Giving a date compliments: Telling them you enjoy their company

💬 pasarlo bien means "to have a good time", and the lo stays put: lo pasamos genial "we had a great time".

💬 The thing you love comes after and controls the verb: me encantan tus zapatos "I love your shoes" with plural encantan.

💬 After con, ti fuses into contigo, never con ti. Same with me: conmigo "with me".

💬 Spanish uses the plain verb estar where English uses "being". Same in me encanta bailar "I love dancing".

💬 Me encanta works like "it delights me": the thing you love comes after, and the verb only changes for plural things: me encantan tus ojos "I love your eyes".

💬 Use a mí también to agree with me gusta-type sentences; for ordinary verbs it's yo también. To agree with a negative, say a mí tampoco "me neither".

💬 Literally "time passes flying": the -ando ending works like English "-ing". Swap it in: pasa corriendo "it rushes by".

💬 Say simpático to a man and simpática to a woman.

🇪🇸 Simpático means warm and fun to be around, not "sympathetic". It's a friendly compliment, a touch less flirty than guapo "good-looking".

💬 "To laugh" is reírse, so it always comes with me, te and so on: te ríes mucho "you laugh a lot". The accent on río keeps the stress on the i: (REE-oh).

💬 quedar usually means "to stay", but here it means "to arrange to meet". ¿Quedamos a las ocho? "Shall we meet at eight?"

🇪🇸 In Spain this is the standard, low-pressure way to suggest seeing someone again, used for friends and dates alike.

💬 Days take el where English uses "on": el sábado "on Saturday", los sábados "on Saturdays".

💬 Hasta "until" plus any time makes a goodbye: hasta mañana "see you tomorrow", hasta luego "see you later".

🇪🇸 A standard sign-off for messages and calls between friends and family, so it's warm but not necessarily romantic. In person, Spaniards greet and say goodbye with two cheek kisses, right cheek first.
