How to Say ‘How much do you weigh?’ in Mexican Spanish

¿Cuánto pesa usted?

KWAHN-toh PEH-sah oos-TEHD

[KWAHN-toh PEH-sah oos-TEHD]

💬 Usage Tip: With [usted], the verb stays in the same form you'd use for [él/ella]: [¿Cuánto pesa usted?], [¿Cuánto mide usted?]. In everyday speech, [usted] is often dropped because the verb already shows it.

🇲🇽 In Mexico: In Mexican medical settings, staff often use [usted] with adults as the default polite form. It can sound caring and professional rather than distant.
