Lesson Vocabulary & Phrases
Siempre
SYEM-preh
Always
Sonríes
sohn-REE-ehs
You smile
💬 [Sonríes] is the [tú] form, so the [you] is already built into the verb. Spanish often drops [tú] unless you want extra emphasis: [¿Siempre sonríes así?] sounds natural without it.
See breakdown →Así
ah-SEE
Like that
¿Siempre sonríes así?
SYEM-preh sohn-REE-ehs ah-SEE
Do you always smile like that?
🇲🇽 This is light and flirty if said with a smile, but it can also sound too forward if you use it cold with a stranger. In Mexico, tone matters a lot here: playful delivery makes it land as teasing, not creepy.
See breakdown →O solo
oh SOH-loh
Or only
💬 [Solo] here means [only/just], not [alone]. Same word, different meaning from [estoy solo] = [I'm alone].
See breakdown →Cuando
KWAHN-doh
When
Quieres
kee-EH-rehs
You want
Problemas
proh-BLEH-mahs
Trouble
¿O solo cuando quieres problemas?
oh SOH-loh KWAHN-doh kee-EH-rehs proh-BLEH-mahs
Or only when you're looking for trouble?
💬 [Querer problemas] literally says [to want trouble], but it works like English [to be looking for trouble]. You can reuse that same pattern with other nouns, like [no quiero drama].
🇲🇽 This is playful teasing, not something you'd usually say in a genuinely tense moment. In a bar, it works best once the vibe is already clearly mutual and joking.
