Starting point is 00:01:14 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.
Starting point is 00:01:38 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,
Starting point is 00:01:57 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.
Starting point is 00:02:19 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.
Starting point is 00:02:44 Pan. How about I'm looking for eggs? Busco weaos. Busco. I'm looking for cheese. Busco queso. Busco. Kesa.
Starting point is 00:03:15 I'm looking for milk. Busco lece. Busco. Lece. How about? I'm looking for. butter, busco mantequia, busco,
Starting point is 00:03:36 mantechia. Now, how do you think you would say you're looking for bread? Formally, Busca pan, busca, pan.
Starting point is 00:03:57 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
Starting point is 00:04:13 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?
Starting point is 00:04:45 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?
Starting point is 00:05:16 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,
Starting point is 00:05:44 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
Starting point is 00:06:01 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
Starting point is 00:06:19 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?
Starting point is 00:06:36 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.
Starting point is 00:07:10 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.
Starting point is 00:07:57 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?
Starting point is 00:08:32 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.
Starting point is 00:09:11 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?
Starting point is 00:09:38 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?
Starting point is 00:10:10 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.
Starting point is 00:11:03 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
Starting point is 00:11:36 It is good to know As we will hear it sometimes So You're looking for eggs Becomes Ustead Bustcauevos Ustead
Starting point is 00:11:51 Musca Weevos You are drinking water with emphasis on the you. You, You bebe water. Usted
Starting point is 00:12:11 Bebe Agua. You are looking for cheese. Usteu Ustsca queso. Ustead busca queso.
Starting point is 00:12:35 Now, we know that to add emphasis for you, he and she, is Usted, El, Eya.
Starting point is 00:12:45 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
Starting point is 00:13:03 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
Starting point is 00:13:24 weiros. They are looking for milk. They are looking for milk. They buscan leche. They aren't looking for butter.
Starting point is 00:13:53 They don't buscan mantechia. They no buscan mantechia. It's good to know, but let's forget about specifying for now. So,
Starting point is 00:14:12 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
Starting point is 00:14:59 Buccar Mantechia The word for something in Spanish is Algo Algo So I'm looking for something
Starting point is 00:15:17 is Busco Algo Algo Algo The word For in Spanish is Para for tonight in Spanish is
Starting point is 00:15:46 this noche this noche so how do you think you'd say I'm looking for something for tonight
Starting point is 00:16:00 I'm looking for this night I'm something I'm looking for this night I'm looking for bread
Starting point is 00:16:24 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.
Starting point is 00:16:51 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...
