Demonstrating an idea at the conference: Walking someone through a demo

💬 The all-purpose greeting. In Mexico it’s friendly and works for almost any situation.

🇲🇽 At conferences, pair it with a quick smile and (if appropriate) a handshake; "Hola" is perfectly professional.

💬 Literally “Do you have…?” Use it to ask for time, items, or info: “¿Tienes el link?”

🇲🇽 In Mexico, this sounds direct but normal; add “por favor” to soften it if you’re asking a favor.

💬 Quick pause phrase. You’ll also hear “Un momentito” (even shorter/cuter).

🇲🇽 People often say it while searching a file or plugging in an HDMI—conference life.

💬 Polite way to ask for someone’s time. Add “rápido” for “just a sec”: “¿Tienes un momento, rápido?”

🇲🇽 Common networking opener at events in Mexico—respectful, not pushy.

💬 In Mexico, “Te quiero…” can sound warm. If you want more neutral/professional: “Te voy a mostrar…” or “Quisiera mostrarte…”.

🇲🇽 With new contacts, many people use “¿Te puedo mostrar…?” to be extra courteous.

💬 Feminine noun: “una idea buena”. Fun fact: it starts with i- but still uses “la/una”.

🇲🇽 In meetings, “Traigo una idea” (“I’ve got an idea”) is a very Mexican, upbeat way to pitch.

💬 Good pitch starter. For a softer tone: “Te quería mostrar una idea…” (imperfect = more polite).

🇲🇽 In Mexican business settings, softening phrases is common to sound collaborative.

💬 Preposition for location/context: “en la pantalla”, “en el demo”, “en la app”.

🇲🇽 You’ll hear lots of “en” during demos: “en esta parte”, “en este paso” (in this step).

💬 Loanword used a lot in tech. Also common: “la demo” (some teams use feminine), but “el demo” is very common in Mexico.

🇲🇽 At conferences, “¿Vas a dar demo?” = “Are you giving a demo?” Super normal Spanglish.
