'voya'? - samdie, ABR 5, 2010
should it have been voy a=i am going to - foysoy, ABR 5, 2010
Yes voy a makes sense, and is very useful. Voy a tomar cerbeza, etc. - Goyo, ABR 5, 2010

Mine is that old favourite "vale". It covers a multitude of sins.

Hmmm... Well since my vocabulary for spanish is very limited... I would say...

Cómo as in ¿Cómo estás?

Pues... I had thought that my Spanish had been more... Spanish until some time ago I happened to register at the local Cervantes library where there was a Spaniard behind the desk in the office. While trying to utter some Spanish oraciones I realised that the most useful Spanish word for me was... okay. I was laughing at myself aloud there... Maybe I shoulda cried but it wouldn't have changed anything, unfortunately. confused

Puedo - Necesito etc. Then I don't have to conjugate the next verb.

Hi Heidita,i thought voya is used as in i am going to. - foysoy, ABR 5, 2010
"Voy a" is two words. The structurre is voy + a + infinitive. For example, "voy a hablar." - --Mariana--, ABR 5, 2010
thanks sorry about the mistake. - foysoy, ABR 5, 2010

Mine is also 'cómo', because I use it in greetings, asking how to do something, and also asking someone to repeat something they've said.
