Native Spanish speaker here....it's worth remembering that in reality the language we call Spanish is really just one of the many dialects existing in Spain. It's probably more rightly called Castilian ( Castellano ). Across Spain the language has some differences and that is true also of the different countries where 'Spanish' is spoken. I figure that so long as you are polite and understood it's OK. ..and it's always good to learn how the language is used in other countries.

My Spanish is influenced by Venezuela, Colombia and California Mexican. I usually start with Por Favor, rather than place it at the end of the question or request. It just seems to smooth things out at the jump. Your most important instruction about saying" please" is right on the money. Por favor is the first phrase to learn. Make amigos and amigas. Always end the conversation, especially with strangers, with a truthful "gracias".

Im from El Salvador, and the most common way food is ordered is: “me da tal y tal plato por favor” the English translation approximates to “would you give me so and so plate please.” Me gustaría may not be the most common but it won’t distract anyone either.
@fmaylinch

About what you say at 2:28, I'm Spanish and I would say "me apetece" (I feel like) or "quiero" (I want); I rarely would say "me gustaría" unless it's an option that is difficult or impossible. In a restaurant definitely I would not say "me gustaría". There you can also say "me apetece" or just "quiero" (with "please" :) Anyway, this is just advanced usage. If you say "me gustaría" it's understood and it doesn't sound too bad. :)

@Theyoutuberpolyglot

I agree with you 100 per cent. It's not rude if you already know the person or you want to address that person informally. You need to know the person first or ask her or him " May I use informal you instead formal you." Yes, dame, quiero it's a request, an order.

Is "v" pronounced like it is in English word violin or like a 'b' as in English word bubble? I live in Merida and when I first got here it took me forever to order a vanilla ice cream cone because I pronounced it like an english 'v' but that is what May is also doing.
@SpanishandGo
@SpanishandGo 3 года назад
Hi, Evening TV! In Spanish, _b_ and _v_ are pronounced more like our _b_ in English. However, you may hear this change a bit depending on who you are talking to. There are many different varieties of Spanish, and I've never heard this different actually cause confusion in a real conversation other than when trying to spell something. If I tell you "¿Puedes deletrear la palabra valentino?" (Can you spell the word _valentino?_ ) You could say, "Sí, pero no sé si empieza con b grande o v chica" (yes, but I don't know if it starts with big b or small v.) When spoken out loud, the "big b" vs "small v" helps clarify which letter to use. I think Ana from Butterfly Spanish does a good job of explaining this issue as well at about 15:46: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-x9t3C0VSoq0.html I hope that helps!

My two cents: I like to use "quisiera" a lot. It's subjunctive so it sounds a little less demanding than "quiero" and less weird than "me gustaria" . The subjunctive tense softens things because it's like in English when we say "is it possible to get..." Quisiera is like "I would possibly want blank if it happens to be available" haha. Here in Puerto Rico we hear "dame" all the time especially at fast food places, but I don't like to use it because I learned Spanish in Mexico and it still sounds rude to me. Puede(s) traerme...whatever you want, also sounds good to me but only if they are actually bringing you something, not in the case of like a Subway where the food is given to you on the spot.

I use quisiera, as that is what I was taught years ago. And, I haven’t even learned subjunctive yet.

Bueno. Primero, me encantan tus videos. Aprendí mucho de este. Gracias. Estoy pensando en "quisiera". Como se usa "quisiera"? Es similar a "me gustaría"? Gracias y saludos. 😎 Edit: pues, mucha gente ya ha preguntado en quisiera. 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

¡Hola! We did not include it because it's rarely used by native Spanish speakers. It's very similar to "me gustaría". We tend to use "quisiera" for wishes that are harder to get. It's more like "I wish" in English. So I can say "Quisiera ser millonaria" (I wish I was a millionaire) or "Quisiera ser más alta" (I wish I was taller). A waiter or waitress is not very likely to correct you because they can understand exactly what you're saying. It's just not something that we'd use at a restaurant. I hope this helps! Saludos. -May

Spanish and Go Depende de la región, el nivel socio cultural y la formalidad de la situación realmente. Cada país hispanohablante tiene sus peculiaridades, decir que es muy poco usado se refiere sólo a tu contexto, no lo digo con mala intención pero puedes darle ideas equivocadas al que está aprendiendo el idioma. En Bolivia es extremadamente raro escuchar a alguien usar el “ahí te encargo” pero en Mexico se usa mucho y si pides una torta probablemente te servirán un pastel. Quisiera es aceptable en cualquier lugar de habla hispana. Buen video por cierto.

Which is most correct to say, "dos de al pastor" (two of the shepherd's style?) or "dos de pastor" (two of the shepherd?)? Because I'm pretty sure that May says "dos de pastor," while the subtitle is "dos de al pastor." Gracias.

So can you tell us which one of those would be the phrase most used in Mexico? What's the "go-to" polite phrase to use?
@SpanishandGo
@SpanishandGo 4 года назад
_Te encargo_ (informal) or _le encargo_ (formal) is the most common phrase I've heard people use in restaurants in Mexico. It's not as common at food stands though. At a food stand _me das_ (informal) or _ma da_ (formal) is more common. But don't forget to add the ever imporants _por favor_ to the end! I hope that helps. Thanks for watching. -Jim

@@SpanishandGo Is it nicer to say "por favor" first? Or is that just not something people do? In English, I would usually say "Could I have... please?" or "Is it possible to get...?" Are there no phrases synonymous with those (that sound normal) in Spanish? I usually want to be super polite whenever I deal with any people in the service industry, because I worked in the industry for decades so I know how hard they work for minimal wages, so I'd want to carry that over into Spanish if possible. I'm bilingual with German as a second language, and although it's normal to simply say "Ein bier" (a beer) in a pub, I usually like to say "Darf ich bitte ein bier haben?" (may I please have a beer). I guess what I'm asking is this: what is the MOST polite way to ask for something without sounding abnormal? Is it still "Le encargo... por favor"?

Su vídeo fue muy bueno para mostrar los errores cometidos por estudiantes de español. Sin embargo, en españa es mas comun decir tráeme o dame. I'm a native English speaker and I often travel to many Spanish speaking countries. One of the bigger differences I've noticed is the less frequent use of por favor and gracias in Spain as compared to américa latina. It's not that they are less polite, I think they are more direct. As a result I've noticed many Spanish learners in America overuse por favor and gracias. I work around it by using quisiera so I am polite when in the Americas and not overly polite in Spain.

Native speaker here (non Mexican). Context is important: some regions might deem some words/usage of words more acceptable in certain situations than others. It's possible these are ok in Mexico, but to me, hearing "me da/me trae", even in the context of a question, is completely rude/demanding. I'd say: "quisiera", o "podría ser", or "no me traería ...?"
@srbaruchi
@srbaruchi 4 года назад
In the USA, people sometimes say, "Give me ..." or "Bring me ..." but it is a bit stilted and rude. Most acceptable, IMO, is: "I'll have ..." or "I would like ..." Of course, if it's fast food, the level and degree of conversation is usually minimal.
