- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Spanish with Fexingo, everyone. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Episode 35! Can you believe it? Lucas: I know! We've learned so much. Today we're starting a really important verb. Luna: Ooh, a verb. Is it a tricky one? Lucas: It's very common. The verb 'tener' — which means 'to have'. Luna: Oh, like 'I have' something. I love that. Lucas: Exactly. Let's start with 'I have'. In Spanish: 'tengo'. Luna: 'Tengo'. Lucas: Perfect. Now, 'you have' — when talking to one person casually: 'tienes'. Luna: 'Tienes'. Lucas: And 'he has' or 'she has': 'tiene'. Luna: 'Tiene'. Lucas: Great. So let's try a full phrase: 'Tengo un libro.' — I have a book. Luna: 'Tengo un libro.' Lucas: Sounds good. Now, Luna, do you have a cat? Let's ask '¿Tienes un gato?' Luna: '¿Tienes un gato?' Lucas: Perfect. And if I want to say 'He has a car': 'Él tiene un coche.' Luna: 'Él tiene un coche.' Lucas: Awesome. Let's practice each one again. Say them after me: 'tengo'. Luna: 'Tengo'. Lucas: 'tienes'. Luna: 'Tienes'. Lucas: 'tiene'. Luna: 'Tiene'. Lucas: Now let's use them in a mini conversation. I'll say something, and you respond. Luna: Okay, I'm ready. Lucas: I say: 'Tengo un perro.' Luna: Oh, you have a dog! So I can say: '¿Tienes un gato?' Lucas: Yes! And my answer: 'No, pero ella tiene un gato.' Luna: 'Ella tiene un gato.' She has a cat. Lucas: Perfect. Let's do a quick review. What's 'I have a book'? Luna: 'Tengo un libro.' Lucas: And 'Do you have a cat?' Luna: '¿Tienes un gato?' Lucas: And 'He has a car'? Luna: 'Él tiene un coche.' Lucas: You're nailing it. So tomorrow we'll keep building with 'tener'. Luna: I can't wait. Thanks for joining us on Fexingo. Lucas: Practice 'tengo', 'tienes', 'tiene' until next time. ¡Hasta luego! Luna: ¡Hasta luego!
