Let's get started.
Today I'm at a supermarket in San Sebastian.
This is a city supermarket called Eeroski,
and it will certainly have the essentials I'm after.
It's not the biggest shop,
But it still looks like it has everything you could ever need.
Essentials-wise.
Wow.
There's a big Ramon display with prime quality chamon.
Four, guess, five euros.
So, today I'm looking for...
Let's see.
Cafe?
Pan,
keeso,
weos,
lece,
and...
Mantequia.
That should be enough to make my Airbnb a bit more livable.
So, let's have a look.
To say I'm looking for in Spanish is...
Busco.
Busco.
Sounds kind of like bus, doesn't it?
Imagine you're looking for a bus.
Busco.
Busco.
So, how do you think you'd say, I'm looking for,
or bread.
Busco pan.
Busco.
Pan.
How about I'm looking for eggs?
Busco weaos.
Busco.
I'm looking for cheese.
Busco queso.
Busco.
Kesa.
I'm looking for milk.
Busco lece.
Busco.
Lece.
How about?
I'm looking for.
butter, busco mantequia,
busco,
mantechia.
Now,
how do you think you would say
you're looking for bread?
Formally,
Busca pan,
busca,
pan.
To say it informally to a friend,
you'd say,
buskas,
buskas.
The exact same,
but add an S
on the end.
As we're in the
supermarket and we don't know the work is here personally, we use the formal.
Busca.
Busca.
So then, how would you say, you're looking for cheese?
Busca queso.
Busca.
Kesa.
How about, are you looking for eggs?
As a question.
Busca wearos?
Busca wearos?
Remember, the upward intonation when asking a question.
And remember to add question marks.
before and after when writing.
Are you looking for coffee?
Busca cafe?
Busca.
Cafe?
You are looking for milk.
Busca lece.
You're looking for milk.
Busca lece.
I can't actually find the eggs.
I don't know if it's just me,
but I can never find the eggs in any supermarket in both Spain or England.
Here's an attendant.
Eh, per don't.
Busco
Uvos
Ah, there
Thank you
Thank you
They were right here
I walked right past them
Let's get them in the basket
Which is called by the way
One sesta
Or la sesta
The basket
In Spain though
You would hear it as
Cesta
Or na festa.
Right then.
Where were we?
Ah, yes.
So how do you think you'd say,
They?
They are looking for milk.
It follows the same pattern as all the other words in this series.
Buscan Lece.
Buscan.
Lece.
They are looking or they are searching for milk.
That's it.
Super simple.
You just changed the O from Busco to An to make Buscan.
Buscan.
If ever talking about more than one person doing something, even if you aren't sure,
if you add an to the end, you have a pretty strong chance of saying the right word.
But learning Spanish isn't about perfection.
Having a go and making mistakes is what elevates your Spanish exponentially.
So, how about they are looking for bread?
Buscan pan.
Buscan.
Pan.
And how would you ask, are they looking for eggs?
Buscan weas?
Buscan weas?
Are they looking for butter?
Buscan mantequia?
Buscan mantequia?
How would you say they aren't looking for milk?
No, buscan leche.
No.
They're not looking for milk.
No buscan leche.
How about they aren't looking for bread?
They're looking for cheese.
No buscan pan.
Buscan queso.
No.
Buscan pan.
Buscan queso.
How about what are they looking for?
What are they looking for?
What are they looking for?
What?
Why are they looking for cheese?
Why are they looking for cheese?
For what?
Quee
Buscan
Kesao.
Ay, aye, aye, why are they looking for cheese?
How about?
He's looking for cheese.
Busta Keseo.
Busta.
Kesa.
She's looking for milk.
But you need to specify that it's
her that's looking for him because there's a male next to her. She's looking for milk.
Hea busca leche. He's looking for butter. But again, you need to specify. He's looking for butter.
El busca mantequia. Busca mantequia. Now the formal word for you in Spanish is
Usted. Say it with me.
Usted
If you wanted to add emphasis
to someone doing something
You can add this
Ustead before the word in Spanish
But it isn't necessary by any means
It is good to know
As we will hear it sometimes
So
You're looking for eggs
Becomes
Ustead
Bustcauevos
Ustead
Musca
Weevos
You are drinking water
with emphasis on the you.
You,
You bebe
water.
Usted
Bebe
Agua.
You are looking for cheese.
Usteu
Ustsca queso.
Ustead
busca
queso.
Now,
we know that to add
emphasis for you,
he and she,
is
Usted,
El,
Eya.
But to add
emphasis for them,
more than one
person, we say
EYos. The word for they
or them is
Eyes. A scenario where you'd use this
is if there were a couple of
different groups of people and you wanted
to emphasize which ones,
perhaps pointing at them.
So, how would you emphasize
that they are looking
for eggs? Eos
buscan weros. Eyes
buscan
weiros.
They
are looking for milk.
They are looking for milk.
They
buscan leche.
They aren't looking for
butter.
They don't buscan
mantechia.
They no
buscan
mantechia.
It's good to know, but let's
forget about specifying for now.
So,
if I'm looking for
is,
what do you think to look for is the infinitive the unmodified version of the verb is
busker busker again that's the infinitive version of the verb the neutral version the version the
version that hasn't been modified i need to look for butter would be
Necessito
Buscair
Necessi
Buccar
Mantechia
The word for
something
in Spanish is
Algo
Algo
So I'm looking for something
is
Busco Algo
Algo
Algo
The word
For in Spanish is
Para
for tonight in Spanish is
this
noche
this
noche
so
how do you think you'd say
I'm looking for something
for tonight
I'm looking for this
night
I'm
something
I'm looking for
this
night
I'm looking for bread
because I'm hungry
I'm looking for I'm hungry.
Busco.
Pan.
Because.
Tengo.
Ambre.
I'm looking for bread because I'm hungry.
Busco pan because I'm hungry.
The word for only in Spanish is,
solo.
Solo.
Think about how I'm going solo.
I'm going solo, baby.
Solo.
So, with that being established, I'm only looking for cheese is...
Solo busko queso.
Solo, busco, keesa.
How about, I'm only looking for coffee because I'm not hungry.
Solo busko coffee, because I don't have hungry.
I'm only
I'm only
I'm
coffee
why
no
I'm only looking for coffee
because I'm not hungry
I'm not hungry
So I'm not hungry
Why are you only looking for coffee
Why only look for coffee?
Why solo busca coffee
Why solo busca coffee?
How about this one?
Why are you only looking for coffee?
aren't you hungry?
Why only
busca coffee?

Why solo
