Spanish words for drinks

Thu, 08/07/2008 - 14:47 — Stacy
  
In one of our previous blog posts we talked about how to ask someone out and included asking someone out for a drink: 
 
Do you want to go out for a drink?
¿Quieres salir a tomar una copa?
¿kee-YEHR-ehs sah-LEER ah toh-MAHR OO-nah COH-pah?
 
Now that you know how to ask someone out, what do you do when they say “yes”?  Let’s learn some Spanish words for drinks and how to order alcoholic drinks. A good place to start is by asking them what they like to drink:
 
What would you like to drink?
¿Qué quieres (or querías) tomar?
¿keh kee-YEHR-ehs (or keh-REE-ahs) toh-MAHR?
 
Their answer will likely range anywhere from cerveza (sehr-VEH-zah) or “beer” to un martini (oohn mahr-TEE-nee) or “martini” to un combinado dulce (oohn cohm-bee-NAH-doh DOOL-seh) or “a sweet cocktail”.  They might also want an extra shot in their drink to make it stronger.
 
A shot of rum
Un trago de ron
oohn TRAH-goh deh rohn 
 
For a romantic dinner, you might order some wine.  This opens a whole list of things you need to consider from type of wine to how much.
 
Do you like [red/white/rosé] wine?
¿Te gusta el vino [tinto/blanco/rosado]?
teh GOO-stah ehl [VEE-noh TEEN-toh/BLAN-coh/roh-SAH-doh]?
 
Do you want a glass of wine or a bottle of wine?
¿Quieres una copa de vino o una botella de vino?
¿kee-YEHR-ehs OOH-nah COH-pah deh VEE-noh oh OOH-nah boh-TEH-yah deh VEE-noh?
 
By learning Spanish words for drinks, you can help make a date or even simply ordering a drink for someone you just met a breeze.  Good wine, good conversation, good company can be the beginnings of something, well, good!  What other Spanish words for drinks or phrases for ordering drinks can you share?

Asking for phone numbers in Spanish

Fri, 08/01/2008 - 02:16 — Stacy
  
Whether you have seen someone across the room that has sparked your interest or you have just spent the whole evening talking to someone you are attracted to, don’t end the evening without asking for their phone number.  It doesn’t hurt to ask and you don’t want to let the opportunity pass you by to have this encounter grow into something else. 

The first thing when asking for numbers in Spanish is to learn your numbers in Spanish from 1-100.  The reason for this is that when someone gives you their phone number in Spanish they are going to combine numbers instead of giving them to you individually.
 
For example, 555-555-5555 is typically given as:
 
Area five fifty-five, five fifty-five, fifty-five, fifty-five
Área cinco cincuenta y cinco, cinco cincuenta y cinco, cincuenta y cinco, cincuenta y cinco
AH-reh-ah SIHN-coh sihn-CWEHN-tah ee SIHN-coh, SIHN-coh sihn-CWEHN-tah ee SIHN-coh, sihn-CWEHN-tah ee SIHN-coh, sihn-CWEHN-tah ee SIHN-coh
 
As you can see, if all you know is 1-10 you will never understand the phone number when it is given to you.  Once you are ready to ask, asking for phone numbers in Spanish is simple:
 
Can I have your (telephone) number?
¿Puedo tener tu número (de teléfono)?
PWEH-doh tehn-EHR too NOO-mehr-oh (deh tehl-EH-foh-noh)
 
I put telephone in parenthesis because you will find that most people will just ask for your “number” and leave off “telephone.”  And remember, if you are in doubt, have them “write it down,” escríbelo (eh-SKREE-beh-loh), so that you make sure you have the correct number.  How else could you ask someone for their phone number in Spanish?
