Learning Spanish? Well, you’re smart to make sure you know your Spanish numbers. Show
After all, numbers are essential for getting around in the world – whether you need to tell a waiter to bring three glasses for your bottle of wine or simply want to know how much a jumper costs. In this article, we’ll teach you the Spanish numbers to 100. Before we begin, it’s important to note that these numbers will sound a little different in Spain than they do in Latin America. However, it’s easy enough to understand both if you know the differences between Spanish in Spain and the Americas. The biggest pronunciation change you need to know when it comes to counting in Spanish is that, in Spanish speaking countries in the Americas, the letter ‘c’ is pronounced as an ‘s’ sound in when it comes before an ‘e’ or an ‘i’. For those same words, it’s pronounced instead as a ‘th’ sound (like ‘thanks’ or ‘thermometer’) in Spain. Ready? Let’s go.

By Last updated: January 18, 2022 How to Say “No” in Spanish: 19 Ways to Get in the Know About “No”Even if you are an absolute beginner, you already know the two most important words in Spanish. Let me break it down for you: Sí (Yes). No (No). Great job! That is one step closer to fluency. Phew! Now, let’s take one more step: Just like in English, there are many different ways to say “no” in Spanish besides simply saying no. The “no” you use if a child asks to play with you when you are busy is probably not the same “no” you burst out when your brother asks you to borrow money for the 50th time that month. Knowing the different ways to say “no” in Spanish will help you sound more natural, add variety to your speech and finally tell your brother who is boss in a way that would make El Patron proud. It is time to know how to say “no”! Download: This blog post is available as a convenient and portable PDF that you can take anywhere. Click here to get a copy. (Download) Below is a list of common ways to say “no” in Spanish and phrases that convey a negative answer, along with some example sentences for context. Common Ways to Say “No” in SpanishNo gracias — No thank youThis is the basic, polite way to express that, “really, I’d rather not.” ¿Quieres una copa de sake japonés? (Do you want a cup of Japanese sake?) No gracias. (No, thank you.) Qué va — No wayWhile it literally means “what goes,” this is used to express that you cannot believe what the other person is saying and you find it to be utter nonsense. Vámonos a alimentar a los caimanes. (Let’s go feed the alligators.) ¡Qué va! (No way!) Nunca — NeverThis word is one of the most forceful ways to say “no” in Spanish. It leaves no chance of misinterpretation! ¿Te casarás conmigo? (Will you marry me?) ¡Nunca! (Never!) Lo suficiente — It’s enoughThis “no” is implied: When there is enough of something, you do not need any more. Just respond to a question like “Do you want more of this?” with “That’s enough.” ¿Quieres que suba el volumen? (Do you want me turn up the volume?) El volumen está bien. Lo suficiente. (The volume is fine. It’s enough.) Ni hablar — Forget it, no wayWhen something is so completely wrong you cannot even consider it, use this expression. It is often followed by que to mean “there is no way that…” Las películas de Walt Disney son mejores que las de Don Bluth. (Walt Disney’s movies are better than Don Bluth’s.) ¿Estás loco? Ni hablar que Disney es mejor que Bluth. (Are you crazy? No way is Disney better than Bluth.) Ni se te occura — Don’t even think about itSomeone has a really bad idea? Use this “no.” ¡Escucha! Nosotros robaremos del Vaticano mañana por la noche. (Listen! We will rob from the Vatican tomorrow night.) ¿Qué? Ni se te occura. (What? Don’t even think about it.) Ni lo sueñes — No wayThis expression is close in meaning to the English “in your dreams!” Bueno, no robaremos del Vaticano. Hurtaremos la Mona Lisa del Louvre. (Okay, we won’t rob the Vatican. We’ll steal the Mona Lisa from the Louvre.) ¡Estás loco! Ni lo sueñes. (You’re crazy! No way!) De eso nada — It’s not happeningUse this one to express a firm negative answer to a suggestion. Quiero ser rico. Viajaremos a Japón y… (I want to be rich. We’ll travel to Japan and…) ¡No! ¡De eso nada! (No! It’s not happening!) De ninguna manera — No wayThis expression literally