how to tell the weather in spanish

Last but not least the weather!


It is hard to explain but I am here to help. Don't be afraid to be mad at yourself for not understanding.


It is hot- Hace calor

It is cold- Hace frio

It is windy- Hace viento


It is raining- está lloviendo

It is snowing- está nevando

It is cloudy- está nublado


You must remember to always add the "hace or está" if not the phrase is incorrect.

Son las doce

:15

cuarto

:30

media

:45

menos cuarto

y

and

menos

minus


Spanish=English

¿Que hora es?= What time is it?

Son las doce y media= It is 12:30

Son las tres y cuarto= It is 3:15

Es la una y diez= It is 1:10

Son las dos menos cuarto= It is 1:45


There are other numbers you have to know to become experts at telling time.

If it is 1:55 you can say Son las dos menos cinco. or you can say Es la una y cincuenta y cinco.

These both mean the same thing, they are two different ways of saying 1:55.

The following numbers  are numbers you need to know:


:20

veinte

:30

trenta

:40

cuarenta

:50

cincuenta


So if you wanted to say it was 6:40 you could say:

Son las seis y cuarenta.

Son las siete menos veinte.

They both mean the same thing.



If it is AM you should say de la mañana after the time.

If it is the afternoon you should say de la tarde after the time.

If it is PM you should say de la noche after the time.

Ex:

1:05pm= Es la una y cinco de la tarde.

11:27pm= Son las once y vientisiete de la noche.

8:30am= Son las ocho y media de la mañana.


Here is a video about a boy who is late for class and asks his Puerto Rican friend what time it is.



How to greet people in spanish.

Hola, greeting people is always important when talking with someone. In this lesson you will learn how to greet people in Spanish. For an example, "Hola" means hello in Spanish.

Now, you can add on something to "hola" to make more since when talking to a spanish speaker for an example. "¿Hola, cómo estás? is "hello, how are you" but you have to be careful because you can'y say that to just anyone. Like, if your talking with one of your friends you can say "hola, cómo estás" but, if your talking with a older person you must show respect. So just simply add "usted" at the end of the greeting and remove the "S" in estas. So all together it would be this. "Hola, cómo esta usted?"

Now to reply it's a bit more harder. After the other person replys to you and ask how you are, you can say im good, or bad or fine. Of coures in spanish. good in spanish is "bien" bad is "malo" and fine is "maso meno"

So, when they answer and say "y tu" meaning "and you?" you can say how are you with thoes three words.
Then your all set. This is just for begginers who want to have a small talk. So, thank you for reading i hope that you learn a few things and can use them in the near future.

To say it is 1 o’ clock you say  ¿Es La una?. To say minutes past the hour you say ¿Son Las (numberos) y (numberos)? Ex: To say 2:10 you say ¿Son Las dos y diez?.

Use the word “menos” for minutes to the hour  ( to do this minus the minutes towards the hour and for the hour add one) like this ¿Son Las (numberos) menos (numberos)?  Ex: To say 2:50 you say ¿Son Las tres menos deiz?

To make it more simpler when it is a quarter of an hour you say cuarto and when it is half an hour you say media. That is how you ask and tell time in spanish.
