Spanish on the phone

 

When learning Spanish, you have probably had to face up to a conversation by phone at some point. In Spanish, as in most languages, there are some expressions and rules that all native speakers follow when picking up the phone, or when hanging up, passing a message to a different person, saying goodbye, and so on.

So if you like to get some tips to talk on thee phone in Spanish, take a look at this infographic or download the PDF here.

So there are a few expressions that can be used for different purposes:

  • To pick up the phone, if you don't know who's calling:  ¿Diga? ¿Dígame? ¿Sí? 
  • To pick up the phone, if you know who's calling: ¡Hola!; ¿Qué hay?; ¡Buenos días!...
  • To ask who is calling or to ask about the person's identity: ¿De parte de quién?
  • To pass the call to another person: Ahora se pone; Ahora se lo/la paso (formal). 
  • To ask for another person: ¿Está...? ¿Podría hablar con...? (formal).
  • To say goodbye and hang up: ¡Venga, hasta luego! (informal)
