Another word you could use to ask someone to repeat something, that sounds less rude than "que?", is "como?". And also of course in Mexican Spanish, the most common thing to say when you didn't hear or understand clearly what someone said, is "mande".
Thank you. I try to focus on Mexican spanish. I remember playing video games online with a friend and someone knocked on his door and he said mande. Now I understand it better
I love Paulisima. She is fun and speaks perfectly in both languages. I think the music is nice, but the music volume could be lower. Thank you for your videos.
This was the best, best ever. Very well done - my host family talks rapidly and one word always seems to trip me up. Thank you for this presentation !!!!
We usually say "¿cómo?" (meaning 'how?') to mean 'what?' (¿Qué?). You know, it's the short form for "¿cómo dices?" (which's better to translate as 'what do you say/mean?').
I spend a lot of time in La Paz (Baja Sur) and, by far, the most common expression is "Mande?" That's my go-to expression when I didn't quite catch everything someone said.
Thank you so much. I teach English in the states during the school year but in the summer I travel to Costa Rica to teach English. When I am there most Costa Ricans speak so fast it is hard for me to get all of what they are saying. Now I have a plan to ask then to explain what they are saying. Gracias Will
For some reason your channel never entered my feed until now! I've been following spanish accounts on YT for like 4 years! Not sure why but I'm glad I finally saw it today :)
Paulisima: Buenas tardes. Yo sé que son los huaraches porque era un restaurante cerca de mi casa se llama Chilangos y yo pone un orden de huaraches por la primera vez allá. Me gusta esos con frijoles negros, huevos, cebolla y queso. Son como chanclas que es una palabra que aprendí en Panama.
When I was learning Spanish in college, my professor used to say “¿Repita?” if he didn’t understand what we said. We also learned “¿Cómo?”, which is what I saw in the textbook, “Poco a Poco”.
in any language, try to be.....specific. Try to focus on the key word you don't understand. In this case "Huaraches?" is all you need to say. "Huaraches?" with inflection in your voice. Or "no se Huaraches", or "Huaraches no es familiar"
Hola! ¡Me gusta muchos sus videos! Pero hay un error...¿qué significa? No ¿Qué singnifica? Usted puso un "n" extra en la palabra "significa". Espero que este se auyde. Pero he aprendido mucho de sus videos! Por favor, sigue haciéndolos! Muchas gracias!!!
I'm the kid of Mexican immigrants who decided to work in a Mexican restaraunt to learn more Spanish. I understand a lot of it but needed more practice and exposure. I usually say my regular English "huh?" or "Que dijistes?" but I had no idea that "que?" was a bad thing to say... now I'm trying to figure out all the times I've said it at work lol
There are many ways to say 'sorry' and 'excuse me'. Which do I use if I, for example, bump into someone and want to apologize? I have been using 'perdóname,' is that correct? Are there other expressions I could use?
It's also common to hear, after saying "perdón/perdóname" or "disculpa/discúlpame", "fue sin querer (it was unintentionally)/no lo hice queriendo (I didn't mean to)". Or you could also hear "mil disculpas" (a thousand of apologies)
I remember a Spanish class many many years ago taught by a Cuban young lady and she taught us that qué sounds rude and is not polite and it is better to use cómo. I'm not sure if that is the way it is now but that has stayed with me all these years, 46 más o menos! So I always use cómo. Is this correct? I remember at that time, mid 70's, when I was in Mexico and tried to speak with a young and apparently a rich spoiled Mexican princess that she didn't understand my poor Spanish skills and kept saying qué in a rude way and looking at her friends and laughing. So qué still seems rude to me.
It depends on the country, I guess. I'm from Venezuela, and we say qué when we don't understand. It's informal, not rude. I guess in a more formal situation I might say perdón, cómo dijiste o puedes repetir, por favor. I had Asturians friends that said cuál instead of qué o cómo
La respuesta a ¿Perdón? entre amigos XD: -Ok, te perdono, pero no lo vuelvas a hacer XD Ya me imagino un extranjero oyendo esa respuesta XD diría: esto no me lo esperaba, ¿qué significa? ¡ayuda! XD Que conste que eso es entre amigos, en la realidad si un extranjero dice: ¿perdón? todo mundo le va a repetir la frase con más cuidado Buenos videos. Disfruto mucho viéndolos :) Saludos!
They could have asked that because they understood the action, but not the object. For example, if you said "me gusta correr/el helado" (I like running/ice-cream), if I get the first part ("me gusta") but I don't understand what you said afterwards, I would either ask "qué cosa (te gusta)?", and I'm not from Panama. Maybe it's something that they use to say, or maybe it was that kinda confusion, do you remember the context?
Cuando era joven yo pensé que “mande” fue algo malo, pero mi mamá me dijo no es más respetable! 😂 pero es solo porque la manera en que los niños dicen “mande” a veces suena de mala actitud
es una frase del Mexico. pueden usarlo, pero creo que los jóvenes lo usan mucho 😅😅😅 ¿ pero qué lo sé? mi información sobre esto es de la gente de los comentarios quien son mexicanos .

