Secret Word Rule
Buenos vs. Buenas
Step 3
Buenos Masculine "Good"
We use Buenos when the word pairs with masculine words like días (days).
Buenos días
Good morning!
Buenas Feminine "Good"
We use Buenas when the word pairs with feminine words like tardes and noches.
Buenas tardes
Good afternoon!
Buenas noches
Good night!
🎯 Memory Trick: Buenos días is the only one ending in -os!
Friendly Farewells
See You Later!
Step 4
¡Hasta luego!
Pronunciation: "AH-stah LWEH-go"
English Translation: "See you later" or "Until later"
🎒 When to use: When you leave school at the end of the day because you will see your friends again soon!
👋 Adiós = Goodbye (for a while)
⏰ Hasta luego = See you later (soon!)
