How to Say Hobbies in Spanish

Hobby – el pasatiempo, el hobby

Hobbies – los pasatiempos

Leisure – el ocio

Free time – el Tiempo libre

Useful Phrases for Hobbies in Spanish

¿Cuál es tu pasatiempo favorito?

What is your favorite hobby?

¿Cuales son tus pasatiempos favoritos?

What are your favorite hobbies?

¿Qué haces los fines de semana?

What do you do on weekends?

Me interesa….

I’m interested in….

Mi pasatiempo favorito es…

My favorite hobby is …

Mis pasatiempos favoritos son…

My hobbies are…

¿Qué te gusta hacer en tu tiempo libre?

What do you like to do in your free time?

Me gusta mucho…

I like…a lot.

Tip: You can use this with things or activities with no problem. For example, Me gusta leer. (I like Reading.) or Me gustan mucho los gatos. (I like cats a lot.). When used with things, don’t forget the article. In Spanish, general, sometimes general things require an article like el, la, las, and los. And this is one of those cases.

However, when used with a person, it changes the level of liking. It adds a romantic connotation. So, if you say, Me gusta Jose, you are saying you like Jose in a romantic way. You are attracted to Jose. It doesn’t mean “I like him” in a casual, friendly way as in English.

Me encanta…

Tip: With the verb “encantar,” don’t use “mucho.” It already means the top level of “liking/loving something.

Most Essential Words in Spanish

Expressions of politeness and Spanish greetings are some basic words you’ll need in most situations. Here are some of the terms you should focus on: 

• Adiós : Goodbye
• Buenos días : Good morning
• Buenas noches : Good night
• Buenas tardes : Good afternoon
• De nada : You’re welcome
• Disculpe : Excuse me
• Gracias : Thank you
• Perdón : Sorry / Excuse me
• Por favor : Please
• Salud : Bless you / Cheers 

Basic Pronouns in Spanish

Spanish pronouns are essential words we use to refer to people or things. As a beginner , you should learn subject pronouns first: 

• Tú : You ( informal )
• Ellos / Ellas : They
• Nosotros : We
• Usted : You (formal)
• Ustedes : You (plural)
• Vosotros : You (plural Spain)

These common Spanish words can be combined with verbs to express the action a person is doing or with adjectives to describe them. Here are some simple phrases:

Yo soy Daniela.  I am Daniela. 

Ella es maestra.  She is a teacher. 

Ustedes parecen muy amables.  You guys seem very nice.

On top of subject pronouns, you should also know these basic Spanish pronouns: 

• Me : Myself / Me
• Te : Yourself / You
• Se : Herself / Himself / Yourself
• Lo / La : It / Him / Her
• Le : Him / Her / You (formal)
• Nos : Us / Ourselves 
• Os : You (Spain)
• Los / Las : Them 
• Les : You / Them 

Tina se despierta muy tarde.  Tina wakes up very late. 

Te llamé pero no me contestaste.  I called you but you didn’t answer me . 

Check my guide to pronouns in Spanish to learn when and how to use each one of these words. 

Spanish Words for People & Relationships

• El amigo : Friend
• La chica : Girl
• El chico : Boy / Guy
• El compañero : Classmate / Coworker 
• El esposo / La esposa : Husband / Wife
• La familia : Family
• La gente : People
• El hermano / La hermana : Brother / Sister

• El papá : Dad
• La persona : Person
• El señor : Mr. / Sir / Man
• La señora : Mrs. / Madam / Woman
• La señorita : Miss
• El vecino : Neighbor 

From a grammar point of view, these words are considered nouns. Spanish nouns are often followed by adjectives to describe how someone is or verbs to express what someone does. 

No tengo vecinos .  I don’t have neighbors . 

¿Tienes hermanos ? Do you have siblings ?

Esa mujer es mi vecina .  That woman is my neighbor . 

Take Note : Nouns in Spanish have gender and plural forms . In other words, they change to express whether the person or thing we refer to is singular, plural, masculine, or feminine. 

Common Spanish Words for Places, Things & Time

• El agua : Water
• El banco : Bank
• El año : Year
• El árbol : Tree
• El calor : Heat
• La calle : Street

• La ropa : Clothes
• La semana : Week
• La silla : Chair
• El sol : Sun
• La taza : Cup
• La tarde : Afternoon / Evening
• La tienda : Store
• El vaso : Glass / Cup

And here are some examples using this Spanish vocabulary:

La silla es roja.  The chair is red.

Quiero un vaso de agua .  I want a glass of water . 

Los niños están en su cuarto .  The kids are in their bedroom . 

Disculpe, ¿dónde está el baño ? Excuse me, where is the bathroom ?

Take Note : El and la are Spanish definite articles . They’re often used in vocabulary lists to express if a word is masculine (el) or feminine (la). Articles are not the only words that can be placed before nouns . 

Spanish Vocabulary to Describe People & Things

The Spanish words below are basic terms that can help you describe people and things ( adjectives ) or actions ( adverbs ). 

• Ahora : Now

Ellas siempre hablan rápido .  They always speak fast .

La tienda está lejos de aquí .  The store is far from here . 

Take Note : In Spanish, adjectives are subject to adjective agreement , meaning that they must change to agree with the gender and number of the words they describe. Spanish adverbs , on the other hand, don’t have these types of changes. 

Basic Question Words in Spanish

These are the basic Spanish interrogative words you can use to ask information questions: 

• ¿Cómo? – How?
• ¿Cuándo? – When?
• ¿Dónde? – Where? 
• ¿Qué? / ¿Cuál? – What? / Which?
• ¿Quién? – Who?

• ¿Cuánto? – How much?

¿ Qué es eso? What is that?

¿ Cómo te llamas? What’s your name?

¿ Quién es ella? Who is she?

¿ Dónde está la estación de tren? Where is the train station?

Keep in mind that question words in Spanish have particular uses that may not align with their English equivalents. So, make sure you understand how and when to use each term.
