OK, so if you guys don't know yet, there is a new audition server that is all in spanish and is meant for the countries of central/south america. this is their website: <a href="http://www.axeso5.com/audition/" target="_blank">http://www.axeso5.com/audition/</a> .
it's a brand new server, with not much content yet, like how eau used to be, but if some of you guys are interested in checking it out, here are some simple spanish phrases you can use in game. some of them you undoubtedly already know, but a refresher never hurt xD
i know most basic phrases since i know some spanish, but i'm probably not up to date on all the slang that spanish speakers use so if you know some please share it so i can update my list!
You might not see all of these in game, especially if you're playing with random people, but if you make a new friend he or she might want to know more about you, so i included some "getting to know you" phrases.
i know my phrases don't include the accents, sorry but i am lazy
and in game they usually don't use them anyway.
Meeting People
hola - hello, hi
como te llamas? - what's your name? (literally "how are you called")
me llamo (name) - my name is.... (me llamo stephanie, me llamo michael, etc.)
mucho gusto - it's nice to meet you
de donde eres? - where are you from?
OR
donde vives? - where do you live?
soy de... - i am from... (soy de los estados unidos; i am from the united states)
OR

Other Phrases

)

que tal - how's it going (thanks ishaboo)
nada - nothing
estoy aburrido/a - i'm bored (thanks ishaboo) NOTE: if you are a guy you will say "estoy aburrido", if you are a girl you will say "estoy aburrida".
como estas? - how are you?
- you can answer como estas by saying muy bien (very good), asi asi (so-so), or muy mal (very bad). after you say one of those, you can add y tu (and you?) to ask them how they are doing.
Goodbye/AFK
adios - goodbye, bye
tengo que ir - i have to go
hasta la vista, hasta luego - see you later (thanks ishaboo)
me voy - i'm leaving
te vas? - are you leaving?
voy y vuelvo - brb (i saw this in game today, it literally means "i'm going and i'm returning" - so i believe they use it like a brb. someone else can correct me if i'm off on that xD )
gracias por jugar - thanks for playing/thanks for the games
In Game/Lobby
some other random phrases you may see, these are things i saw in game so they may be slang spanish as well.
cambia de cancion, cambia la cancion - change the song
pon otra cancion - put a different song (this is used more when you don't like the song that the DJ has chosen, if you just want them to change the song from the one you just played, use cambia de cancion or cambia la cancion.)
jeje/jaja - hehe/haha (just their way of writing laughter)
me gusta esta cancion - i like this song
no me gusta esta cancion - i don't like this song
[es] muy lento - it's so slow (you may just see this as muy lento)
[es] muy rapido - it's so fast (again you may just see it as muy rapido)
bien - good
por favor - please
gracias - thank you
de nada - you're welcome
lo siento - i'm sorry
and a note about "gl hf" - the people i played with didn't really say anything at the start of games that would equate to a gl hf, but if you'd like, you can use buena suerte or just suerte. they didn't really say gg either, or an equivalent of it, this could just be the people i played with
if anyone knows how to say it, please tell me ^^
And if you're really not good in Spanish and you can't understand the people talking to you, here are a few phrases to use.
lo siento, no hablo espanol muy bien - sorry, i don't speak spanish that well
hablas ingles? - do you speak english?
no comprendo - i don't understand
me lo repita por favor - please repeat that for me
como? - pardon me, what (thanks ishaboo)
and i think that should be enough to get you guys started xD if you have any phrases to add please tell me ^^
