Can I ask a question? Do I have to wait for my turn?

Yes, of course you can ask a question. And, no, you don't have to wait your turn Just ask. This goes for everybody. Where do you get the patience to actually WAIT for someone to read your question to answer it? :O

[*Mahzala*]

Qrratu, us in Aussieland have to patience either way (I haven't said Qrratu in a while now =()

Yaa warrho! If you just wanna know how to say X and Y in Spanish, just go to Google Translate. We're moving too fast, too ahead. I'm not sure if we can learn a language that way, without knowing its basics. No?

[Badlun]

How to say,

"Life is boring, But I am pretty good and yourself?"

La vida es aburrida, pero estoy bastante bien y para ti?

[Badlun]

How do I say.

Life sucks

vida es una mierda

Ok can someone post the basics of Spanish.

The first lesson is too advanced. A level lowe than that please.

[Roshina]

The vocab, Osho will take care of, but here's a start on the Verbs. (I haven't spoken/read/written Spanish in ages, so I won't go into intricate details.)

Present tense of the verb SER (to be) (NOTE: There's another verb in Spanish that also means "to be," and Osho will explain when you use which one and why -- because they're not the same.)

Yo soy (I am)
Tú eres (You are)
Él es (He is )
Ella es (She is)
Nosotros somos (We are)
Vosotros sois (You are)
Ellos son (They are)

(I pasted that from a website. I didn't wanna have to go through the accent mark, you see.)

So, that's the start. For now, fully absorb this, and then we'll move on.

[Roshina]

can you tell us what the red and blue stands for?

Oh! The blue ones are singular; the red are plural. Don't worry - there's nothing significant about it.

[Badlun]

Awesomento, Chino!

Let's now move on to full sentences using the above verbs (and pronouns).

In Spanish, like many other languages, adjectives are gendered. If you're gonna be referring to a female, you'll have to use a feminine adjective; if to a male, a masculine adjective. Most adjectives end in o by default, but you replace the o with an a to make it feminine. (Example: Bajo (short, masculine) and baja (short, fem.)

To make them plural, you add an s or an es, depending. (Example: bajos ("short," plural) or fáciles ("easy," both masc. and fem. and plural)

Now let's form sentences with some adjectives.

Yo soy Qrratugai. I am Qrratugai.
¿Tú eres Chino, verdad? You are Chino, right?
Ella es AfghanPrincess. She is AfghanPrincess.
Él es KarachiPashtun. He is KarachiPashtun.

And so on.

One thing to remember is that in Spanish, you don't really need to have the pronoun in your sentences because it's already understood who you are talking about. For instance, soy means "I am." When you say, Soy una chica (I am a girl), we know that it cannot mean "She is a girl," or "They are girls." it can only mean *I am* because of soy.

Él, however, can mean both "he" or "it" (masculine). And ella doesn't just mean "she" but "it" (feminine) as well.

Another important thing to bear in mind when learning Spanish is that just like in Pashto and Urdu, Spanish has a different pronoun for "you." One "you" is for elders/adults/professionals/people you are to respect; another "you" is for your friends, people younger than you, people around your age, or just people you're cool with.

The first one is usted (it's called the formal pronoun); the second one is tú (it's called the familiar pronoun).

Let's go on to the basic, introductory phrases/statements, like "Where are you from?" and "My name is."

De is a preposition that means "from."

¿De donde eres tú? Where are you from? (donde = from)
Soy de Swat. I am from Swat.

¿De donde son tús padres? Where are your parents from?
(Note the plurals. We used a plural verb for "are," since we're talking about parents.)

Mis padres son de Peshawar. My parents are from Peshawar.
(Here again, note the plurals.)

¿Cómo te llamas tú? What is your name? (Literally, "What are you called?")
Me llamo Qrratugai. My name is Qrratugai. (Literally, "I am called Qrratugai.")

You can ALSO say, however, Mi nombre es Qrratugai. My name is Qrratugai -- literally (mi = my; nombre = name; es = is)

I hope that's enough for today . . . I'll see what else to move on to next after you've studied this.

Oops! Sorry, I didn't see this, haha. So I explained the whole plural/singular deal in Spanish and provided a few complete sentences with the verbs/pronouns in the previous posts.
