Introductions and Welcome

|---|---|---|
| ¿Cómo te llamas? | What’s your name? | Informal |
| Mucho gusto | Pleasure/Nice to meet you | Neutral |
| Encantado/ encantada | Pleasure (to meet you) | Neutral |

Is Mucho Gusto polite?
A1 Level. How to Be Polite in Spanish: Essential Phrases and Tips Early on in Spanish you have learned that when you are introduced to people you say, Mucho gusto for nice to meet you, When you shake hands, if the other person says ” mucho gusto ” (nice to meet you) first, it is acceptable to reply: ” igualmente ” ( likewise ) or ” el gusto es mío ” ( the pleasure is mine ).
You are showing good manners in Spanish with these phrases. You can also use the response :”encantado” (nice meeting you), if you’re a man. ” encantada ” if you’re a woman. Often when a native speaker extends his hand to greet you, other than just saying his name you may hear: ” Carlos Vargas Lorca, a sus ordenes”,
or ” Alberto Santos Ruiz para servirle”. This is often said very quickly, especially when children introduce themselves. It can sound like a string of words until the end when you can just barely make out something about ” ordenes ” or ” servirle “, Those two phrases basically mean “at your service”.
- Again these normal protocol phrases show that they are being polite in Spanish.
- When the person says their two last names, the first is the father’s last name, the second is the mother’s.
- So Señor Vargas, and Señor Santos, is how you would address these men (from the previous examples) in a formal situation.
Let’s see an example. In an informal situation (and if they are older men) you might address them as ” Don Carlos” or ” Don Alberto”, “Don” is a friendly term of respect used with older men. It is combined with the first name only, not the last name. ” Doña” is used with women.
Is Mucho Gusto much pleasure?
Literally it meams so much pleasure, and it’s used to express your satisfaction when meeting someone for the first time, another way of saying it could be: es un placer conocerte. ‘Mucho gusto’ can be translated to ‘ my pleasure (to help you)’ or ‘pleased to meet you.’
What do you say to Mucho Gusto?
Igualmente – ‘ Igualmente ‘ is by far the most common response to ‘ mucho gusto ‘ and it’s literal translation would be ‘ likewise ‘. It can be used in almost any situation (breathe sigh of relief!) as its formal Spanish, so you’ve got the green light to use it when being introduced to a potential employer or someone deemed “important”.
What is Bien Bonita?
Estas bien bonita: you’re very beautiful/gorgeous/hot/etc.

How do you greet someone in Spain?
Spanish Culture – Greetings Nina Evason, 2018
A common casual greeting involves a kiss on each cheek, starting with the left. This form of greeting is especially common between women. Men may be more likely to kiss women hello and goodbye than to shake their hand. A firm handshake with eye contact and a smile is the appropriate greeting in professional contexts. Once people become acquainted, greetings become a lot warmer and Spaniards often prefer to embrace ( abrazo ). This may involve a hug accompanied with a pat on the shoulder or elbow (between men) Some Spanish men may place their left hand on the right forearm of another person when shaking hands to indicate warmth. In formal settings, you may refer to someone using their professional or personal titles – for example, ‘ Señor ‘ (Mr) for men and ‘ Señora ‘ (Ms) for women. However, it is rare for someone’s friends to address them using their title and surname. Spaniards move onto a first name basis very quickly, even in professional settings. The common verbal greeting is ” Buenos dias ” (Good day), ” Buenas tardes ” (Good afternoon) or ” Buenas noches ” (Good evening/night) depending on the time of day. People may also say ” ¿ Como está? ” (How are you). A more casual greeting is ” Hola ” (Hello).

