Amaneciste? (2023)

What is a good response to Como estas?

When someone asks you ¿Cómo estás? If you feel alright, you say estoy bien; you could also say, estoy muy bien, to give more emphasis, which means “very good” or “very well.” You can also add one extra word, gracias, meaning “thanks”, and estoy bien, gracias; it means “I'm fine, thank you.” 2.

Mucho Gusto

It can be used in the beginning and the end of the conversation. Instead of saying “adios” to someone who you just met, you can simply say “mucho gusto!” And if you are wondering how to respond to “mucho gusto”, the best answer is “igualmente” o “mucho gusto también”.

Some of the most common greetings in Colombia are:

¿Qué tal todo? ¿Cómo amaneciste?* ¿Qué mas?

As you may imagine, one of the most common ways to reply to 'cómo estás' is by using the word 'bien' which can be translated as 'fine', 'well', 'all right' or 'okay'. Since it's a standard term, you can use 'bien' in both formal and informal situations.

¿Cómo estás? (How are you?) It`s a question that they certainly ask you frequently when you come to Spain. Do you know what you have to answer?

“Mal.” Like in English, “bad” is another standard response to “¿Cómo estás?” If you tell someone that you're not doing well, be ready to explain why—you might say something like “Mal.

¿Qué onda? This one is nice and simple! It's another casual way to ask a close friend, “What's up?” and you'll hear Mexicans use it all the time.

Pleased to meet you too. It's a pleasure to meet you. Pleasure to meet you too. It was nice meeting you too.

Instead of using muchacho or muchacha or niño or niña, try out the Mexican slang term for “boy” or “girl,” which is chango or changa.

Why do Colombians say Pues?

13) Pues. The word pues is ubiquitous in Medellín. It is one of those words that can be used in basically any situation, and typically means 'well' or 'okay'. It is much more common in Medellín than other parts of Colombia.

I quickly learned that using “vos” (referred to as voseo) instead of “tú” (also called tuteo) to say “you” is a common practice in many Latin American countries, including some parts of Colombia. In Colombia, voseo sits somewhere between “tú” and “usted” in formality, and can often be used with friends or family.

The question ¿cómo eres? means 'what are you like?' so in order to reply, you can describe yourself physically or talk about your personality. To do this, always use the verb ser (to be) with adjectives expressing physical qualities or personality traits, and the verb tener (to have) when describing your hair or eyes.

I'm fine.
