What's the weather like ?

Hi there! Today I would like to show you how we talk about the weather in Spanish.

The question would be: ¿Qué tiempo hace?

Note that we use the noun "tiempo" both for "time" and for "weather" in Spanish.

Then, we may reply one of the following expressions, depending on how the weather is like:

Hace sol - It is sunny (literally "it does Sun")
Está nublado - It is cloudy (literally "it is cloudy")
Llueve - It rains (literally the same)
Nieva - It snows (literally the same)
Hay tormenta - It is stormy (literally "there is storm")

Besides that, you may want to talk about the feeling of warmth:

Hace calor - It is hot (literally "it does hot")
Hace frío - It is cold (literally "it does cold")
Se está bien - It is fresh and nice (literally something like "it is felt as good")
Ni frío ni calor - Nor cold neither hot (= good weather)

Note the difference with the following expressions:

Tengo frío (I am cold)
Tengo calor (I am hot)

The first one is about the weather, the second one is how do you feel.

Hope you like it, have a nice day! :)

What's the time in Spanish

Hi there! In this post we will see how to say what time it is in Spanish.

First of all, we need to remember the numbers from 1 to 60. Do not worry, let's review them now!

Alright! Having that in your mind, we can see the words that we need to say what time it is... Note that the hour (la hora) is a femenine noun, therefore we need to write the number in female.

one o'clock = la una.
a quarter past one = la una y cuarto.
half past one = la una y media.
a quarter to one = la una menos cuarto.
two o'clock straight = las dos en punto.

Note: Do not forget that number higher than 1 are plural (obvious, right? =), then you need to use the plural article with them (las dos, las tres... las diez, las once, las doce...)

And finally, what about the 'digital' way of telling time? just say the hour and replace the bold part above with "y" followed by the specific number of minutes... like --> 1:25 pm = la una y veinticinco.

Now let's see if you can tell me what time it is in the clocks below. ¿Qué hora es? Feel free to let me know in the comments section below :)
