Lesson Vocabulary & Phrases
Hola
OH-lah
Hi
¿Te gustaría?
teh goos-TAH-ree-ah
Would you like?
💬 [Te gustaría] literally works like "would it please you." You can swap in other things after it: [¿Te gustaría una cerveza?] or [¿Te gustaría bailar?].
See breakdown →Que te invite
keh teh een-VEE-teh
To buy you
💬 In [invitarte] or [que te invite], that [te] is "you," so [invitar] here means buying someone something, not just inviting them somewhere. In Mexico, to avoid ambiguity, people often say [invitarte una bebida].
See breakdown →Una bebida
OO-nah beh-BEE-dah
A drink
Me encantaría
meh en-kahn-tah-REE-ah
I would love that
💬 [Me encantaría] is stronger and warmer than just [sí]. You can reuse the same pattern with other verbs: [me gustaría] for "I'd like that," [me fascinaría] for "I'd love that."
See breakdown →¿Qué me recomiendas?
keh meh reh-koh-mee-EN-dahs
What do you recommend?
💬 [Recomendar] takes an indirect object here, so [me recomiendas] is "you recommend to me," not just "you recommend." Same pattern: [¿Qué me sugieres?].
See breakdown →¿Qué tal
keh tahl
How about
💬 [¿Qué tal...?] is a very common way to make a suggestion: [¿Qué tal una cerveza?] or [¿Qué tal si nos sentamos?]. By itself here, it feels like the start of a longer idea, not a complete sentence yet.
See breakdown →Una copa de
OO-nah KOH-pa deh
A glass of
Vino tinto
VEE-noh TEEN-toh
Red wine
