GREETINGS Language: Spanish IMrs. Pacheco

1

Greetings In the Spanish culture it is a custom to greet people with a hand shake, same as the North Americas hand shake.Another Spanish custom is to greet family and close friends (even co-workers) with a kiss on the cheek or a hug.

2FormalPerdone, Seor. or Con su permiso.Perdone, Seora.or Con su permiso.

Excuse me.For a young girl you can say Seorita but for a young man you will still use Seor.3Hola!Ejemplo: Hola, buenos das.

Buenos das. Ante Meridiem (a.m.) Buenas tardes. Entre 2:00 p.m. 6:00 p.m. Buenas noches.7:00 p.m. 12:00 a.m.

10:00 P.M.Buenos das. Buenas tardes. Buenas noches.

5Com est(s)?The word ests is used when you refer to family or friend yet when you refer to an older person or professional you use est.T (informal you)= estsUsted (formal you)= estVos (you, Spain) = estisAs you may know nouns and adjectives have gender; adjectives referring to a male will end in o and females in a. Respond based on how you are feeling:Estoy bien. Gracias.Estoy confundido (male)Estoy enferma (female)Change the o to an a to change gender from masculine to femine or vice versa.

6EstoyEstoy mal.

Estoy cansado (a).

Estoy feliz.

Estoy enojada (o).

7Y usted/t?You may wonder how the person is feeling or doing too, yet you do not have to repeat the complete question. In the English language you will ask, and you? Alike in Spanish you will ask y usted (formal)? Or Y t (informal)?Person 1: Com est? Person 2: Estoy bien y usted?

8Cmo te llamas?/Cmo se llama?As the conversation develops you may want to ask his or her name.You can use either Cmo te llamas (informal)? Or Cmo se llama (formal)?Me llamoMe llamo Raul. Cmo se llama?Me llamo Sonia Mucho gusto!Igualmente. (Raul replies)

9DespedidasIt is obvious that the conversation cannot go on forever, thus one must close the conversation by saying bye.There are different ways to say goodbye in Spanish.Some expressions are:Adis.Hasta maana.Nos vemos.Hasta luego.You can also say:Fue un placer conocerte.

You can say es un placer conocerte when you are introduced to someone or you introduce yourself (while shaking hands), notice that the only difference between using this frase at the beginning of a conversation or at the end are the words es (presente) and fue (pasado).10Vamos a conversar!(review)Perdone, SeoritaHola, buenos das.Buenos das.

11PARTE II12Presenta a un Amigo o FamiliarWhen you want to present a friend, a family member, a co-worker, any person you know to other people in Spanish you say; Te presento a.. (persons name) For example:Manuel: Buenas tardes, Rosa. Te presento a mi amigo, Jos.Rosa: Mucho gusto.Jos: Es un placer conocerte.

Rosa Jos Manuel You can also say encantado(a)= nice to meet you.

El es de Nueva York.Les talking to more than one personTe talking to one personLe talking to one person but in the form of usted, proper and more professionalos same as above but use as the form of vosostros Spain, Argentina, Uruguay and other South America countries13Possessive adjectives When you present someone in Spanish we use possessive adjectives.Possessive adjectives are used to show ownership.Example: mi libro (my book) tu pluma your penThere are five possessive adjectives.Mi, tu, su, nuestro, vuestroThree possessive adjectives (mi, tu, su) have only two forms, singular and plural.Mi (mis), tu (tus), su (sus)

Possessive adjectivesPossessive adjectives agree with the nouns they modify. That is, they agree with the thing possessed, not the possessor.mi libro (my book) mis libros (my books) tu pluma (your pen) tus plumas (your pens) Mi, tu and su do not have masculine and feminine forms. They stay the same, regardless of the gender of the nouns they modify.

Mi casa es tu casa.(My house is your house.)Mi means "my" ; tu means "your."Su, like tu, can mean "your." The difference between your (tu) and your (su) lies in the degree of formality the speaker wishes to convey.Mi casa es tu casa.(speaking to someone you would address as "t")Mi casa es su casa.(speaking to someone you would address as "usted")

Note: The two words "tu" and "t" are pronounced the same. T (with the written accent) is the subject pronoun meaning "you" (informal). Tu (without the written accent) is the possessive adjective meaning "your" (informal).Su has four meanings: his, her, their and your (formal).Mara busca a su hermana.Mara is looking for her sister.Juan busca a su hermana.Juan is looking for his sister.Ellos buscan a su hermana.They are looking for their sister.Su madre busca a su hermana.Your mother is looking for your sister.

If the meaning of su is not clear from the context of the sentence, a prepositional phrase is used in place of su.

Mara busca a la hermana de l.Mara looks for his sister.El hombre busca las llaves de ella.The man looks for her keys.Mara busca el cuaderno de Juan.Mara looks for Juan's notebook.El hombre busca las llaves de Samanta.The man looks for Samanta's keys.

Two possessive adjectives (nuestro and vuestro) have four forms.

nuestro

nuestra

nuestros

nuestras

vuestro

vuestra

vuestros

vuestras

Nuestro vs VuestroNuestro means "our."nuestro hermano our brother nuestra hermana our sister nuestros hermanos our brothersnuestras hermanas our sisters

Vuestro means "your" (familiar, plural). Like vosotros, vuestro is primarily used in Spain.vuestro libro your bookvuestra pluma your penvuestros libros your books vuestras plumas your pens
