The most common way to ask “Do you speak Spanish?” in Spanish is “¿Hablas español?”
“Hablas” is the second person singular conjugation of the verb “hablar,” which means “to speak.” “Español” means “Spanish.”
Here are some examples of how you might use “¿Hablas español?” in conversation:
- “¿Hablas español?” “Sí, hablo español.” (“Do you speak Spanish?” “Yes, I speak Spanish.”)
- “No, no hablo español.” (“No, I don’t speak Spanish.”)
- “¿Puede hablar español?” (“Can you speak Spanish?”)
Remember that there are different ways to phrase this question depending on the context and level of formality. For example, “¿Usted habla español?” is a more formal way to ask, and “¿Hablas tú español?” includes the pronoun “tú” to emphasize the “you” in the question.
