what are we gonna see here today drumroll conversational vocabulary how many words i don’t really know it’s like a lot it’s a lot of words today we’re gonna be seeing a lot of words imagine a conversation goes like this campus book table is about girl has killed 23 people survive in case you didn’t realize the book we were talking about was the hunger games but you probably didn’t because who would when half of the words are missing of course if you did understand then congratulations you have a c1 in gibberish come and collect your official diploma but the common thing would be for you not to understand what just happened because the words that were missing were the most basic conversational vocabulary words of course we’re not gonna see every single word but we’re gonna create a basic set of words for you to use and be able to apply to your conversations and sentences let’s start with location este used to refer to something that’s here the translation for these three words would be this it’s something that’s close to you this thing right here este is a word we use when we’re referring to an object that’s masculine esta it’s a word we use when we’re referring to something that’s feminine and esto is just something that you say on its own este palo esta caja like for example you’re in the kitchen table and you see something you don’t know where it is and you say esto esto it’s something that you don’t really know what it is so you don’t know the gender in that case you use esto ese these words refer to something that’s a bit further away from you but not really far away so the translation would be that this and that midway ese palo iso again it follows the same rules as este esta esto to refer to something that’s really far away you say a quel aquella aquello this would be those aquel palo ala up until now i’ve been using all these words to refer to location but i would also like to remark that you can also use these words to refer to time age that day it rained a lot aki here aki aji over there far away el restaurante next up we have counting vocabulary first thing you want to know are cardinal numbers so one two three four five uno dos second thing you want to know are the ordinals first second third fourth fifth primero this can be used to list things off or to rank stuff ramon quedo primero and la carrera but you can also use them like in english to name the floor that you live in grammon a translation for this word would be a a bird and again it follows the same rules that este esta esto if a friend of yours was going to the supermarket and you wanted him to buy something for you you would say but if he already knew that you were asking for a soft drink then you could say puedes comprarme uno todo everything o lo quiero todo nada nothing no que daba [Music] question words are precious and most loved the question words they are wonderful creatures you don’t know when they have an accent and when they don’t but if you want to know more about them then check out next week’s video because i’m gonna be diving deep in with question words pregunta question puedo acerte una pregunta respuesta anser qualesto respuesta que is a very good answer to the question this sentence would make much more sense if it was in any kind of context but since it’s just an example we don’t really care tambien also amitam por que because be careful with this one it’s porque not porque no me gustan porque son feos these two indicate a cause but it can also indicate a consequence or [Music] it’s a word that’s very similar to like and that’s not really necessary for ejemplo for example i use this one a lot for example el papel here we could also use despues e antes which we saw before in the order category but in this case we would use them to refer to something temporal in espana mientras here we have two options all right next category is called extra because i really couldn’t come up with a name for it hard es muy difici be careful with o because it has a little extra rule which is that if it goes before another word that starts with o you cannot say oh you have to change it to oh for example a and the most basic word to connect anything and everything and verde that may sound weird but it’s a very delicious breakfast here in spain amo atodos algo i’m sorry you can also say perdone or perdona which is excuse me perdone is formal language and it’s something you use with someone you don’t know and perdona is something that’s more casual that you use with friends or someone who you know really well you can say perdone perdone when you’re in the metro and you’re trying to get through excuse me excuse me hola hi hello hi there gracias thank you gracias for this video don’t forget to leave a like and if you have any questions or any requests of something you would like me to explain in a video then don’t hesitate and leave a comment down below but for now hasta la proxima oh …
