To Have "A Way with Words"
Hello, I am trying to figure out how to tell a friend (from Spain) that he has "a way with words." I considered using "encantador," but that seems to have too much of a romantic connotation. Is there a colloquialism in any Hispanic country that has the same or similar meaning that I could use? Thank you!

One way would be: ¡Que facilidad de palabras tienes!
I like "tienes facilidad de palabras"or "tienes gran facilidad de palabras". Another we use but it could be only in our region or a bit informal is "piquito de oro". " Tienes el don de la palabra" could be another one. I would go with the first one .
"Me encanta tu facilidad del idiona" is not necessarily romantic, but does reflect your appreciation of his use of words. William F. Buckley Jr. (RIP) has the same effect on me. I love listening to his choice of words and his accent. I know people "who wish that he spoke English"

You could say:
1.Tienes mucha labia de palabras = You have a way with words
o ...
2.Tienes mucha facilidad de palabras = You have a way with words (literally: much ease)
There is a third option but I am not so sure about this one:
3.Tienes el don de la palabra = You have the gift with words.
I hope this helps
