Bonito

Question

How do do you tell a Senorita she is beautiful'

Answer 1

que hermosa/linda eres
eres muy hermosa/linda

Answer 2

Also synonymous others are used very much of hermosa like= bella, guapa, linda, preciosa, bonita, etc...

Answer 3

I agree with you both.

In Argentina when men talk about women it's common to say:
Es linda
Es hermosa
Es preciosa

and more informal between friends:
Está re buena

When a man addresses a woman and wants to tell her she's beautiful he says:
Sos hermosa (in Spain the verb is changed to "Eres hermosa")
Sos muy linda

Guapa, bonita or bella are not very much used in everyday language.

Hope it helps

Answer 4

Mogor
se puede usar apuesta'

Answer 5

No Eddy. Apuesto es un hombre (al menos en Argentina no se usa apuesta para la mujer)

Apuesta es "bet" "gamble" en español

Answer 6

En España tampoco diríamos "apuesta" para una mujer. Como dice Benz, suena como una partida de póker.

Answer 7

Addendum: in Spain, "Está buena" is used more with a sexual tone, and especially to refer to her body. Let's say it doesn't sound like a poetic compliment.

Answer 8

I guess this is connected. I remember this sentence from a mexican, who told it was often said as a compliment, maybe slang?
I don't remember correctly what it means - something nice about a girls face?

Chica carrita, está buen hecha.

Answer 9

I don't know the expression, but grammatically it should be "bien hecha", as adjectives cannot modify other adjectives, but adverbs can.

Answer 10

Ok - thank you for the grammatical knowledge

Answer 11

Only wanted to add some very colloquial ones:

estás que te mueres

estás que te sales

Answer 12

Gracias Benz y Lazarus
Ví la palabra apuesto en el diccionario, y pensando, como un inglés, solo tengo que cambiar la última letra para hecerlo feminina.