@@hlambrou1 Right! People say it all the time.
"Mande" is what I've always heard people say, especially in Mexico City.
@@larsedik Yes, "mande" is used all throughout Mexico, and here in the southwest U.S. too.
@@margaritakleinman5701 Also used here in Califas (Slang for California for those who don’t know) too
I love Paulisima. She is fun and speaks perfectly in both languages. I think the music is nice, but the music volume could be lower.
Thank you for your videos.
Prefiero nada de música
@@kathleenclark6260 Estoy de acuerdo. Mientras menos (nada) de música mejor.
Great practical lesson. Better than 100 textbooks.

We usually say "¿cómo?" (meaning 'how?') to mean 'what?' (¿Qué?). You know, it's the short form for "¿cómo dices?" (which's better to translate as 'what do you say/mean?').
Sometimes people say “how’s that?” in English, but I have no idea what the logic in that is lol.
Yo necessito aprendar mas español....gracias Amiga!
really helpful...perdon...de mucha ayauda! Mil Gracias!
En mi parte de California "mande" es muy popular en vez de "qué"
I spend a lot of time in La Paz (Baja Sur) and, by far, the most common expression is "Mande?" That's my go-to expression when I didn't quite catch everything someone said.
I believe mexicans are the only ones that use that term. In most latino countries they use "que" or "como".
Watched again, so important !!!! Use every day, every conservation. Thank you !!!!
She is fabulous
Great tips and advice-very useful suggestions!!!!
She is the best !
el quee esta bien dicho y es valido, solo tiene que decirlo de forma amable con tu tono de voz
omg you are utterly hilarious and I would love to learn from you. I've learned so much from just this video.
¡Este fue un video increíble! Muchas gracias por los consejos 😊
Gracias Daniel! Qué bueno que te gustó :D
¡Gracias! En mis conversaciones con mi maestro en italki, siempre digo “¿que dijiste?” Voy a usar estas frases la próxima vez.
Good teaching method thank you
¡Buenos Días Maestra Paulisima! I like your lesson so much. ¡Muchísimas gracias Maestra por compartir esta lección!
I usually say " como fue"
She’s My favorite teacher. So much fun to watch

Paulisima-muchas gracias por este clase! Ahora no voy a hablar "que" mas.
I just subscribed! I live in Guatemala. I often hear something like "demanda!" or "me manda!" Is this a good substitue for "Que?"
Yes, the word "manda" could be used as "Qué" and it's usually spoken in Mexico
Esta padre!
Gracias, use estás frases anoche!
yeah!!!!! This makes me very feliz :)
Your videos will help others very well....
Very helpful video!
greetings from your greek friend learning spanish :-)
Absolutely helpful! Gracias un Monton. Lo me encanta.👍👍👍

