Say "Man" in Spanish

Saying "man" in Spanish is quite easy to learn. Luckily the Spanish word is quite easy to pronounce. Read on to find out more about how to say "man" in Spanish.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    The word for "man" in Spanish is "hombre".

  2. Step 2

    The "h" is silent so don't pronounce it!

    Instead, you would say "ahm-bray". Say it quickly, because Spanish is not a slowly spoken language! If you say it too slowly it will sound really bad.

  3. Step 3

    If you want to say "man" as a form of address like, "Hey man, I like your car", then you can still use "hombre". But you may want to use a word that is specific to this case.

    However, in different countries there are usually other forms of saying "man" as a form of address.

    Look at the following list to see what you might use depending on the country you are in:

    Spain = tío
    Parts of Latin America = mano
    Argentina = che
    Chile = gallo
    Anywhere = amigo

    So, if you want to localize your Spanish, use one of the above forms of address.
