Below are some of the first phrases I learned in Spanish because they are said everywhere and all the time.
Claro/Claro que si = Of course
Ven aqui = Come here
Ya voy = I’m coming
Con permiso = With permission (used to pass by someone, “excuse me”)
Pasale = Pass (used to let someone in your house, to let someone pass by you in general)
Que rico! = Said when food is really good
Mas or menos = More or less
Andale pues = Used to end a conversation or encounter. Similar to “OK then”
Mande? = What? (Usually yelled throughout our house)

When I was in the Army I served with a lot of guys from Puerto Rico. They said, “mira” all of the time. Although they sounded as if they said, “Meedah.” I couldn’t help but pick it up and use it. Even the guys who didn’t want to learn Spanish used it.
