PREFACE.


The aid of a reliable book of dialogues in the study of a language
cannot be overestimated, and it is with a view to further increasing the
usefulness in this respect of the present work that it has been
thoroughly revised, and a number of important changes made in it. The
pages on Spanish pronunciation have been re-written and augmented, as
have also those on the verbs, and numerous additions have been made to
the vocabularies, several of which have also been rearranged. As in the
new editions of the French and other dialogues of the series, idioms and
proverbs, alphabetically arranged, have been substituted for less useful
matter, and some aids are given to letter-writing, but for a full
treatment of this latter subject those interested are referred to
special works dealing with it issued by the same publishers.

The above changes, together with others of a minor character, but which
bring the work right up to date, will, it is felt, be appreciated by all
desirous of acquiring a good conversational knowledge of the Spanish
language.

REMARKS ON PRONUNCIATION.


THE SPANISH ALPHABET.

The Spanish Alphabet consists of =28= letters:

  =A a=   ah      | =J j=   [A]hotah  | =R r= ereh (or erreh)
  =B b=   beh     | =K k=   kah       | =S s= esseh
  =C C=   theh    | =L l=   elleh     | =T t= teh
  =Ch ch= cheh    | =Ll ll= elyeh     | =U u= oo
  =D d=   deh     | =M m=   emmeh     | =V v= veh
  =E e=   eh      | =N n=   enneh     | =X x= ehkis
  =F f=   effeh   | =Ñ ñ=   enyeh     | =Y y= yeh (or ee gree-eh´gah)
  =G g=  [1]heh   | =O o=   oh        | =Z z= thehtah
  =H h=   acheh   | =P p=   peh       |
  =I i=   ee      | =Q q=   coo       |

The letter _k_ occurs only in words of foreign origin.

The vowels are: _a_, _e_, _i_, _o_, _u_. The letter _y_ is a vowel also
at the end of a word, as in _rey_, king, and in the conjunction _y_,
and.


ACCENTS AND SIGNS.

The acute accent (´) is the only one now in use in Spanish, and it
serves to indicate the syllable on which stress is to be laid. It marks
departures from the rule that words of two or more syllables ending in a
vowel or _n_ or _s_ are stressed on the last syllable but one, and those
ending in a consonant (except _n_ and _s_), on the final syllable. It
is used also to distinguish between words of the same spelling but
different meanings, and is placed over the preposition _a_, and the
conjunctions _e_, _o_ and _u_, when emphasised. The conjunction _o_ must
always be accented when used with figures.

Formerly, the grave accent (`) and the circumflex (^) were also in use
in Spanish, all three accents being used indiscriminately to indicate
the stressed syllable. The circumflex was used also on the vowel
following _ch_ and _x_ in old Spanish spelling, to indicate that these
letters were to be pronounced like _k_ and _ks_ respectively.

The diæresis (¨) is placed over the _u_ in the syllables _gue_ and _gui_
when the _u_ is to be pronounced, as in the words _agüero_, omen;
_argüir_, to argue.

The hyphen (-) is used at the end of a line to connect the syllables of
a divided word. It is also used in a few compound words.

The tilde (~) is used over the letter _n_ only, and gives that letter a
sound very similar to that of _ni_ in the English word _opinion_.

It was originally a sign of abbreviation, and indicated the omission of
an _m_ or _n_.

The interrogation (?) and exclamation (!) marks are used before and
after the sentence in Spanish, being inverted (¿ ¡) when preceding.

Other punctuation marks are used as in English.


PRONUNCIATION OF THE VOWELS.

_Note._--Spanish vowels have each one sound only, but this sound is
influenced by accent or stress, the emphasised vowel being naturally
longer or fuller than the same vowel when not emphasised.

=a= is sounded like _a_ in _far_ or in _fat_: _mar_, sea; _sal_, salt;

=e= like _a_ in _mate_, or _e_ in _met_: _mesa_, table; _venta_, sale;

=i= like _i_ in _marine_ or in _pin_: _mina_, mine; _fin_, end;

=o= like _o_ in _note_ or in _not_: _cono_, cone; _con_, with;

=u= like _u_ in _rule_ or in _full_: _luna_, moon; _mundo_, world.

