hen we meet someone, walk into a store, answer the phone or run into a friend, the first thing we do is say hello. And the last thing is say goodbye. We do this with short, basic phrases, but mastering them is essential for any social interaction. In this article we will see how to greet people, how to say how are you, and how to say goodbye naturally. Let\u2019s go!<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Basic greetings.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The easiest and most widely used word is hola<\/strong>. It works at any time of day and in almost any situation. One detail: the h<\/strong> is not pronounced, so it sounds like \u201cola\u201d.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If you want to greet someone according to the time of day, you have three options:<\/p>\n

Buenos d\u00edas<\/strong> \/ Good morning: from the moment you get up until noon.<\/p>\n

Buenas tardes<\/strong> \/ Good afternoon: from noon until it gets dark.<\/p>\n

Buenas noches<\/strong> \/ Good evening or good night: from when it gets dark.<\/p>\n

These expressions are generally used in the plural<\/strong>, although you may occasionally hear them in the singular. In Uruguay, for example, we say both buenos d\u00edas<\/strong> and buen d\u00eda<\/strong> \/ good morning, with the same meaning. And I have heard speakers of other varieties of Spanish say buena tarde<\/strong> \/ good afternoon. They work in both formal and informal situations. In addition, buenas noches<\/strong> also works as a goodbye: it is said when leaving a place at night or when going to sleep.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Do you want to see more courtesy formulas? In this<\/strong> <\/a>article you have a complete repertoire, with thanks and apologies included.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Asking how someone is.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After greeting, we normally ask how the other person is doing:<\/p>\n

\u00bfC\u00f3mo est\u00e1s?<\/strong> \/ How are you? \u2192 informal (friends, family, classmates or coworkers).<\/p>\n

\u00bfC\u00f3mo est\u00e1 usted?<\/strong> \/ How are you? \u2192 formal (strangers, older people, customers, a boss).<\/p>\n

\u00bfC\u00f3mo te va?<\/strong> \/ How is it going? \u2192 informal, with the same meaning. In formal: \u00bfc\u00f3mo le va?<\/em> \/ how is it going?<\/p>\n

\u00bfQu\u00e9 tal?<\/strong> \/ How\u2019s it going? \u2192 informal and very convenient, because it never changes.<\/p>\n

Notice that only one letter changes in the verb: est\u00e1s<\/em> (t\u00fa) and est\u00e1<\/em> (usted). And remember that questions take two question marks<\/strong>, one at the beginning (\u00bf) and one at the end (?).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

These questions can be combined:<\/p>\n

Hola, \u00bfqu\u00e9 tal?<\/em> \/ Hello, how\u2019s it going?<\/p>\n

Buenos d\u00edas, \u00bfc\u00f3mo te va?<\/em> \/ Good morning, how is it going?<\/p>\n

Hola, buenas tardes, \u00bfc\u00f3mo est\u00e1s?<\/em> \/ Hello, good afternoon, how are you?<\/p>\n

An important cultural note.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In Spanish, \u00bfc\u00f3mo est\u00e1s?<\/strong> \/ how are you? is usually a courtesy formula, not an invitation to tell your life story. We say it even to strangers, for example at the supermarket checkout, and a short answer is expected: Bien, \u00bfy t\u00fa?<\/em> \/ Good, and you?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is different in other cultures, such as the Germanic one, where that question is asked when you really want to know how the other person is. In Spanish, to make someone understand that you want a sincere answer, context (that it is someone close to you) and tone of voice help.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

T\u00fa and usted: the general idea.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To address a person, Spanish has two main options:<\/p>\n

T\u00fa<\/strong>: familiarity and closeness. \u00bfC\u00f3mo est\u00e1s?<\/em> \/ How are you?<\/p>\n

Usted<\/strong>: respect and formality. \u00bfC\u00f3mo est\u00e1?<\/em> \/ How are you?<\/p>\n

With friends, partner, family or children, use t\u00fa<\/strong>. With a doctor, an older person you don\u2019t know or a customer, use usted<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now, actual usage depends on each country<\/strong>. In Uruguay, for example, Spanish is quite informal and usted<\/em> is kept for very formal situations. In other countries it is used much more, and in some areas it can even carry a sense of familiarity. That is why, if you travel to a Spanish-speaking country, use usted when common sense calls for it and listen to how native speakers talk to each other to calibrate the level of formality. If you are unsure, it helps a lot to ask someone from the place.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Finally, in countries like Uruguay or Argentina, vos<\/strong> is used instead of t\u00fa<\/em> (\u00bfc\u00f3mo est\u00e1s vos?<\/em> \/ how are you?). If you want to know more, in this<\/strong> <\/a>article you can read more about subject pronouns in Spanish, and in this<\/strong> <\/a>series of articles about the origin and prestige of the use of vos<\/strong> and about the changes in verb conjugation that its use implies.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Answering: estoy bien, estoy mal, estoy regular.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To answer \u00bfc\u00f3mo est\u00e1s?<\/em> \/ how are you? we use the verb estar in the first person: estoy<\/strong>. In this<\/strong> <\/a>article you can read more about the difference between the verbs ser<\/em> and estar<\/em>, their conjugations and main uses.<\/p>\n

