Hi, how are things?
Welcome to "Why not spanish?"
I am Maria and today we are going to get acquainted with ten
expressions in Spanish; frequent expressions,
daily, that I think you should know
if you want to improve your Spanish.
But, if you are ready for something more than expressions,
I recommend you to see our courses that you can
find on our website.
There I offer you learning strategies and structure so that
you can learn Spanish more efficiently.
Let's start with our number one expression.
I want you to listen and try to repeat.
The first expression is:
I get a a lump in my throat.
Again,
I get
a lump in the throat.
I walk into a room with strangers and "I get a lump in my throat."
Sometimes when we are nervous or sad,
we feel a sensation of pressure here in the throat, which
prevents us from speaking or feeling comfortable.
We know that sensation in Spanish as a lump,
a lump in the throat.
And when you feel that, you say: I get
a lump in the throat.
For example,
still when I talk about her I get a lump in my throat.
The next expression is "It's worth it"
Three words "It's worth it ".
and then he tells me
But it's worth it, isn't it? you enjoy it?.
And it basically describes a situation that is difficult.
It's not easy, but if you do it,
you will see the benefits and those benefits
make up for the difficulty of that situation.
For example, let's talk about exercise.
Being disciplined with exercise is not easy,
but "It's worth it ".
A very common mistake of English speaking students
as their mother tongue and use this expression.
That is, "es vale la pena".
But beware, because in Spanish we only say
"it's worth" the situation, "it's worth it".
Our number three expression is realizing something,
realize something.
Four words.
In any moment
realized what was happening.
Native Spanish speakers use it almost the same as the word.
notice, realize something.
For example,
I didn't realize the time.
It's too late.
I have to go.
Well, for the next expression I'm going to tell you the
Colombian version and then the standard version.
The Colombian version of this expression is "por si las moscas",
just in case and the standard version that you can understand in
any country is just in case
"por si las moscas" and just in case.
Is the same. For a job interview , yes?
or an interview for college.
One arrives at eight o'clock.
No, what am I saying, no, at 07:15 "por si las moscas" (just in case).
It basically means in case of something.
For example, imagine that the sky is gray and
you have to go out and someone tells you: take
the umbrella just in case
or bring the umbrella just in case.
That is, in case it rains.
Well, the following expression tells us about an explanation.
It is a synonym or another way of saying it happens that
And the expression is:
Turns out.
It turns out that, for example,
turns out it wasn't his girlfriend, but his sister.
result,
that the car is seen as an icon
of the state
Expression number six is ​​an expression,
or rather a word that I use a lot.
I say it
very often.
The word is: eye.
Yes, like this part of the face.
Eye.
And it basically means attention.
Be careful with that, because it usually happens that they come
many believing... When we use that word.
Eye, we are trying to get the attention of another person.
We use it when we want to give important information.
For example.
Watch out for the girl, she's going to fall or in other words,
Pay attention to the girl, she's going to fall.
I hope you're taking note because the next
expression is also very common and very frequent.
It's more than necessary, more than necessary,
more than account. But it's wasting away
more than necessary and that
It has repercussions.
And basically, in other words,
means more than necessary.
More than necessary.
For example, yesterday I took
more than necessary and today I have a hangover.
Hangover is simply those symptoms you get after drinking too much
alcohol, such as headache, thirst.
The light bothers you,
Hangover.
So, yesterday I drank too much and today I have a hangover.
The Colombian version of a hangover is "guayabo".
Today I have guava.
Well now imagine what you want to give him
to another person a condition.
You want to put a condition on a situation.
The expression you are going to use is:
As long as.
If you translate it literally, it doesn't make sense.
But that's why it's an expression.
We are not going to translate it literally word for word,
but we are going to take the entire meaning of the expression,
as long as you're giving a condition,
as long as the FIA ​​approves it.
For example, I lend you my car as long as
Come back before 11.
Well, in the following expression we are going to use it to say that something is
related to something else, or that something has
a logical connection to something else.
The expression is: having to do with,
have to do with
you have to conjugate it.
So you should say:
has to do with,
it has to do with, or it does not have to do with,
has nothing to do.
Did you have something to do with it?
No, of course not!
For example, nationality does not have
to do with the talent to dance.
Nationality has nothing to do with talent for dancing.
That is, there is no logical connection.
What do you think about that?
Do you think that our movements and our talent for dancing is
determined by our nationality?
O no?
Or has nothing to do with?
And our last expression is
I do not care.
It means I don't care.
I'm not interested.
That is not important to me.
I do not care.
I don't care if the mayor goes on vacation or not,
for instance.
I don't care about your past, it's more important who you are now
We are going to conjugate that expression in the same way as the verb "gustar".
It doesn't matter to me, it doesn't matter to you,
it doesn't matter to him
And so. You can find all these expressions
in my course in "Español en uso".
It is a course for intermediate or advanced level students and is
completely in Spanish, in "Español en uso".

Well, and those were ten very useful expressions,
very common and frequent.
I hope you can make some example with the ten expressions,
Or at least with only one.