=y=, as a vowel, has the same sound as _i_: _muy_, very; _ley_, law.


COMPOUND VOWELS.

These consist of combinations formed with the strong vowels _a_, _e_,
_o_, each of which, when they meet, is pronounced as forming a separate
syllable:

=ae=, =ao=, as in _faena_, task; _nao_, ship.

=ea=, =eo=, as in _correa_, strap; _empleo_, employment.

=oa=, =oe=, as in _loa_, praise; _poema_, poem.


DIPHTHONGS.

These are formed by combining one of the strong vowels, _a_, _e_, _o_,
with one of the weak vowels, _i_, _u_, or by a combination of the two
weak vowels alone. In the former the stress falls on the strong vowel,
and in the latter on the second;

=ai (ay), au=, as in _aire_, air; _causa_, cause;

=ei (ey), eu=, as in _seis_, six; _neutro_, neuter;

=ia, ie, io, iu=, as in _diario_, daily; _viuda_, widow;

=oi (oy), ou=, as in _boina_, cap; _bou_, fishing-boat;

=ua, ue, ui (uy), uo=, as in _agua_, water; _ruido_, noise.


TRIPHTHONGS.

These are a combination of the two weak vowels with one of the strong
ones:

=iai, iei=, as in _apreciáis_, ye appreciate; _apreciéis_ (that) ye
appreciate;

=uai, uei=, as in _averiguáis_, ye verify; _averigüéis,_ (that) ye
verify.


PRONUNCIATION OF THE CONSONANTS.

The following letters are pronounced generally as in English: _b_, _d_,
_f_, _k_, _l_, _m_, _n_, _p_, _r_, _s_, _t_, _v_, _x_ and _y_
(consonant). It should, however, be noted that the _b_ is slightly
softer than in English, as is also the _d_ at or towards the end of a
word; that the _r_ is always trilled, the _s_ always hissed, and the _t_
pronounced close to the teeth.

=c= before _a_, _o_, _u_, and before a consonant, is pronounced like
_k_: _capa_, cape; _crema_, cream: before _e_ and _i_ it has the sound
of _th_ in _bath_: _cera_, wax; _cima_, summit.

=ch= is always sounded like _ch_ in _check_: _coche_, carriage; _ocho_,
eight.

=g= before _a_, _o_, _u_, and before a consonant, is pronounced like _g_
in _go_: _goma_, gum; _grano_, grain: before _e_ and _i_ it is sounded
like _h_ strongly aspirated in the throat: _gente_, people; _gitano_,
gipsy. The pronunciation of _gua_ is _gwah_: _guante_, glove; _guardia_,
guard; and _gue_ and _gui_ are sounded as in _guess_ and _guild_,
respectively: _guerra_, war; _guitarra_, guitar; but _güe_ and _güi_ are
pronounced _gweh_ and _gwee_: _vergüenza_, shame; _lingüista_, linguist.

=h= is always silent: _harina_, flour; _anhelo_, eagerness.

=j= has always the same sound as that given to _g_ before _e_ and _i_:
_jabón_, soap; _hoja_, leaf.

=ll= has a sound very similar to that of _lli_ in _million_: _llave_,
key; _tallo_, stalk.

=ñ= is sounded like _ni_ in _minion_: _cuña_, wedge; _daño_, damage.

=q= is always followed by _u_, the two together being sounded like _k_:
_quedo_, quiet; _quinto_, fifth.

=z= has the same sound always as that of _c_ before _e_ and _i_:
_zarza_, bramble; _zona_, zone.


ARTICULATION.