Estoy muy bien.<\/strong> \/ I am very well. \ud83d\ude04<\/p>\n

Estoy bien.<\/strong> \/ I am well. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Estoy regular.<\/strong> \/ (Ni bien ni mal, “as\u00ed as\u00ed”).<\/em> \ud83d\ude10 (neither good nor bad, \u201cso so\u201d)<\/p>\n

Estoy mal.<\/strong> \/ I am not well. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

A courtesy trick: after answering, return the question. Estoy bien, gracias. \u00bfY t\u00fa?<\/em> \/ I am well, thank you. And you? (informal) or Estoy bien, gracias. \u00bfY usted?<\/em> \/ I am well, thank you. And you? (formal). With \u00bfc\u00f3mo te va?<\/em> \/ how is it going?, the typical answer is Bien, \u00bfy a ti?<\/em> \/ Good, and you?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Examples.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Informal dialogue<\/strong> (two friends in the morning):<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2014 \u00a1Hola, Marta! Buenos d\u00edas.
\n\u2014 Hello, Marta! Good morning.<\/em>
\n\u2014 \u00a1Hola, Pablo! \u00bfC\u00f3mo est\u00e1s?
\n\u2014 Hello, Pablo! How are you?<\/em>
\n\u2014 Muy bien, gracias. \u00bfY t\u00fa?
\n\u2014 Very well, thank you. And you?<\/em>
\n\u2014 Regular, tengo sue\u00f1o.
\n\u2014 So so, I am sleepy.<\/em>
\n\u2014 \u00a1\u00c1nimo! Bueno, nos vemos luego.
\n\u2014 Cheer up! Well, see you later.<\/em>
\n\u2014 \u00a1Chau, hasta luego!
\n\u2014 Bye, see you later!<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Formal dialogue<\/strong> (a female customer and a shop assistant in the afternoon):<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2014 Buenas tardes, se\u00f1or.
\n\u2014 Good afternoon, sir.<\/em>
\n\u2014 Buenas tardes. \u00bfC\u00f3mo est\u00e1 usted?
\n\u2014 Good afternoon. How are you?<\/em>
\n\u2014 Muy bien, gracias. \u00bfY usted?
\n\u2014 Very well, thank you. And you?<\/em>
\n\u2014 Bien, gracias. \u00bfEn qu\u00e9 puedo ayudarla?
\n\u2014 Well, thank you. How can I help you?<\/em>
\n\u2014 Quer\u00eda consultar sobre los precios de sus servicios, por favor.
\n\u2014 I wanted to ask about the prices of your services, please.<\/em>
\n\u2014 Claro que s\u00ed.
\n\u2014 Of course.<\/em>
\n(Al terminar<\/em>) \/ (When finished)
\n\u2014 Muchas gracias. Adi\u00f3s, buenas tardes.
\n\u2014 Thank you very much. Goodbye, good afternoon.<\/em>
\n\u2014 Adi\u00f3s, que tenga un buen d\u00eda.
\n\u2014 Goodbye, have a nice day.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Read them aloud and compare. In the informal one there are t\u00fa<\/em>, chau<\/em> and hasta luego<\/em>; in the formal one usted, se\u00f1or<\/em> and a more careful tone appear.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Saying goodbye.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

These are the most useful goodbyes to start with:<\/p>\n

Adi\u00f3s <\/strong>\/ Goodbye: works in any situation, formal or informal.<\/p>\n

Chau<\/strong> \/ chao<\/strong> \/ Bye: informal and very common among friends.<\/p>\n

Hasta luego<\/strong> \/ See you later: it can mean that you will see the person later, but it is also used when you don\u2019t know whether you will see each other again.<\/p>\n

Hasta pronto<\/strong> \/ See you soon: used the same way as hasta luego.<\/em><\/p>\n

Hasta ma\u00f1ana<\/strong> \/ See you tomorrow: we see each other the next day.<\/p>\n

Nos vemos (luego, despu\u00e9s)<\/strong> \/ See you (later, afterwards): informal.<\/p>\n

Que tenga un buen d\u00eda<\/strong> \/ Have a nice day: formal. In informal: que tengas un buen d\u00eda<\/em> \/ have a nice day.<\/p>\n

Buenas noches<\/strong> \/ Good night: at night or before going to sleep.<\/p>\n

Notice the change from tenga<\/em> to tengas<\/em>. It is the same logic as est\u00e1<\/em> and est\u00e1s<\/em>: one letter marks the difference between usted<\/em> and t\u00fa<\/em>.<\/p>\n