| Hi, everyone, I’m Jasmine from SpanishPod101.com. In this video, we’ll be talking about 10 responses to “how are you?” |
| We’re at the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles, California. Let’s begin! |
| 1. Estoy bien. “I’m fine.” |
| This is a common way to answer ¿Cómo estás? “How are you?” |
| estoy means “I am,” and bien means “fine;” so it literally means “I’m fine.” |
| When someone asks you ¿Cómo estás? If you feel alright, you say estoy bien; you could also say, estoy muy bien, to give more emphasis, which means “very good” or “very well.” |
| You can also add one extra word, gracias, meaning “thanks”, and estoy bien, gracias; it means “I’m fine, thank you.” |
| 2. ¿Cómo estás? “How are you?” |
| When someone asks you ¿Cómo estás? meaning “How are you?” You can use the same question to answer back. For example, you can say, estoy bien, ¿cómo estás? It means “I’m fine, how are you?” |
| Cómo means “how” and estas means “are you.” This is the informal way to ask how are you, so use it in informal setting only. Using this word you can say, ¿Qué novedades? ¿Cómo estás? Which means “What’s new? How are you?” |
| 3. ¿Cómo está usted? “How are you? (formal)” |
| This is the formal way to ask how are you. ¿Cómo está usted? |
| Usted is the formal register, so if someone asks you ¿Cómo está usted? politely, make sure to answer that using this expression. For example, muy bien. ¿Cómo está usted? Meaning “I’m good. How are you?” |
| 4. ¿Y usted? “And you?” |
| If you don’t want to repeat the question this is the best way to respond. For example, if you feel good, you can say, Yo estoy bien. ¿Y usted? it means “I’m well, and you, ma’am?” or “I’m well, and you, sir?” |
| This has a formal register usted, so it’s a form of expression. |
| 5. más o menos “more or less” |
| When you’re not doing so good but just okay as usual, you use this expression, más o menos. It means “more or less.” People use this expression often in a daily conversation, too. For example, Sólo de vez en cuando, una vez al mes, más o menos. ¿Tú vas mucho? Means “only sometimes. once a month, more or less. Do you go a lot?” |
| 6. muy bien “very good” |
| Muy bien is the way to say “very well” and “I’m very well.” Using this word you can say, yo estoy muy bien, which means “I’m very well.” |
| If you’re feeling really bad, however, you can use the opposite muy mal. Muy mal means “bad” so it often means “very bad.” But try to keep it short and positive during greetings. |
| 7. gracias “thank you” |
| Saying thank you or gracias is also a good way to respond to “how are you?” You can simply say gracias, which means “thank you,” or you can say muchas gracias to say “thank you very much.” |
| 8. Tengo sueño. “I’m sleepy.” |
| When your friend asks you ¿Cómo estás? “How are you?” You can be honest and say “I’m sleepy,” tengo sueño. Using one of the expressions that we learned earlier, you can also say, más o menos, tengo sueño. This means “more or less. I’m sleepy.” |
| 9. Estoy muy bien. “I’m great.” |
| I use this often, estoy muy bien, “I’m great.” |
| In a sentence, you can say, estoy muy bien. ¿Cómo estás tú? to mean “I’m great. How are you?” |
| 10. No tan bien. “Not so well.” |
| When you’re not feeling well, you can use this. No is like English word “no,” and tan bien mean “so well.” So No tan bien means “Not so well.” |
| Using this word you can say, No tan bien, pero está bien. This means “not so well, but it’s okay.” |
| Okay, that’s about it to 10 responses to “how are you?” |
| And if you really want to become fluent and speak Spanish from the very first lesson, go to SpanishPod101.com. |

Which countries say Mucho Gusto?

I’d start with words such as: thank you (gracias); hello CON MUCHO GUSTO/CON GUSTO ( moo -cho guhs -toh) What words first come to mind when you think of the most commonly used words? Tough question, huh? What comes to my mind? I’d start with words such as: thank you ( gracias ); hello ( hola ); good-bye ( adiós ); love ( amor ); friends ( amigos ); and so forth.
It’s obviously very common to give thanks in any language. When saying “gracias” to a Costa Rican, chances are their reply was most likely ” Con (mucho) gusto! ” Does that response ring a bell? Con mucho gusto is a Costa Rican way of saying “you’re welcome.” Frequently, when you give thanks to a Spanish speaker from Spain, Mexico, or somewhere else in Latin America, you have heard the expression ” De nada” which is not as commonly said here in Costa Rica.
Con mucho gusto is an expression you will hear hundreds and even thousands of times if you happen to live in Costa Rica for many years. Even if you are just visiting, you will hear it a few times, from the cab driver at the airport, to a waiter at a restaurant, or just about any Costa Rican you ever come across and give thanks to.
Can you say Mucho Gusto for thank you?
Common Phrases in Spanish to Survive a Conversation If you’re planning to take a trip in a Spanish-speaking country and don’t know Spanish yet, it’s time to equip yourself with the basics — including courteous amenities. In Costa Rica, for example, the people are very open and patient with tourists, yet they still place value on being respectful and pleasant to everyone.
Buenos días/ buen día / buenas tardes/ buenas noches : These greetings mean respectively ‘Good morning,’ ‘good afternoon,’ and ‘good day.’ Buenas : Local ticos use this abbreviated greeting at any time of the day. Note: In Costa Rica, it’s common to use buenas or adiós both as a quick greeting and brief farewell when you’re are not intending to stop.
Colloquialisms, slang, vulgarities, and other colorful aspects of informal speech shouldn’t be used in passing unless the moment specifically calls for it. So when you’re navigating your way around town, keep in mind general Costa Rican etiquette, Here are some phrases you’ll hear often in Costa Rica which convey the niceties:
Mil gracias / muchísimas gracias: many thanks (literally a thousand thanks). (Con) mucho gusto / mucho, mucho gusto / muchísmo gusto : All these phrases mean ‘with great pleasure.’ In response to ‘thank you,’ it’s common to hear variants of mucho gusto in Costa Rica instead of de nada, the standard reply in other Spanish-speaking countries. Disculpe: ‘Pardon me’ is frequently used when you approach someone to ask for something.
When placing an order, avoid using straight-out commands like ‘give me’ Here are the best options:
¿Me puede dar ? Can you give me. ¿Me podría dar ? Could you give me. Quisiera: I would like. (Avoid the very direct q uiero which means ‘I want.’) Me gustaría: I would like (literally, ‘it would please me’).
For example:
Disculpe, ¿C uánto cuesta ? Excuse me, how much does cost? ¿Cuánto pide? How much are you asking for? Disculpe, ¿me puede decir dónde está el restaurante? : Excuse me, can you tell me where the restaurant is?
Adiós: This expression means goodbye when you’re not going to see somebody again. Chao: This word is more familiar, but you hear it a lot in passing in Costa Rica. Hasta luego / nos vemos : These more informal phrases mean respectively ‘until later’ and ‘until we see each other.’ You may hear them frequently among young people in passing.
