We're going to look at the most common Spanish words used in everyday American English. Remember in the US we have so many Spanish immigrants or people who have moved there or lived there or are there. That you know Spanish a number of Spanish words have gotten mixed into English and in our everyday English. A lot of times you know English sometimes we like to use a foreign word to add a little humor. It sounds a little bit more funny it sounds like a different way to say something. So so we do it a lot. I'm just giving you some examples with English sentences with some Spanish words mixed in. How Americans themselves may actually say it. So if you went to America you may encounter this or you definitely will see it in movies too. It comes up in a lot of movies where you see some Americans actually well every now and then we'll throw a Spanish word into into the middle of their English. So let's look at some examples and I'll give you their meanings The first example here that cost mucho dinero. I cannot afford it Yeah the mucho very very common word almost all Americans know mucho. It just means much and dinero means money. So it's not not unusual that the word money would make it here. So that cost mucho dinero or somebody you know or you will often see in the movies. Hey, I want some dinero , dinero money or something like that. All right number two. Hey muchacho or you could say muchacha. Muchacho is boy or young man. Muchacha is girl or young woman. Come here I want to tell you something so you might see this very very commonly in the movie somebody say that hey muchacho come here muchacho. Something like that. Number three I'm going now. Adios adios almost every American knows how to say this, and sometimes they'll say this just as a joke. or as they are going bye-bye. So in case you don't know these it is good to freshen up on them. Don't worry I'll get it done mañana. Mañana always means tomorrow. Mañana. Yeah there used to be song a long time ago. Mañana is good for me like tomorrow. A lot of times when people want to put things off and they don't want to do it now. So yeah they say, should we finish it up? Mañana mañana tomorrow tomorrow so that's the way we actually use it in English this way. Okay buenos dias buenos dias Senor Senora nice to meet you. Okay I should have underlined Buenos dias too because that's good day. Good day you know sometimes we can use it like good morning too. Okay senor, senor of course is for a man Senora for a woman. So you'll see this a lot you'll see this in movies or you know it'll come up. Nice to meet you good All right a very common one gracias. Gracias thank you thank you gracias and we might even have the one that follows that de nada is you're welcome. So gracias you are so generous. All right number seven. That hot chocolate is muy caliente. All right Muy is also a word that means very. Very so that'll come up a lot. A lot of American know that. Caliente means hot. Hot so yeah we might use it they they might say you know today is caliente or it could be used the other way too just like sometimes in English the word hot means sexy. You could actually hear in English especially a Hispanic person say you know, oh ! That girl is caliente meaning that girl is hot. That girl is sexy too. So these are other ways that it could be used in English. Number eight it's mucho Frio outside. Again here comes mucho again meaning much or very. Frio, frio is cold. It's cold it's cold outside. It's mucho frio you might see somebody say it like that. All right number nine. We need it pronto. Pronto means quickly immediately right away. Don't delay. Actually pronto has crossed over completely as pronto is actually you could say it is an English word you could look it up in English dictionaries it's already there. uh-huh so but again originally Spanish and this is one that has crossed over 100 percent. Okay good. Arnold Schwarzenegger his character in the movie Terminator in in the Terminator movies often said' hasta la vista baby.' Hasta la vista this is another way you could kind of say goodbye. The better translation in English would be ' see you later ' see you later because hasta in Spanish actually means until. La vista is the visit, until the visit. So it translates best as see you later. Then you know see you again and see you next time see you later. Hasta la vista. I think Arnold Schwarzenegger may be even more popular than it was before but yeah we sometimes so it's another humorous way you know when you're saying instead of saying adios or goodbye. Hasta la vista. See you you know until I see you again. See you later. See you next time So it's used like that. All right I hope this is helpful. I hope you enjoyed it thank you for your time. Bye
