is you get to express your opinions to people who wouldn't understand you if you didn't speak Spanish.
Use the following expressions to say how you liked or didn't like an event or show, or something that happened.
And don't forget to listen to the audio file -- it's recorded by a native speaker and gives you an example of pronunciation to imitate.
Many of these are phrases you would only use with someone you know very well. You'll notice that all these phrases use familiar (tu) conjugation of the verbs.
ˇApurate!
Hurry up!
Use this with your closest friends when you don't have the time to wait.
mas o menos
more or less
Use this phrase everywhere we'd say 'more or less' in English.
depende
it depends
Just like in English, you can add to this phrase "what it depends on" -- use depende de... to tell someone exactly what it depends on.
un momento
just a minute
This is a handy response to use on the telephone when the caller asks to talk to someone. You can also turn it into "just a minute, please" like this: Un momento, por favor.
puede ser -- tal vez -- a lo mejor
maybe
There are three good ways to say the word maybe in Spanish. The best advice I have is to use the one(s) that the Spanish speakers you talk to use. But all 3 will be understood.
lo dudo
I doubt it
Sometimes you might have to express a little doubt about a certain subject, and this is exactly the way to do it.
ˇno te preocupes!
Don't worry!
Learn this Spanish phrase when you want to reassure someone everything is OK.
ˇdejame en paz!
Leave me alone!
Borders on rude with some folks but among the closest of friends it could be appropriate.
igualmente
likewise -- the same to you
This is a polite way to return good wishes to someone.
ˇDecidate!
Decide! -- Make up your mind!
Forceful exclamation.
ˇVete!
Go away! -- Get out of here!
Again, like the phrase above, not for use in all situations...
ˇLargate!
Go away!
Another phrase for use among close friends.
ˇOlvidalo!
Never mind!
This can also be traslated forget about it!
