This is a great case for knowing and understanding the subjunctive. Without it you can’t tell people off! 😂

“¿Cómo te atreves?” doesn’t even need the infinitive. It’s a great stand alone phrase by itself.

I've been watching you videos lately on, and I find them to be very interesting and practical. Your method of teaching is very understandable and easy to assimilate. Even though I am a Spanish speaker born and raised in South America, I've been immersed in the English language for at least the last 27 years living in the United States. Therefore I've been exposed to the English language for a long time now. Learning a new language, is a never ending task, there's a lot to learn every day . I understand your approach on teaching, I like it a lot, your pronunciation is excellent, I like that you explain the grammar too! Well done Sir.

No worries I learned all of those angry phrases whilst watching Telenovelas. So much fun!!

These are common sayings in Spain with adults and kids. I hear them all the time. Well done to the man who asked about it🎉

I love the concept of this video, would love to see more like this!

Finally my wife and I can fight in a language other than English. Haha

My EX wife (Colombiana) would tell me “ponte los Pantalones “ meaning “man up “

Great idea to learn these phrases, although as some have said, caution should be exercised to avoid escalating things or ticking off the wrong people… I try to avoid arguing vehemently with anyone outside my family, but within my family I definitely prefer to fight / argue in Spanish. It seems to lend itself to strongly expressed emotions. One strategy to improve one’s “dramatic fighting” Spanish is definitely to watch Mexican telenovelas.

Q Paul. The thumbnail was awesome and I’m definitely using these on the wife 😂 Just kidding. She says my Spanish level in arguing is expert 😁

Este es muy util antes el ano de escuela empeca. Mi esposa y yo trabajemos en esuelas en Virginia cuando tienen muchoa estudiantes de primero grados quienes son de America latinos. Por lo general, tenemos que lidiar con algo negativo ( como la policia todos los dias ). Gracias por tus ideas. Me encata tu forma de ensenar y aprendo mucho con ella. Although when the kids tell me somebody said a bad word in Spanish I'm at a loss.

Since I have a partner who is Mexican that never wanted me to learn Spanish... or at least never helped me at all! I love this! I have learned more from extended family and continue to learn ... THIS IS AWESOME! Gracias!

Want some good, angry phrases? Watch The Hitman's Bodyguard. Salma Hayek has some killer phrases in there. OMG, one of the funniest movies I've ever seen 😂

🤣🤣🤣 oh thank you so much for this one. Love it!

Good addition, Paul. Great idea from your friend, and valuable tools for us. Thanks!

I’ve been watching your videos religiously for a few months now and I’ve been progressing pretty well. I feel like now im sort of stuck in a spot where when I’m reading Spanish it makes perfect sense and I can understand it well, but as soon as I try to speak or think without the visual aid I find myself lost again. Did you find yourself in a similar position when you were learning yourself? Or have any tips for people in the same place as me?

One just gotta love the Spanish language.

I love your videos so much Paul. They’ve helped so much!!!!

Trying to decide if this would be good to show to my Spanish high school classes or if it would backfire.... And they would start becoming rude and use them on me and each other😅😂 although i love alll their attempts to use the language... Almost😅 thanks for giving us these clean alternatives 😊

I already knew "vete" but as part of a larger (ruder) phrase.

So cool, thank you. Helps with the subjunctive as well 👍

It's a funny comment on the "Happy Spanish", it's probably true at some point but on the other hand it's better to learn the correct and "happy" language first and you'll pick up the "juramentos" as you go… and they also are different depending on which country or region you go.

I sure could have used this to circumvent the timeshare sales people. I’m going to practice these for sure… with a 😃

¡No toques mis cosas!

Can't wait to use these on my Mexican wife 😁

I loved this!😅😅😅

But I like your "happy Spanish". 😂😂😂😂

Ha! Me encanta esto 😂

Gracias Pablo, otro excelente y util video. Eres el mejor.

You must be reading my mind!

Great videos. After years of learning verb conjugations in school, you are helping me to learn how to have a conversation. I have a question, I saw in an earlier video that you prefer to use the tu form for commands and that you would find a nicer way to ask someone, that you address as usted, to do something. However, for many of these phrases, it seems to me that the usted form is more appropriate. For example, "get away from me" or "get your hands off of me" might be said to someone on the street that is harassing or assaulting me. Would you really use the tu form with a stranger who was harassing you on the street? Is it too familiar? If so, maybe you could do a video of these expressions with the tu form and the usted form and explain when it would be appropriate to use the more formal command.

This is great! It hit on a majority of my vocabulary on a daily basis lol....

Buena lección, algo útil y distinto de lo que veo normalmente. Bravo 👏

In Mexico I've heard moms say to their fussy kids, "Que tienes?!" ... "What's your problem?!"

Another useful video which leads to a suggestion for a future video: How do you know when or when not to use "a" in front of an infinitive? For example, I think you wouldn't say "quiero a hablar contigo" but rather "quiero hablar contigo." But for other situations like the one in this video you use the "a" in front of the infinitive. I've sort of been going on gut feeling but am never sure. For example, I believe "el cambio es facil a rastrear" is correct, but should it just be "el cambio es facil rastrear"? Thanks.

