Did you sleep well?

Question

How do you ask "Did you sleep well (last night)?" in Spanish. I was asked by a latino friend that question. It sounds something like "almo......". I looked up the Spanish dictionary and found that pillow is "almohada". Could any one help me figure out what is the word(s) that my friend used?

Answer 1

Hi, Brandon. Welcome to the forum.

I think your friend was probably saying "¿Amaneciste bien?" This comes from the verb "amanecer."

You can also say:

"¿Dormiste bien?" (informal)

"¿Dormió bien?" (formal)

Answer 2

Marianne, thanks. I think it is "¿Amaneciste bien?" . Others' answers are useful too. ¡Gracias a todos!

Answer 3

¿cómo amaneciste? -> how did you sleep? (Am)

Found in the dictionary, under amanecer.

Answer 4

Well, I have to admit I am puzzled by how the words you heard sounded like almo since the verb usually used to sleep (well/badly) is dormir

Did you sleep well last night? (familiar form for a friend/family member, child someone you know)

= ¿Dormiste bien, anoche?

= ¿Has dormido bien, anoche?

I wonder if you might also have heard the verb ascostar (instead of almohado) = to go to bed/lie down.

I hope this helps

Answer 5

¿Dormiste bien anoche?

He may, indeed, have used some idiom involving almohada, though, I don't know what it is. Did you try searching the phrasebook with the keyword almohada?
