¿Qué hora es?
means What time is it?. It literally translates to What hour is it?
45
Son las doce.
It's 12:00.
46
Son las cinco.
It's 5:00.
47
[Edit] To indicate half past the hour, you need to add -y media. Media means half.
48
Son las diez y media.
It's 10:30.
49
It's 7:30.
Son las siete y media.
50
[Edit] To indicate a quarter past the hour, you need to add -y cuarto. Cuarto means quarter.
51
Son las dos y cuarto.
It's 2:15
52
It's 5:15
Son las cinco y cuarto.
53
Son las seis y cuarto.
It's 6:15
54
[Edit] When the time is before the half hour, you form the time the same way.
55
Son las dos y cinco.
It's 2:05.
56
Son las once y veinte y tres.
It's 11:23.
57
Son las seis y veinte.
It's 6:20.
58
[Edit] There are two ways to say the time after the half hour. However, be aware that this is changing just like it is in English. Many people grew up learning that 2:45 is stated as: It is quarter to three. With digital time, most people now say It is two forty-five. The same is happening in Spanish. Traditionally, Spanish has said the upcoming hour first, then subtracted the minutes. For example, 2:45 would be said as three less fifteen. The word for less is menos.
59
After the Half Hour - Traditional
Son las tres menos diez.
It's 2:50.
60
After the Half Hour - Traditional
Son las seis menos cuarto.
It's 5:45.
61
Son las siete menos veinte.
It's 6:40.
62
After the Half Hour - Digital
Son las dos y cincuenta.
It's 2:50.
63
It's 5:45.
Son las cinco y cuarenta y cinco.
64
It's 6:40.
Son las seis y cuarenta.
65
[Edit] Basically, está is used for locations and temporary conditions, like health or feelings. Es is used for everything else – including time! If this is the case, shouldn't it's 3:00 be es las tres? Why is it, son las tres?
The answer is that son is the plural form of es. That's right, es and son are related. When you have more than one, you must use son; when you have one, you use es. For example, 3:00 is Son las 3. There are 3 hours, which is plural, so you use son. Consider 1:00 which translates to Es la 1. Since it is just 1 hour, and not plural, then you use es.
Perhaps you've noticed that in our previous examples the time of day has been later than 1:00. In other words, plural hours of the day. Any guesses on how to say, It's 1:00?—Es la una. Since hora ends in a final -a, uno becomes una. Take a look at the examples below.
66
Es la una y media.
It's 1:30.
67
It's 1:15.
Es la una y cuarto.
68
Es la una y veinticuatro.
It's 1:24.
69
[Edit] Ex: let's look at 3:00 and 1:00. Son las tres, translates to There are 3 hours. Es la una, translates to It is 1 hour.
70
It's 12:15.
Son las doce y quince.
71
It's 11:11.
Son las once y once.
72
Es la una y media.
It's 1:30.
73
[Edit] Este and esta both mean this, depending on if the word it is referring to is masculine or feminine. For example:
this table is esta mesa
this room is este cuarto
Este and esta take the place of el and la. When you want to say this bathroom, use este in place of el. How do you say the bathroom?—el baño. How do you say this bathroom?—este baño. You should use esta in place of la. So, the family is la familia and this family is esta familia.
74
Don't confuse these two words - esta and está. [Edit] The only difference in how they are written is the accent mark. They are also pronounced slightly differently. Notice in each case where the emphasis is placed.
75
AY-stah
esta
76
ay-STAH
está
77
[Edit] whenever you see an el change it to an este; whenever you see a la change it to esta.
78
[Edit] Keep in mind that as with el and la, este and esta are not always found at the onset of a sentence.
79
I want to buy this house.
Quiero comprar esta casa.
80
After using this bathroom
Después de usar este baño
81
Where's this telephone?
¿Dónde está este teléfono?
82

83
big

84
[Edit] What's interesting about these Spanish adjectives is that generally they are placed after the noun. For example, the big house is la casa grande. The pretty house is la casa bonita. While this may seem confusing at first, let's look at it a different way. Spanish first says what the object is – and then it is described, which actually makes a lot of sense!
85
pequeño / pequeña
small
86
guapo / guapa
good looking
87
simpatico / simpática
nice
88
amable
kind
89
mucho / mucha
alot
90
dulce
sweet
91
caro / cara
expensive
92
bueno / buena
good
93
malo / mala
bad
94
bonito / bonita
pretty
95
feo / fea
ugly
96
nuevo / nueva
new
97
viejo / vieja
old
98
joven
young
99
sucio / sucia
dirty
100
mojado / mojada
wet
101
[Edit] When looking at these adjectives, you'll see that most of them end in either a final -o or a final -a. Take the adjective, small. In Spanish small is either pequeño or pequeña. In other words, there are two ways to say, small in Spanish. It's either pequeño with a final -o or it's pequeña with a final -a. When the noun ends in a final -a, you want to use the adjective with the same final -a. When the noun ends in a final -o, you want to use the adjective with the final -o. Every so often, you find nouns that do not end in -o or -a. If you come across this, look at the article in front to see if it is masculine or feminine. For example: el restaurante bueno or la calle pequeña
102
La casa pequeña
The small house
103
Esta casa bonita
This pretty house
104
La cocina fea
The ugly kitchen
105
Esta escuela buena
This good school
106
Este cuarto pequeño
This small room
107
El restaurante bonito
The pretty restaurant
108
El baño feo
The ugly bathroom
109
Este restaurante bueno
This good restaurant
110
La máquina mala
The bad machine
111
Esta cama pequeña
This small bed
112
Este cuarto caro
This expensive room
113
[Edit] You may have noticed that for adjectives that do not end in –o, there is no feminine form. For example, joven, amable, and grande are used for both masculine and feminine words. These kinds of adjectives are easy to use. You don't have to worry about changing anything. Grande will always be grande and amable will always be amable.
114
El padre amable
The kind father
115
Este hijo amable
This kind son
116
Su tío amable
Your kind uncle
117
La máquina grande
The big machine
118
[Edit] In English you can reduce the kind uncle to the kind one; the good house to the good one; or the ugly bathroom to the ugly one. In English, all you have to do is get rid of the noun and replace it with the word, one. It is similar in Spanish. You just remove the noun though. El tío amable becomes El amable. La casa buena becomes La buena. El baño feo becomes El feo.
119
El hermano guapo
El guapo
120
El tío amable
El amable
121
La casa buena
La buena
