Literally in tears because my fish is just so happy to see me
Im her whole world 😭
Im so important to her
It’s so unnatural how excited she gets to see me
It’s so sad that I’ll be her forever but she won’t be mine

Most Essential Vocabulary #1
I decided to compile a list of some of the most basic and essential vocab for Spanish since I couldn’t totally find a lot.
These are going to be the words that you’re going to be using and seeing the most for Spanish, so it will come across as very basic for some
I decided to do this in multiple parts because there are lots of topics - so if you have suggestions on certain topics, please let me know! There probably will be words repeated for different “categories”
Pronouns
yo = I
tú = you [informal]
usted = you [formal]
nosotros = we [m+m, m+f]
nosotras = we [f+f]
ustedes = you all [for Spain it’s formal, for Latin America it’s formal and informal]
vosotros = you all [m+m, m+f; informal, Spain]
vosotras = you all [f+f; informal, Spain]
él = he
ella = her
~
elle = they
[no specified gender; this is not considered “proper” Spanish, but it is used in many queer communities for someone non-binary; “proper” Spanish only really has “he” or “she” or refers to someone of unknown or unspecified gender in vague terms like alguien “someone” or una persona “a person” and conjugates them with 3rd person singular]
-
Question Words
qué = what
que = that [connecting clauses]
lo que = what, “the thing that”, that which [a stand in for a noun]
por qué = why
el por qué = “the reason why”, “the motive”
porque = because [connecting clauses]
cuál, cuáles = which, which ones
dónde = where
donde = where [connecting clauses]
cuándo = when
cuando = when [connecting clauses]
cómo = how
como = as, like [connecting clauses]
cuánto/a = how much/many
cuanto = so much [or en cuanto “insomuch” or “as far as”]
~
cuánto/a is used with countable objects
For using “how + adj/adv” you have to use a separate expression; in more literary Spanish this is cuán which is not used very much now except in some lyrics and poetry. For everyday Spanish there’s a separate word/phrase:
qué tan = how + adj/adv [Latin America]
¿Qué tan rápido es? = How fast is it?
¿Qué tan larga es la historia? = How long is the story?
¿Qué tan profundo es el océano? = How deep is the ocean?
cómo de = how + adj/adv [Spain]
¿Cómo de grande es? = How big is it?
¿Cómo de alta es la montaña? = How high is the mountain?
¿Cómo de ancho es el río? = How wide is the river?
-
Prepositions
Please be aware certain prepositions are used differently than others. The main ones to be very aware of are: a, de, en, por, para, and con
…By far, a is the most versatile and has the most uses, followed by de
Primarily this is just a list of things to know, but some of them require proper context to fully understand in my opinion
a = to
de = of / from
en = on / in
por = for / by, via
para = for / up to / in order to
con = with
sin = without
sobre = on, upon / about, pertaining to
acerca de = about, pertaining to
hacia = toward, towards
bajo = under
debajo (de) = under, underneath
encima (de) = on top of
desde = from, since
hasta = until, up to
según = according to
antes = before
después = after
tras = following, after
entre = between
enfrente (de) = in front of, facing
junto/a = together
junto a = next to, beside
al lado de = next to
durante = for (a period of time) / during
mientras = while
a través de = through
a lo largo de = throughout
alrededor de = around, surrounding
mediante = through, via, by means of
por medio de = through, via, by means of
vía = via
versus = versus [exactly like English… because it’s Latin; the pronunciation is different obviously]

~
For dates in Spanish, you typically use the number + the month: el diecisiete de marzo for example reads as “the 17th of March” or “March 17th”
The ONLY exception is the 1st of every month is el primero instead of saying el uno. As an example: el primero de enero is “January 1st” or “the 1st of January”; this is done because it would be awkward to say “the one of January”
For days of the week you will see something like Viernes 13 [trece] “Friday the 13th” or Martes 13 “Tuesday the 13th” (which is the day of bad luck in Spanish)

Basics of Colors
Note: Some names of colors do not change for gender as they are derived from nouns - to distinguish them, I’m not including the definite articles to identify them as adjectives.
As an example, rosa “pink” comes from “rose”, so la camisa rosa “pink shirt” or el abrigo rosa “pink coat”
Note 2: When talking about colors as “the color” itself, it is always masculine; el rojo is “the color red”. This is important for distinguishing certain nouns - el naranja is “the color orange” vs. la naranja “orange (fruit)”, or el rosa “the color pink” vs. la rosa “rose (flower)”, or el turquesa “the color turquoise” vs. la turquesa “turquoise (gem)”
rojo/a = red
naranja = orange
anaranjado/a = orange, orangey
amarillo/a = yellow
verde = green
azul = blue
azul claro = light blue
azul celeste = light blue / sky blue
azul oscuro = dark blue
azul marino = navy blue
añil = indigo
turquesa = turquoise
lila = light purple / lilac, lavender (color)
morado/a = dark purple
púrpura = purple
rosa = pink
rosado/a = pink, rosy
marrón = brown
(color) café = brown
negro/a = black
blanco/a = white
gris = gray
oro = gold
dorado/a = gold, golden
plata = silver
plateado/a = silvery
bronce = bronze
bronceado/a = bronzed, tanned
arcoíris, arco iris = rainbow
oscuro/a = dark
claro/a = light (color)
castaño = brown (hair/eyes) [lit. “chestnut”]
caoba = mahogany, auburn (hair/eyes) [lit. “mahogany”]

Awww... yeah :(
Being aroflux can be so confusing sometimes. Because there are times when I'm like "Yeah, I definitely like girls. I'm gonna watch a bunch of wlw stuff on YouTube", and then after how ever much time it becomes "ehh...this is making me feel a little weird now. But I still want to keep reading wlw books and watching wlw videos and stuff". And then I get to the point where my romantic attraction just completely drops and I don't like thinking about relationships at all, which makes it hard to see myself in a relationship with a woman, making me question wether or not I'm actually gay 🤦♀️.

In a similar occurrence I was at a large shopping centre and a group of boys walked past, on of my friends squealed because when she turned around to get another look, the guy she was looking at looked back at her too.
I on the other hand did not even notice these boys as I was distracted by a pretty girl in front of me....
I WAS WATCHING A MOVIE WITH MY FRIEND AND THE SOCCER GUYS CAME OUT AND THE CHEERLEADERS WERE DANCING
And i was staring at the women and my friend screamed LOOK AT THE MEN THEYRE BEAUTIFUL
Instant gay panic 😂😂
