Lesson Vocabulary & Phrases
¿Está libre este sitio?
es-TAH LEE-breh ES-teh SEE-tyoh
Is this seat free?
💬 In questions, Spanish often keeps the same word order as a statement: [¿Está libre este sitio?] literally matches [This seat is free?]. You can reuse that pattern easily: [¿Está ocupado este sitio?] = "Is this seat taken?".

ES-teh SEE-tyoh es-TAH LEE-breh
This seat is free.
Siéntate.
SYEN-tah-teh
Have a seat.
💬 [Siéntate] is the [tú] command of [sentarse], "to sit down," with the little [te] stuck on the end. You'll see the same pattern in other everyday commands: [levántate] "get up," [cállate] "be quiet."
🇪🇸 Fine in a warm, casual moment, but a bit direct with someone you've just met. In this situation, many people would soften it with [si quieres] or just gesture to the seat.
