Courtesy Phrases

Explanation:
We use courtesy phrases when we are trying to leave a good impression of ourselves to the people we are directing it to. Like when someone hands you something, you say Gracias(thanks). And they would respond by saying de nada, por nada or No hay de que which means your welcome. There are more courtesy phrases on the table.

Real life situation:
You are in a Mexican restaurant, the Mexican waiter hands you the food you ordered, but you’re stuck trying to say thank you in Spanish! You don’t remember how to say it! He doesn’t understands and says ¿Cómo?(what?) over and over again. How do you thank him, how would he reply and what are some other polite phrases you would use?!
Ex.

Muchas Gracias
Mil Gracias Thanks

Thanks a million.

¿Cómo? What was that? (If you didn’t catch what someone said.)

You are about to go to school. You run downstairs and see your mom’s friend in the kitchen, she doesn’t speak much English, but knows Spanish. Your mom is already at work and your mom’s friend is to send you off to school, you don’t want to step outside to test the weather, so you ask her “What’s the weather like outside?” She looks at you confused and says, “¿qué? (what?)”. She doesn’t know what you are saying! How else do you ask her what the weather is like outside and how will you know what her response is, unless you know the phrases and words and Spanish.

Asking/telling Time

If you want to ask the time in Spanish, you can say ¿Qué hora es? There are also a few others ways you can ask, too. There are represented on the table below. You can tell someone the time by saying, es la una for it’s one o’clock or son las # (in Spanish).
¿Qué hora son?----\
What time is it?
¿Qué hora tiene?--/
Es la una.-It’s one o’clock
Son las dos, tres cuatro,…-It’s two, three, four o’clock…
…y (number of minutes after the hour)-
…y cuarto- :15
…y media- :30
…menos cuarto- :45
…menos (number of minutes before the hour) -minus (number of minutes before the hour.
When using “menos (number of minutes before the hour)” be sure to always use the next hour and not the one you are currently in.
Ex. Its 10:50 you would say Son las once menos diez (It’s 11 o’clock minus ten minutes.)

Two- dos Fifteen- quince
Three- tres Sixteen- dieciseis
Four- cuatro Seventeen- diecisiete
Five- cinco Eighteen- dieciocho

¿Cómo estás? ¡Hola! ¡Adiós! (How are you? Hello! Goodbye!)

If you want to ask someone “¿Cómo estás?” or if you want to tell them “¡Hola!” Or “¡Adiós!” You have many ways to do it! They are the following:

¿Cómo estás? ---\ ¡Hola! - Hello!

¿Qué tal? ------- How are you? ¡Buenos días! -Good Morning/day!

¿Cómo va? ---- / ¡Buenas tardes! –Good Afternoon! ¡Buenas noches! – Good Night!

Más o menos-alright

¡Adiós! – Goodbye!

¡Chao! –Goodbye!

You can use this information when you are having a conversation with friend, family, and other people-you can say ¡Hola! and ¡Adiós! and you can ask them ¿Cómo estás?

All she wants to know is how to say hello, how are you, and goodbye. You can use this chart to learn that!!
