Lesson Vocabulary & Phrases
Hola
OH-la
Hello
Placer
pla-THER
Pleasure
🇪🇸 [placer] on its own is not the usual way to greet someone in Spain. You'd more naturally hear [encantado/a] or the full [un placer].
See breakdown →Verlos
VER-los
See you
💬 In [verlos], the ending [los] means "you" here because it stands for "you all" when speaking to a group of men or a mixed group. The same pattern shows up in [verla], [verlos], [verlas] depending on who you mean.
See breakdown →De nuevo
Deh NwEHvoh
Again
Verlos de nuevo
VER-los de NWEH-vo
To see you again
💬 [verlos] joins [ver] with [los], "them/you all." Spanish often attaches these little object words to the end of the infinitive: [verlo], [hacerlo], [invitarlos].
See breakdown →Nos alegra
nos a-LEH-gra
It makes us happy
💬 [nos] means "to us" here, so [nos alegra] is literally "it makes us happy." The same pattern works with other people: [me alegra], [le alegra], [les alegra].
See breakdown →Mucho
MOO-cho
A lot
Nos alegra mucho
nos a-LEH-gra MOO-cho
We're very happy
💬 Spanish often says [nos alegra] where English says "we're happy." It's built like "it makes us happy," and you can swap in [me], [te], [les] the same way.
