Can you try to guess what the title says? Courtesy words! Day 5, we’re adding Courtesy words to your Spanish Vocabulary!
Being able to say things like “yes”, “no”, “thank you”, and “I’m sorry” will go a long way in allowing you to interact smoothly! So, are you ready to learn spanish and show it off to your amigos (friends)?
Let’s take a look at today’s words!
Sí | Yes |
Gracias | Thank you |
No | No |
No sé | I don’t know |
Lo siento | I’m sorry |
De nada | You’re welcome |
As we discussed, these basic courtesy phrases allow you to navigate conversations respectfully. Use sí/no for affirmatives and negatives. Gracias/de nada show appreciation. And no sé/lo siento help you recover gracefully when needed.
To check your mastery, let’s do a simple conversational practice:
