SCENARIO
Imagine
you are calling someone on the phone.
A relative, a friend or a colleague who is with you is curious and
says:
"who
are you calling?"
In
Spanish, the other person could choose to be less formal and say:
¿A
quién llamas?
Alternatively,
he/ she could choose to be more formal and say:
¿A
quién llama (usted)?
OUR
TIP
Responding should
be quite straightforward. However, before you reply, you should
decide how you are going to refer to the person you are calling*.
If the person you
are calling is a male (his name is Pedro Botero) and you
want to refer to him in an informal manner, you could say:
- Llamo a Pedro Botero (I am calling Pedro Botero);
- Estoy llamando a Pedro Botero (I am calling Pedro Botero);
- Llamo a mi amigo Pedro Botero (I am calling my friend Pedro Botero);
- Estoy llamando a mi amigo Pedro Botero (I am calling my friend Pedro Botero);
*
NB See examples of replies when calling:
Now
you should practise answering the question:
¿A
quién llamas?
