Welcome back and thanks for reading!

Today’s word is another simple verb, this time in honor of mi marido (my husband, AKA “Moondoggie”), who spent last week in Argentina on business:

Viajar

[vee-ah-HAR]

which in English means to travel.

Here’s how it’s conjugated in the present:

Yo viajo [vee-AH-ho] (I travel)
Tú viajas (you travel)
Él/ella/usted viaja (he/she/you travels)
Nosotros viajamos (we travel)
Ellos/ellas/ustedes viajan (they travel)

Here are some related words/phrases that Moondoggie used a lot (or learned) in Argentina:

¡hola! [OH-law] (hello!)

¡chao! [chow] (‘bye!)

¿Cuánto cuesta? [KWAN-to KWES-tah] (How much does it cost?)

coca [KO-kah] (Coca-Cola)

bife [BEE-fay] / lomo [LO-mo] / carne [CAR-nay] (all refer to beef/meet/steak)

¿Qué es esto? [kay es ES-to] (What is this?)

Aqua sin gas [AW-gwah seen gas] (uncarbonated water)

¿Otra vez? [OH-traw vays] (again? as in, can you repeat that again?)

la cuenta [la KWEN-tah] (check/bill ~in a restaurant)
