Lesson Vocabulary & Phrases
Qué gusto
keh GOOS-toh
What a pleasure
🇲🇽 In Mexico, [Qué gusto] is a warm, natural greeting with family and in-laws; it can stand alone and doesn't sound overly formal.
See breakdown →Verlos otra vez
behr-lohs OH-trah bess
To see you again
💬 When [los] attaches to the end of [ver], you get [verlos]: [ver] + [los] = [to see you all/them]. You can swap the ending the same way: [verla], [verlo], [verlas].
See breakdown →Qué gusto verlos otra vez.
keh GOOS-toh behr-lohs OH-trah bess
It's nice to see you again.
💬 [Verlos] is [ver] plus [los] attached at the end: [to see you all/them]. Spanish does this a lot with verbs like [ayudarlos] or [llamarla].
See breakdown →¿Cómo han estado
KOH-moh ahn ehs-TAH-doh
How have you been
💬 [Han estado] is the [ustedes] form here, so it's how you ask more than one person [how have you been]. In Mexico, use this with a couple or group; for one person, say [¿Cómo ha estado?].
See breakdown →De salud
deh sah-LOOD
In terms of health
💬 [De salud] means [health-wise] or [in terms of health], not literally [of health]. You can reuse this pattern with other topics: [de trabajo], [de ánimo].
See breakdown →¿Cómo han estado de salud?
KOH-moh ahn ehs-TAH-doh deh sah-LOOD
How have you been health-wise?
💬 [Han estado] is the [ustedes] form, so this is for asking two or more people. In Mexico, [ustedes] is the normal plural [you], even in informal situations.
See breakdown →Muy bien
mwee byen
Very well
Gracias
GRAH-syahs
Thanks
🇲🇽 [Gracias] is always safe with in-laws, but if someone offers you food or drink, saying only [gracias] can sound like you're refusing. If you want it, say [sí, gracias] or [sí, por favor].
See breakdown →Muy bien, gracias.
mwee byen GRAH-syahs
Very well, thank you.
