The most common response to "thank you" in Spain is "de nada," which means "you're welcome" or "you're welcome." But there are several other different phrases that are used in the same context in different situations. We will tell you about when, to whom and how to say “please”.

Steps

1 Standard "Please"

  1. 1 Say "de nada". This is the most popular expression used as a response to gratitude.
    • Actually, it literally translates as “you’re welcome.”
    • De This is a preposition that is translated differently depending on the context, in this case it is translated as “for.”
    • Nada it is a noun that translates as "nothing".
    • Most literal translation this phrase – “for nothing”.
    • There is no verb in this phrase. Therefore, there is no feminine or masculine gender here.
  2. 2 You can also say "por nada."This phrase is not used very often. Por nada is another variation of “please” or “you’re welcome.”
    • Verbatim por nada This is how it is translated: My pleasure. In Spanish por This is a preposition, which is also translated as “for.”
    • This phrase is not used in all Spanish-speaking countries. It is used mainly in Latin American countries such as Costa Rica and Puerto Rico, but not in Spain.
  3. 3 Say "no es nada". This means “no problem.”
    • Es– verb form ser, which means “to be.”
    • In Spanish, double negatives are used to strengthen a negative. Saying “Es nada” is wrong. The particle “no” is required here.

2 How to say "With pleasure"

  1. 1 Say "con gusto". This phrase literally translates as “with pleasure.”
    • Con translated as With.
    • Noun gusto translated as “pleasure.”
  2. 2 Say "mucho gusto". It means “with great pleasure.”
    • Mucho translated as “a lot”.
    • This phrase is used if, for example, you have just been introduced to a new person. Sometimes it is used as a response to gratitude. It’s something like “you’re welcome.” If you want to say “please” in response to “thank you,” use the phrase “con mucho gusto.”
  3. 3 Say "es mi placer". It means “at my pleasure.”
    • Es this is a verb form ser, the verb “to be.” It is used for the third person singular.
    • Mi means “mine”.
    • Placer it's a pleasure".
    • You can simply say “un placer,” or “a pleasure,” this means that you enjoyed helping the person who is now thanking you.
  4. 4 Say "el placer es mío.""The phrase is translated as follows: “For my pleasure.”
    • This phrase can be used when introducing you to a new person. If someone says “mucho gusto,” which roughly means “nice to meet you,” respond with “el placer es mio,” which literally means “it’s even nicer to meet you.”
    • Mio means “mine.”
  5. 5 You can answer “encantado.” The word is translated as “Very glad” or “I am very pleased.”

3 Other options

  1. 1 Say "no hay de qué."Literal translation: "There's nothing to thank me for."
    • Hay not translated in this context, but no hay means "no".
    • Qué translated as "what."
  2. 2 Answer “no tiene importancia.”” Literally this phrase is translated as “It doesn’t matter at all.”
    • Tiene This is the third person singular form of the verb “tener,” which means “to have.”
    • Importancia means “important.”
    • This means that it was not at all difficult for you to help the person, and there is nothing to thank you for.
  • There is no literal translation of the word “please” as a response to “thank you” in Spanish. Por favor This is a literal translation of the word "please", but it cannot be used in this situation, as a response to gratitude.

When planning 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 “mine doesn’t understand yours.”

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

  1. Basic Spanish Phrases - General Rules

Never be shy 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 the Spaniards over. Remember that in Spanish there is no reduction of sounds, i.e. All vowel sounds must be pronounced clearly, regardless of whether they are stressed or not. Otherwise, you may not be understood or understood in the way you would like.

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

  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: acquaintances, strangers, in a store, cafe, etc.
  • por favor ("por favor")- Please. Any request well-mannered person by Spanish standards, etiquette should be accompanied by this phrase.
  • gracias ("gracias")- Thank you. Pay attention to the pronunciation, the correct one is “graSias”.
  • si ("yes"), no ("no"). In this country it is customary to use “but, gracias”, “si, por favor”.
  • vale ("bale")- okay, that's fine
  • adios ("adyos")- goodbye, bye. In Spain, it is customary to always say goodbye to everyone with this word. Hasta luego is also often used. “Hasta la vista” is now not used in most regions, although everyone understands it.

  1. Basic Spanish phrases - in a restaurant
  • la carta ("la card")- menu, list of dishes. If you say “menu, por favor,” they may misunderstand and bring you 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 half the volume of the glass. Therefore, when ordering, immediately specify: “una cola sin yelo, por favor” - cola without ice, please.
  • cerveza ("service")- beer. Word jarra ("harra") means mug. However, if you say, for example, “una harra grande, por favor,” it immediately implies that you are ordering a large glass of beer. If the waiter doesn’t really understand you, say “una jarra de servesa, por favor” - a glass of beer, please.
  • vino ("wine")- wine (emphasis on the first syllable). If it is not specified which one, the default is red. For example, “una copa de vino, por favor!” - a glass of wine, please. "Dos Copas" - two glasses.
  • cenicero ("cenicero")- ashtray. Ask the waiter: “el senicero, por favor” - please bring an ashtray.
  • servicios ("servicios")- 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 be "la cuenta, por favor."

  1. Basic Spanish phrases - in the store
  • Estoy mirando ("estoy Mirando")- I look. A special phrase for overly kind sellers who are attached to you with a desire to help. Say in response “estoy mirando, gracias,” which means “I’m looking at what you have, but haven’t chosen it yet, thank you.” A win-win option - stay nice and get rid of the seller.
  • cuanto vale? ("quanto bale?")- what is the price? If you use it with queria eso, you will feel like a fish in water when shopping in Spain. You can also ask: “caria eso, quanto bale, por favor?”, “quanto bale eso, por favor?”
  • probarme - (“probarme”)- try it on yourself. If you ask: “karia probarme, por favor”, it means “Please, I would like to try on these clothes.”
  • probadores ("probadores")- dressing room. Ask, “probadores, por favor,” and they will tell you where the fitting booth is.
  • tarjeta ("tarheta")- card. "Con tarheta" will mean "can I pay by card."
  • en efectivo ("en effective")- cash. At the checkout in stores they will ask you “con tarheta o en effecivo?” - Do you want to pay by card or cash?

  1. Basic phrases of the Spanish language - to note
  • linda ("Linda"), guapa ("guapa")- beautiful, pretty. If you want to compliment a Spanish woman, use these words.
  • Spaniards often use terms of endearment, adding the softening suffix -ita. For example, mamasita ("mamacita") - mummy, gordita ("gordita") - plump, solecito ("solesito")- Sun.
  1. Basic Spanish Phrases - Emergency Situations
  • ayúdeme ("ayudeme")- help me
  • llame ("lyame")- call
  • policía ("policy")- police. For example, in an emergency, shout: “liame a la policeia” - “call the police.”
  • urgencias ("urgensias")- ambulance
  • llame a un médico ("llame a un medico")- Call a doctor
  • me siento mal ("me siento mal")- I feel bad
  1. Basic Spanish Phrases - Funny Phrases
  • Te he traído la grasa ("te e traído a grasa")- I brought you lard. Knowing this phrase in Spanish will probably touch the hearts of any resident of the Pyrenees.
  • Mañana ("manyana")- Tomorrow. Don't be surprised, but remember this word. The Spaniards simply adore it and use it at every step, as if following the principle: “Why do something today if it can be done tomorrow?”
  • Me encanta sangria ("Me encanta sAngria")- I love sangria. Sangria is a delicious national drink of the Spaniards.