means “not in any way” and is actually the closest in meaning to the English “no way.” Bueno, podemos robar el Diamante de la esperanza del Smithsonian. (Okay, we can steal the Hope Diamond from the Smithsonian.) De ninguna manera. El Diamante de la esperanza está maldito. (No way. The Hope Diamond is cursed.) Para nada — No wayMeaning “for nothing; at all,” this phrase is often used to emphasize a negation. Used by itself, its meaning is close to “not at all” and it is a softer way to say “no.” Podemos robar las zapatillas de rubí del Smithsonian. (We can steal the ruby slippers from the Smithsonian.) Para nada. Pensé que las zapatillas de “El mago de Oz” eran de plata. (No way. I thought the slippers from “The Wizard of Oz” were made of silver.) No puede ser — It can’t beHave you ever responded with an astounded “nooo!” when something is beyond belief? This is the Spanish equivalent of that. No puede ser. Las zapatillas siempre han sido de rubí. (It can’t be. The slippers have always been ruby.) Powerful Verbs for Saying “No” in SpanishAs strange as it sounds, you do not have to always use “no” to say no. You can use verbs to convey your meaning, too. It is important to know how to say no… without actually saying no! In addition to using these verbs, your message can be conveyed through your tone of voice and body language. Additionally, notice that I used the imperativo (imperative) aka informal command verb forms in the example sentences. The imperativo negativo (negative imperative) conjugation is used when you want to be direct or get someone’s attention. You simply need the know-how (or should I say “no-how”?): When the negative imperative is combined with off-putting vocal tones and body language, your intention to say “no” is implied. If this seems odd, remember that you probably do this all the time in English. Just imagine your brother coming to you for the 51st time and asking, “My dearest sibling, can I have some money?” To which you respond, “Oh go away.” Implied… but effective! Dejar — to leave, to quit¡Déjame en paz! (Leave me in peace! / Leave me alone!) Irse — to go away, to leaveTus bromas son horribles. ¡Vete! (Your jokes are horrible. Go away!) Parar — to stop¡Para de hacer estos juegos de palabras! (Stop making puns!) Cerrar — to closeCierra la boca que no quiero oír más. (Close your mouth because I don’t want to hear any more.) Callarse — to be quiet¡Cállate ya! (Be quiet now!) It goes without saying that many of these are quite rude and should only be used with people you know well, like that money-grubbing metaphorical brother of yours. Other Ways to Say “No” in SpanishSaying no does not have to be so negative. For even subtler ways to say “no,” check out these expressions to get in the know about “no.” ¿En serio? — Are you serious?Use this when you are bewildered that the speaker is even asking their question. Think: “You need more money? Seriously?” ¿Quieres escuchar más juegos de palabras? (Do you want to hear more puns?) ¿En serio? (Are you serious?) No me digas — Don’t tell me thatWhen you are simply not interested, shake someone off with this phrase. Sé muchos juegos de palabras en ambos inglés y español. (I know many puns in both English and Spanish.) No me digas. (Don’t tell me that.) Ya basta — Enough alreadyWhen you have finally had enough, this phrase will declare that you are really not interested. Bueno, comenzaré con mis juegos de palabras con “no.” (Okay, I’ll start with my puns about “no.”) ¿Por qué me odias? Ya basta. (Why do you hate me? Enough already.) There are many ways to say “no” in Spanish and many of them do not even use the word no! The best way to practice saying no in Spanish is by simply speaking the language. For example: Ahora, nosotros hablaremos sobre los juegos de palabras en ingles y español que tienen la palabra “no.” (Now, we’ll talk about puns in English and Spanish that have the word “no.”) ¿En serio? No me digas. ¡Déjame en paz! ¡Para y cállate! Ni de coña. ¡Ya basta! (Are you serious? Don’t tell me that! Leave me in peace! Stop and be quiet! No way. Enough already!) All right, all right! I get the point. I know when to stop. Download: This blog post is available as a convenient and portable PDF that you can take anywhere. Click here to get a copy. (Download) |
