vemos en la parada. See you at the corner. Nos vemos en la estación.
Or in the place of where you're going to see that person or those people. Nos vemos. A la derecha, to the right.
A la izquierda, to the left. A la derecha, a la izquierda. For example, if you want somebody to look to the right or to the left, tell this person, Volte a la derecha. Turn to your right.
Turn to your left. Voltea a la izquierda discretamente. Hace calor. It's hot.
Hace calor. When talking about the weather, you would say, hace calor. Hace calor. It's hot.

It's hot. How hot it is today. Está caliente.
Está caliente. Caliente. Caliente for a drink. Temperature. You put your fingers.
¡Ah! Me quemé. Está caliente. ¿Sí? Está muy caliente.
So you wouldn't say that for the weather, for example. Está caliente. You would say hace calor. But for your tea or your coffee, está caliente. Qué bueno.
Café es rico caliente. The weather hace calor. This is super useful, really, en serio, en serio. Que te vaya bien. Que te vaya bien.
Que te vaya bien. It's like a wish, like a wish you make to somebody. You're telling this person, have fun, have a good time, have a good trip, have a good day, have a good experience, whatever you're doing, right? You can say, nos vemos.
Que te vaya bien. Que te vaya bien. It's like... Go, like, have fun. Stay safe.
It's like everything together when you're wishing well, good wishes to somebody who's doing, who's about to do something. Me encanta. Me encanta. Some of you have told me, me encanta tu blusa, Ana.

And you can say, Acabo de llegar. I just arrived. Está de moda. It's trendy.
Literally, it's of mode. No, it's in the mode. Está de moda. It's trendy. A friend of mine was just telling me how certain clothes that It's trendy right now.

Estoy a favor o estoy en contra. Por favor, please, por favor. Notice here that por favor is written separately. It's two words, not one. Por favor.
Obviously, you think it's one because you say por favor. So it sounds like one. But if you write it, you have to make sure you use the two words. Por favor.

Espero que estés bien. Now, many of you make a mistake here and say Espero que estás bien. You see the difference? Estés con la E y estás con la A. I hope you are well.

You're not stating a fact. You are well. Estás bien. You are well.
Yeah, sure. Estás bien. Espero.
I hope. I hope. ¿Qué? Estés, estés, estés bien.