Hola! ¡Me gusta muchos sus videos! Pero hay un error...¿qué significa? No ¿Qué singnifica? Usted puso un "n" extra en la palabra "significa". Espero que este se auyde. Pero he aprendido mucho de sus videos! Por favor, sigue haciéndolos! Muchas gracias!!!
tienes razón
Gracias Senorita por su leccion.
¡Excelente, gracias!
She is really fun to watch. I might even start learning Spanish.
Have you started?
....?
Frecuentemente uso ¨¿Como?¨ ¿Es aceptable?
Yes, I hear natives say 'como' all the time.
si . es mejor que usar “qué “
It sounds more polite, that's it
Loved it! Can wait for the next one!
Thank you so much, every Spanish chunk is very helpful
Love the videos but I find the music distracting.
Muy buenos ideas. Muchas gracias!
Gracias 🙏🏽
Super cute Spanish teacher 🥰
Love how you are soooo animated with your expressions and hand gestures!
So Mexican! ❤️ it!
I love this
Gracias
¡Muchísimas Gracias ❣️
There is a typo at 4:03 - "SINGNIFICA" instead of "significa" no?
Great video! You are an amazing teacher.
Thank you very much. Gracias 🙏
I use "mande" because that's what I learned from a Mexican neighbor growing up. Cuando le
wow!!! that's like insider Mexican Spanish love it!

There are many ways to say 'sorry' and 'excuse me'. Which do I use if I, for example, bump into someone and want to apologize? I have been using 'perdóname,' is that correct? Are there other expressions I could use?
You can use "perdoname" or simply "perdon". "Disculpa" is also very common.
@@_AlexPR_ gracias!

Muchas gracias Paulisima! Estos ejemplos son muy utiles
OK, but what are huaraches? They sound delicious!
puedes decir ¿qué son los huaraches?
Nice!!! Very helpful!
excelente! mil gracias.
What about "Monde(Monda)"?
Mi mama' se llama "Kay". Asi era un problem cuando nos mudamos al Peru.

It depends on how you say it but you can use either one "que" or "como".
lo siento que te pasó
@@_AlexPR_
ehhhhhhh cómo is more polite
Cómo is way more polite, it depends on how you say it though, but anyways, if someone wants to be polite, then using cómo would be more accurate
It depends on the country, I guess. I'm from Venezuela, and we say qué when we don't understand. It's informal, not rude. I guess in a more formal situation I might say perdón, cómo dijiste o puedes repetir, por favor. I had Asturians friends that said cuál instead of qué o cómo

mande
that's right!!!! That's how I was raised: No se dice qué se dice mandeeee!!!
@@paulisimafromspringspanish1762 btw your accent is beautiful
@@hunterkenton oh you're too generous!!! :D
Suelo “mande” tambien.
I typed in “huaraches” on Google translate and it doesn’t have a translation. What does it mean?
Tengo una pregunta. Yo uso "como" cuando no entindí . Eso es correcto? Gracias por su respuesta!
Si Es Correcto, Tambien Puedes Decir "Mande" Es Mucho Mas Usado.
Is Que Cosa common in other countries? I have heard it in Panama
They could have asked that because they understood the action, but not the object.

Cuando era joven yo pensé que “mande” fue algo malo, pero mi mamá me dijo no es más respetable! 😂 pero es solo porque la manera en que los niños dicen “mande” a veces suena de mala actitud
jejeje! I should make a video about mande! As a child I was always told: No se dice qué se dice mande.!
Por supuesto!
Por supuesto!
@@PaulisimaSpringSpanish “Mande” forma de responder del sirviente cuando el amo lo requiere, significa sumisión, dependencia
@@JCMenendez y sí, es cierto. Mucha colonización en nuestro lenguaje cotidiano jejeje!
what about la palabra 'mande'
?
es una frase del Mexico.
pueden usarlo, pero creo que los jóvenes lo usan mucho 😅😅😅
¿ pero qué lo sé? mi información sobre esto es de la gente de los comentarios quien son mexicanos .
I think I have a crush 😍 ... on I'm definitely going to learn ...paulisima. gracias
I’m curious why you didn’t add the word “mandè”? It’s the most common I’ve heard.
Can I use "como?" to say I didnt understand?
Helpful but the background music is annoying and distracting.
Huaraches son sandalias también?
Sí
Can we say ¿como?, instead of the five you explained?
I always get “mande”. It sounds like they are saying "Monday" (lunez). :)
Bwhahahaha!! I love how you teach!
awww muchas gracias Phylana! I love your name :D
@@paulisimafromspringspanish1762, Gracias! My dad made it up. Combination of Philip and Darlene.
very good teacher! but I need to work at mentally blocking out the background music. Please lower the music volume if you use it at all.
Thanks for the feedback! Yes, in our recent videos we have lowered the volume of the music.
