Re: Travelling to South America
Also learn a little portuguese... seeing as the 1/2 of SA that does not speak spanish speaks portuguese.
Some basics. Spanish-- ser = to be (as in a definite and not likely to change way) estar= to be (in a form that changes; such as emotions or location) Yo = I tú you él, ella he, she nosotros we ellos, ellas they yo soy tú eres él, ella es nosotros somos ellos, ellas son yo estoy tú estás él, ella está nosotros estamos ellos, ellas están some useful words dondé = where cuanto cuesta = how much does it cost la calle = street la esquina = corner la parada = bus or subway stop metro = subway restarante = restaurant banco = bank baño = bathroom hotel = hotel comida = food cuenta = bill puedo = can i? dinero = money llega = he, she, it arrives cuando = when Some quick portuguese. ser and estar mean "to be" again, and are used in the same ways as spanish. Location is always estar. eu = I voce = you ele = he ela = she nos = we eles = they elas = they (shes) voces = you all ser is conjugated eu sou voce, ele, ela é nós somos eles, elas, voces sao with a squiggly over the a. Nevermind.... port is too complicated to do here, if you are going to brazil, PM me and I will right you some notes. In fact, I´d be happy to give you quite a bit of help on both languages if you´d want it. |
