Small words, big difference
Everyday Spanish in Spain is direct and relaxed, but a few small words still open every door:
| Spanish | English | When |
|---|---|---|
| Por favor | Please | With any request: Un café, por favor. |
| Gracias | Thank you | Muchas gracias — thank you very much |
| De nada | You're welcome | Literally “of nothing” |
| Perdón | Excuse me / Sorry | To get past someone, or for a small slip |
| Disculpa / Disculpe | Excuse me | To get someone's attention — disculpa to someone you call tú, disculpe to usted |
| Lo siento | I'm sorry | A real apology |
| Adiós | Goodbye | |
| Hasta luego | See you later / Bye | Very common — even when you won't see them again soon |
