Lesson Vocabulary & Phrases
Hola.
OH-lah
Hi.
Perdona.
per-DOH-nah
Sorry.
🇪🇸 In Spain, [perdona] is a soft, natural way to get someone's attention before a compliment. It lands warmer and less stiff than a more formal opening.
See breakdown →Perdona que te moleste.
per-DOH-nah keh teh moh-LES-teh
Sorry to bother you.
💬 After [perdona], Spanish often uses [que] + a full verb: [Perdona que te moleste], [Perdona que llegue tarde]. It's a handy pattern for softening what comes next.
See breakdown →Hola, perdona que te moleste.
OH-lah per-DOH-nah keh teh moh-LES-teh
Hi, sorry to bother you.
💬 After [perdona], Spanish often uses [que] + a full verb: [Perdona que te moleste], [Perdona que llegue tarde]. It's a handy pattern for softening what comes next.
See breakdown →No.
noh
No.
No molestas.
noh moh-LES-tahs
You're not bothering me.
💬 Spanish often leaves out pronouns, so [No molestas] already means 'you're not bothering me' without saying [tú]. You'll hear this a lot with verb endings that make the subject clear.
See breakdown →Dime.
DEE-meh
Go ahead.
🇪🇸 At a bar, [dime] often means 'go ahead' or 'tell me,' not literally 'tell me.' It's casual and friendly, and can sound more open than a direct yes/no reply.
See breakdown →Quería.
keh-REE-ah
I wanted to.
💬 [Quería] literally means 'I wanted,' but it's often used to sound softer and less abrupt than [quiero]. The same trick works in [quería preguntarte una cosa].
See breakdown →Decirte.
deh-SEER-teh
To tell you.
💬 When [te] attaches to the end of the verb, as in [decirte], it means 'to tell you.' You'll see the same with [verte] ('to see you') and [invitarte] ('to invite you').