In Spanish, every syllable is pronounced, and every stressed or accented
syllable is strongly emphasised. Every vowel, also, is given its proper
sound, generally, as in the alphabet, a shorter or weaker sound, as when
unaccented or unstressed, being the principal variation. The only silent
letters in ordinary speech are the consonant _h_, and the vowel _u_ in
the combinations _gue_, _gui_, _que_, _qui_; but, colloquially, several
other letters are either silent, or nearly so, in certain positions; as,
for example, _b_ before _sc_ or _st_; _d_ at or towards the end of a
word, especially in the word _usted_ (you); _n_ in _trans_, principally
before a consonant; and _p_ before _t_. Spanish articulation is somewhat
more emphatic than English, especially towards the end of a sentence.

I am going to tell you            |Voy a decirle a V.
that...                           |que...
                                  |
I assure you that...              |Le aseguro a V. que...
                                  |
That I assure you.                |Eso se lo aseguro a V.
                                  |
That I can assure you.            |Eso se lo puedo asegurar a V.
                                  |
You may rely upon                 |Puede V. fiarse en lo
what I tell you.                  |que le digo.
                                  |
There is no doubt about it.       |No cabe duda.
                                  |
You are right.                    |Tiene V. razón.
                                  |
You are quite right.              |Está V. muy en lo cierto.
                                  |
Yes. No.                          |Sí. No.
                                  |
I say it is.                      |Digo que sí.
                                  |
I say it is not.                  |Digo que no.
                                  |
I maintain that it is so.         |Sostengo que es así.
                                  |
I maintain that it is             |Sostengo que no es

                                  |
I suppose so.                     |Supongo que sí.
                                  |
I suppose not.                    |Supongo que no.
                                  |
I should say so.                  |Me parece que sí.
                                  |
Certainly.                        |Cierto que sí.
                                  |
Certainly not.                    |Cierto que no.
                                  |
You may well think that...        |Bien puede V. pensar que...
                                  |
You may easily think              |V. puede fácilmente
that...                           |creer que...
                                  |
Do you think so?                  |¿Lo cree V.? ¿Lo
                                  |cree V. así?
                                  |
I think so.                       |Lo creo. Así lo creo.
                                  |
I think so too.                   |Yo lo creo también.
                                  |
I should think so!                |¡Ya lo creo!
                                  |
I think not.                      |Creo que no.
                                  |
I do not think so.                |No lo creo.
                                  |
I should think not indeed!        |¡Eso sí que no!
                                  |
You must know that...             |V. debe saber que...
                                  |
I must tell you...                |Debo decirle a V....
                                  |
I am inclined to think...         |Me inclino a creer...
                                  |
I dare say it is so.              |No dudo que será así.
                                  |
What do you mean?                 |¿Qué quiere V. decir?
                                  |
I do not know what                |No sé lo que V. quiere
you mean.                         |decir.
                                  |
Is it certain that...?            |¿Es cierto que...?
                                  |
Is it true that...?               |¿Es verdad que...?
                                  |
Yes, it is true.                  |Sí, es verdad.
                                  |
It is quite true.                 |Es muy verdad.
                                  |
It is positive.                   |Es positivo.
                                  |
It is only too true.              |Es demasiado cierto.
                                  |
It is a fact.                     |Es un hecho.
                                  |
It is an absolute fact.           |Es un hecho positivo.
                                  |
Are you sure of what              |¿Está V. seguro de lo
you say?                          |que dice?
                                  |
Would you believe that...?        |¿Querrá V. creer que...?
                                  |
I could believe it.               |Podría creerlo.
                                  |
Do you believe it?                |¿Lo cree V.?
                                  |
I believe it.                     |Lo creo.
                                  |
I believe so too.                 |Yo lo creo también.
                                  |
That I believe.                   |Eso lo creo yo.
                                  |
Do not believe it.                |No lo crea V.
                                  |
I do not believe it.              |No lo creo.
                                  |
I do not believe a                |No creo ni una palabra

                                  |
I emphatically deny it.           |Lo niego rotundamente.
                                  |
No such thing.                    |No hay tal cosa.
                                  |
Are you quite sure of it?         |¿Está V. seguro de ello?
                                  |
Nothing is more certain.          |Nada hay más cierto.
                                  |
I answer for it.                  |Respondo de ello.
                                  |
I could not answer for it.        |No podría responder de ello.
                                  |
You may believe it.               |Puede V. creerlo.
                                  |
It cannot be true.                |No puede ser verdad.
                                  |
You are mistaken.                 |Se engaña V. Se equivoca V.
                                  |
It is not true.                   |No es verdad.
                                  |
It is a fib.                      |Es mentira (cuento, historia).

