Lesson Transcript

INTRODUCTION
In today’s lesson, we’ll cover some high-frequency adjectives to help express yourself in various situations.
GRAMMAR POINT
In Spanish, “It’s delicious” is Está delicioso.
Está delicioso.
Let’s break it down by syllable: Es-tá de-li-cio-so.
Now, let’s hear it once again, Está delicioso.
The first word, está, means “it is.”
Let’s break down this word and hear it one more time: es-tá.
And está.
This is followed by delicioso, which in Spanish is “delicious.”
delicioso
Let’s break it down by syllable: de-li-cio-so.
And, delicioso.
Now, let’s go over some other adjectives that you can use with the pattern just introduced.
Let’s try “hot,” hot as in spicy.
In Spanish, “It’s hot” is Está picante.
Está picante.
The word for “hot/spicy” is picante.
picante
And picante.
Let’s try hot, when you’re talking about something that is hot.
In Spanish, “It’s hot” is Está caliente.
Está caliente.
The word for “hot” (hot for temperature) is caliente.
caliente
And caliente.
And now, the opposite, cold, again, for something cold.
In Spanish, “It’s cold” is Está frió.
Está frió.
The word for “cold” is frió.
frió
And again, frió.
In Spanish, “It’s nearby” is Está cerca.
Está cerca.
The word for near is cerca.
cerca
And once again, cerca.
In Spanish, “It’s far” is Está lejos.
Está lejos.
The word for far is lejos.
lejos
And once again, lejos.
Let’s go now on “cute.”
In Spanish, “So cute” is Que mono, when referring to a boy or a male pet.
You won’t probably use this phrase on a man.
Que mono.
If talking about a girl or a female pet, again, you won’t probably use it on a woman, you should say - Que mona.
Que mona.
Be careful because mono and mona, when used as a noun mean “monkey,” but used as adjectives mean “cute.”
Never say Es un mono ‘cause that would have been “He is a monkey.”
Instead, you should say, if talking about a boy Están mono.
Están mono.
Or if talking about a girl, Están mona
These phrases mean “He (or she) is so cute.”
Let’s go now for “beautiful.”
In Spanish, “He is beautiful” is Es guapo.
Es guapo.
The masculine version for “beautiful” is guapo.
guapo
And once again, guapo.
“She’s beautiful” is Es guapa.
Es guapa.
The feminine version for “beautiful” is guapa.
guapa
And once again, guapa.
Now, let’s take a look at the negative, which in Spanish is really straightforward.
In Spanish, “It’s not hot” is - No está picante.
No está picante.
Let’s break it down by syllable: No es-tá pi-can-te.
The negation is form by inserting no at the beginning of the phrase.
no
When talking about the weather, we can’t use the phrases covered for hot and cold.
Instead, for “It’s cold,” we would say Hace frío.
Hace frío.
Which literally means “It does cold.”
One more time, Hace frío.
Similarly for “It’s hot,” we would say Hace calor.
Hace calor.
Which literally means “It does heat.”
One more time, Hace calor.
