Vocabulary - Having Good Manners!

This Spanish Easy Review vocabulary quiz takes a look at good manners. It doesn’t matter what language you are speaking. If you have very poor manners, people will not think very highly of you. In fact, they will see you as being very rude. Learning good manners starts when you are very, very young. Perhaps the very first manner you learn is to say thank you. Next would probably be please.

Having good manners shows people that you care about them, that you show them respect and that you are socially polite. This is even true with complete strangers. In addition, if you want people to show you respect, then you need to be a good example of one who always is polite and uses good manners.

You know the language of good manners in English so now it is time to learn the language of good manners in Spanish. That means new vocabulary. Let’s see what these new words are!

English Spanish Pronounced (Phonetically) As
excuse me ¡Disculpe! dē-skool-pāy
may I ¿Se puede? sāy pwāy-dāy
pardon me perdóname pěr-dŏn-ă-māy
I’m sorry lo siento lō sē-ěn-tō
bless you ¡salud! să-lūd
please por favor poor fă-vŏr
thank you gracias gră-sē-ăs
you’re welcome de nada dāy nă-dă
no problem no problema nō prō-blāy-mă
after you después de ti děs-pews dāy tē

For this quiz you will be given ten situations that will require you to respond with manners. From the answers provided, determine which Spanish manner should be used in the situation given.

1.

When a person sneezes, the proper response is to say bless you. Bless you in Spanish is ¡salud!
2.

después de ti
lo siento
no problema
When you ask someone to get something for you such as in a restaurant, you would say, 'Pardon me! May I have a glass of water?' To say 'pardon me' in Spanish you would say, 'perdóname'. In this situation, 'pardon me' is its own sentence so it needs to be shown with the exclamation marks (before and after in Spanish). As an additional side note here, perdóname’ would be used in an informal situation. If the situation is more formal, then you could say perdóneme. Notice that the 'a' became an 'e'. For now, however, we will focus on perdóname but be aware that you could see and/or hear it stated the formal way as well.