Is it really true?                |¿Es eso verdad?
                                  |
I can hardly believe it.          |Apenas si puedo creerlo.

FOOTNOTES:

[1] A throat aspirate.

[2] In this and similar expressions the article is omitted in Spanish;
as: a pound and a half, _libra y media_; a yard and a half, _vara y
media_; eighteen-pence, _chelín y medio_, etc.

[3] In Spain, parliament is called _las Cortes_, and a member of
parliament _un diputado a Cortes_.

[4] See vocabulary of business terms, page 361.

[5] The par value of the pound sterling is 25 pesetas; the rate of
exchange, of course, varies. See page 408.

[6] In Spanish America, _la locomotiva_.

[7] The sizes of collars, gloves, shoes, etc., are indicated in Spanish
in centimetres; thus, size 6 in gloves in English would be size 15 in
Spanish.

[8] Abbreviated to _cien_ when immediately preceding a noun or its
adjective.

[9] The _o_ of _primero_ is dropped before a noun or its adjective.
_Tercero_ and _postrero_ are also so abbreviated, generally.

[10] The noun of nationality may begin with a capital or a small letter.

[11] Or _Antoñito_. Spanish colloquial names are generally formed from
the ordinary Christian names by adding the diminutive termination _ito_,
etc.; as: _Juanito_, Jack (from _Juan_, John), _Anita_, Nancy, etc.
(from _Ana_, _Ann_, etc.). The principal exceptions are given in the
present list.

[12] Tenses not given are conjugated regularly.

[13] Smoking compartments of Spanish trains are marked "Fumadores," but
smoking is allowed in all compartments provided the other passengers do
not object.

[14] _Desayuno_, early breakfast; _almuerzo_, late breakfast. Strictly
speaking "_breakfast_" is "_desayuno_," but when it is a substantial
meal, or a late one, it is generally called "_almuerzo_."

[15] Or _mantequilla_ especially in Spanish America.

[16] Also called _las once_ or _el lunch_. _La merienda_ (generally
translated "lunch"), is a snack taken as a rule between dinner and
supper, usually by children. The Spanish midday meal is generally called
_la comida_, and the evening meal _la cena_.

[17] In Spanish restaurants and cafés the waiter's attention is
attracted by clapping the hands.

[18] Tea as a meal is not a Spanish custom. See note, page 195.

[19] _Buenos días_ is used till noon, _buenas tardes_ from noon till
dusk, and _buenas noches_ afterwards.

[20] The names of the days and months may begin with a capital letter,
as in English.

[21] Given merely as an equivalent. Names of papers are not translated
as a rule.

[22] Or less formally: _Que V. lo pase bien, Caballero_ (_Señora_).

[23] Spaniards generally address their servants in the second person
(tú), but the third person or polite form (V.) is not unusual.

[24] Flower-garden, _jardín_; fruit-garden, _huerto_; vegetable-garden,
_huerta_.

[25] Or, _nunca por mucho trigo es mal año_.

[26] In Spain stamps are sold at tobacconists' (_estancos_), not as in
England, at the Post Office.

[27] See note, page 46.

[28] _Seguro servidor_ (faithful servant).

[29] _Que besa su mano_ (who kisses your hand). This latter formula is
little used in Spanish America, and is often omitted in Spain. Letters
from gentlemen to ladies end with Q.B.S.P., _que besa sus pies_ (who
kisses your feet).

[30] The value of the pound sterling varies, of course, according to the
rate of exchange.

[31] The _10-centimos_ piece is called _perro grande_ or _perro gordo_,
and the _5-centimos_ piece, _perro chico_.
