How do you say from in Spanish?

Astrid85M
I'm trying to have a conversation with my friend who's visiting from Spain, but I want to address him properly. My girlfriend told me that I should use the formal "señor" until he tells me otherwise, but she didn't explain how to say his title if he has one. Does anyone know how to say "from" or "friend from Spain" in Spanish? I want to be respectful and make a good impression.

The Spanish phrase for 'from' is "de". To address a friend from Spain, you can use the title and surname combination followed by 'de' or simply the informal "amigo desde allá", which roughly translates to 'friend from there'. For example: "Hola, Él amigo desde allá". This will show that you respect his title and his Spanish origin.

A common way to say 'friend from Spain' in Spanish is 'amigo de España', but you can also use 'compañero de viaje' if you're talking about a traveling companion, or simply 'de España' if you want to focus on his hometown.

If you want to address a friend from Spain, you can use the formal title 'señor' followed by his first and last name, like 'Señor Carlos García'. To say 'from in Spanish', you can simply say 'de' which means 'from'. So, a common way to greet your friend would be 'Hola Señor Carlos, bienvenido a mi hogar'. Alternatively, you can use 'buenas tardes' or 'buena noche' depending on the time of day. Another option is to use the phrase 'hola amigo de España', which is a friendly way to address him.

From in Spanish can be translated to different expressions depending on the context. As a title of respect, you can use "señor" followed by the person's last name. If you're referring to the origin or nationality, "de" is used before the country's name: De España. For a more informal greeting, you can use "amigo de España", which literally translates to friend from Spain.

Señor, desde à partir de áliento o destino de tu viaje en España, podría ser un saludo educado y formal. También puedes decirle que has recibido una visita desde el lugar donde vive. En este sentido, la frase "de donde eres" es adecuada, mientras que para expresar amistad o relación personal, podrías usar el término "amigo de áltulo destino o ciudad enEspaña", si se hace con una intención más informal. Por otro lado, si estás tratando a alguien con respeto y formalidad durante su estancia, puedes decirle que ha llegado desde el país del amigo actual.