That was great! Thank you.

Thanks!

How unique. We need many more of these. And more explicit 😂 all learning resources attempt to hide 'vulgar' language or profanity... So we have to talk like we're children

As a Spaniard, I find this pissed-off Spanish toolkit quite mild.

Do u already have a dirty or slang Spanish video? I used to joke around with my Grandpa a lot who spoke English (which is why my Spanish sucks) …… anyways, sometimes I would say “I have to take a Shhhhh” and he would always politely correct me and say “youdon’t TAKE a shhh, you THROW a shhh” I thought he was being literal but now I’m wondering if it’s because in Spanish the saying uses the word Tirar ….. please consider making a slang video.:)

Thanks!

Esas frases también son útiles para entender programas de televisión. Las escucho muy a menudo en La rosa de Guadalupe y Como dice el dicho.

Helpful.

This is cool ❤

Estoy afuera un edificio municipal por que no tengo más megas. E no tengo papales para un connection. Dinero sin papeles qué merda 😂. Happy Spanish que rico.

Me gusta "happy spanish" hahaha

Esto harto, when you're waiting in line patiently, and everyone just walks in front of everyone! Seems to be everywhere in mx, and not just because I'm gringo. My wife is mexican

No mames muy bien 😂 español de realidad

Aquí en México se usa más el verbo " chingar". Así tenemos : No chingues , no estés chingando , ¿ Qué tanto chingas? , vete a la chingada chingadera . Can you translate it into English ? Thank you.

Tikitikiti takatakata que RATATATA

Never use profanity pejorative speech around any one you cannot trust. If you can trust that person chances are you will be circumspect in your speech. Paul is no using pejorative speech here. He is using what the French and Português call Polêmic Speech. When you are in a Spanish speakers home, in his country....he is trying to protect you and teach you. So if he uses the pejorative without antecedente or just reason excuse yourself and leave. I was in such a situation when a Hatian set out to enflame a group of migrants against me. I excuseed myself and walked away without offending anyone. The only thing to be won was the race to my car. I did not wait for the translation:. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gCbr_3QRqdY.html

how do you say: "stick it where the sun don't shine?"

Thanks, that was much needed. I am a prolific curser in English, so I've been avoiding learning any Spanish swear words. So don't do a video of those .... really!

🤬👍

I thought lárgate meant gtfo!

Just commenting to help

I love the concept of this video, would love to see more like this!

No me amenaces con pasar un buen rato! Don't threaten me with a good time! When someone is making a threat, like they'll never talk to you again.

Translate this to Spanish I put that stick in that brown sugar. The problem with the pejorative is it requires that one knows many more then English and Spanish. The I put...have a woman who speaks Spanish read the translation out loud in front of English speaking and Spanish friends and family. Paul used Polêmic Speech he did not go way down low where some have gone. music.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DYKUxQkw2QU.html&feature=share

This is a very helpful video because it is the only one of its kind in such short simplicity

BTW the r word is perfectly usable in latam so it's the go to for insulting in spanish

Unless you’re arguing with someone you know well, using that kind of language is not the best way to move forward. ☮️

Eso no tiene sentido is my favorite, lol. Thank you for the lesson. Loved it!

Hola Paul, please, any way to figure out when the THE (article) has to be there? Gracias!!

I got into an argument with a waiter when I was in Spain. I definitely could have used some of these lol...

Excellent phrases to know and have in your back pocket. Thx

Espero que nunca necesite usar alguna de esas....

I pasted the transcript from this episode into chatGPT, then asked it to make me a study sheet. Handy trick for shorter videos.

Does ¡Ya! work for Stop! ? For example, if I'm being pursued as a tourist and want to end being hassled. Also "Corta el rollo" for "Cut the crap". Thanks Paul

I am a retired LEO, 37 years, in St. Lucie County. I’m now filling my time between Pimsleur and your videos. Early in my career, we had a patrol Lieutenant who displayed a sign on his office door that said, “Corrections Deputy.” He was the guy who checked all of the reports and affidavits. 😂 Thanks!

This is what I have been yearning for!!!!! Next video on driving scenarios please!!! Como se dice “Did you get your license from a gancito package?”

In a conversation today, I thought of an idea for a very short video. It’s about “suave” as soft vs “suave” as mild. We were at a health store in Toronto and in discussing the merits of one analgesic cream over another, the salesperson said one was “softer” in English. I realized she meant milder or weaker, then we realized we all spoke Spanish. Even though she grew up in Canada, she defaulted to saying “softer” in English for milder/weaker strength. My brain quickly realized what she meant, but I explained to my Spanish-speaking husband the difference between “suave” as soft and “suave” as mild. I’d never really thought about this before.

Love this video!

Muchas gracias

Isn't "¡No me chingues!" one for the toolbox, too?

This video is amazing. Muchas gracias

LOL - me gusta mucha!!

Hey I watched this some hours ago 😉

Love this! Great idea! ☺️
