All amigos welcome to learning spanish world! Today, we are going to learn something very practical
Have you ever wondered? How do you say how old are you in Spanish?
How do you say how old are you in Spanish?
Well, that's something we're going to learn today on our daily Spanish video
You also are going to learn
To say what is your age? So you will be able to share with others? How old you are in vice versa?
Okay, so let's begin
So in Spanish whenever you want to ask someone's age
First thing we do because it's a question
We actually
Write the question mark upside down
So this is an inverted question mark which indicates we are just about to ask a question
one dos
Anos
Tienes
That means how old are you?
one dos
anos tienes
So next time you go to a spanish-speaking country and somebody says to you
Cuantos anos tienes. You know that person wants to know how are you?
Now this is very interesting
This actually doesn't literally means, how are you in Spanish?
These literally means how many years do you have?
Yes, that's right. You are me how many years? Do you have that's right?
One dos anos tienes means how many years? Do you have that's how you ask the age in Spanish so cuantos anos tienes
Literally means how many years do you have?
But translated in English the correct translation would render it as how old are you?
cuantos anos tienes
Now this work here is very interesting the word Daniels that means years
Now notice this letter here if you watch our alphabet video you already learned that this letter is called any
So it's like an N with a little line on top of it
This letter is pronounced like an ear
NEA
onions
Now a lot of English speakers have trouble with this later when they first learn it
So it's no rare for people to ask instead of asking cuantos anos tienes
Which means how are you? They tend to ask?
One dos anos tienes and trust me you do not want to say that
We already a certain that cuantos anos tienes means how many years do you have?
the word angles in Spanish means
Anus so you wouldn't like to ask somebody so you wouldn't want to ask someone how many anuses do you have?
So it is very important. It is imperative that you get be any pronunciation correct
So you want to ask one those onions tienes instead of one to sauce tienes
Okay, so keeping that in mind. I thought I was very relevant. It's funny, but it is relevant because lots of people make a mistake
Stairs that they get in return are really funny - okay, so
Cuantos anos tienes means. How are you? And you would respond. Let's say that you are 20 years old
That is vain day
You would say
Bingo
Vane de
años
Oops
Bingo vain T annual so that means I'm 20 years old now for a little bit all that let's say you are Freddie
that is
Treinta this is why it's very important that you watch our
video on numbers this is when numbers become extremely handy, so let's say that you are 30 years old you would say
Dangle
Treinta
Onions and so on well do one more. Let's say that you are 40 years old which is
Quieter
Almost ran out of the space so you would say
bingo
Who are in
Daniels that
Means I'm 40 years old that literally speaking once again since in Spanish they ask you how many years?
Do you have you will be responding by saying?
I have 40 years of age, or I have 20 years. I have 30s
I know it doesn't make much sense in English, but that's the way it is actually done in Spanish, okay, so let's revise
slowly
one dos
anos tienes
One more time listen to me carefully
One dos anos tienes once again notice the tea is very soft. It's not TNS it is
Pianist so you place your tongue behind your upper teeth
One dos anos tienes repeat after me last time
One dos anos tienes now don't expect Spanish speakers to say to you
Cuantos anos tienes because we both know that's not the case. They're going to talk to you very fast
They'll say cuantos anos tienes
cuantos anos tienes a
New respond
tengo saint a anyons or tingling Tanner's
Bingo what inta annuals and so on so it's very very important that you remember these
Particularly as we said before
the pronunciation of the Enya if you haven't learned that please
Watch our video on the Spanish alphabet the abecedarian in Spanish. It will show you how to pronounce the letters and
These will help you tremendously
Particularly when it comes to pronouncing tricky words such as annulus correctly all righty now
Personal pronounced
Very important to in
with a little action on top of the E and Asia are
two
personal pronouns
L means
he
in
Each note is double L. Sounds like a
JA means
You guessed it she
So if you want ask your friend how all is for example a guy who is actually sitting in the corner of the room
You want ask hey how old is he how is that guy over there?
You would actually ask
One those annuals we get rid of yes
TNA and you guessed it we bring the heat and
One those años
tiene Adel whoops
That's better most forgot mother Mia, okay?
cuantos anos
DNA
How old is he?
One dos años tiene el see how easy this
Now let's say there is a girl and you want to find out. How is this senorita this girl and
You're a little bit. Shy to walk up to her and ask her hey, how old are you obviously you wouldn't do that
So let's say that you want to ask your friend how old is this lady or this girl?
Who's just over there? So you would ask?
dos años tiene
Age'
That's right
So we got in an Asia very important personal pronounce he and she respectively
So we cannot do this a little bit
clearer
So you don't get confused
Oops let's write this down again, so it looks
small legible
tiene
N and H
Okay, and we put the question mark European
Use a bit of red to differentiate
Okay, so once again you wanna find out how old is that guy over there you would ask?
cuántos años tiene el
And if you want to find out how is that girl the senorita you will ask cuántos años tiene age'?
Okay
See how he see this and you can also replace the personal pronouns with names, so let's say that you know his name is
Ricky so you would ask cuantos anos tienes Ricky
Now you know that her name is Elizabeth. You could ask cuántos años tiene Elizabeth and so on
Alrighty, so let's revise one more time
What does anos tienes, that's if you are asking the person in front of you cuantos anos tienes
Tengo
Treinta a nose and thirty years old
Now you want to ask how old is he how old is she then you get rid of the s?
You're asking third person so you ask
Cuántos años tiene el how old is he?
cuantos anos DNA Asia
Okay excellent better facto well done
So as you can see it's a very easy to learn and you can offer histor asking people's
ages of today if you want to practice a bit
So I hope you enjoyed today's lesson
I will be uploading video every single day and as I said to you on the other video. We're trying to focus in
small steps
instead of throwing a lot of information and overwhelm you with lots of material by
Concentrating in little steps one thing at a time you get to master these and then you can move up to the next one you
Will be on your way
To mastering the Spanish language, but once again. Let me remind you it is very important
it is imperative that you do practice and that you set aside at least 5 or 10 minutes each day to revise and
Practice these maybe you can listen to the videos while you do other things around the house
And you can just repeat and that will actually help you to
Send all these information know to your short-term memory
But to your long-term memory in that way you will be able to master the Spanish language
So I hope you liked it
Please give me a like
Share this video with other people that maybe learn in Spanish and as I said to you every day there will be a new brief
Short video, but straight to the point, and you will be learning this will be paving the way for you to learn to speak Spanish
