"And you?"

Here's another easy one. You know "and" and you know "you". Put them together:

Spanish Y Usted (ee oo-stayth)

Italian E Lei (ay lay)

French Et vous? (ay voo)

I wouldn't have bothered with this, except that you now can have a short conversation. Ready?

English	Spanish	Italian	French
Good day. How are you?	Buenos días. ¿Cómo está Usted?	Buongiorno. Come sta Lei?	Bonjour. Comment allez-vous?
Well, thanks. And you?	Bien, gracias. ¿Y Usted?	Bene, grazie. E Lei?	Bien, merci. Et vous?
Very well, thanks.	Muy bien, gracias.	Molto bene, grazie.	Très bien, merci.

Granted, you're not quite ready to deliver that Nobel Prize acceptance speech just yet, but at least you can be civil to those you pass on the street. And soon you'll even be able to offer them a cup of coffee. But first, a few grammar bits are coming up.
