Steps
Step 1. The adjective "beautiful" can be translated in various ways in Spanish and, as with Italian, it can refer to several things:
to time, to a dress, to a panorama … Here are some examples:
- Mujer bonita, "beautiful woman".
- Gato bonito, "cute cat".
- El jardín es hermoso, “the garden is beautiful”.
- El verano es bello, “what a beautiful summer”.
- ¡Qué casa preciosa !, “what a splendid house!”.
- San Francisco es una ciudad bonita, “San Francisco is a beautiful city”.
- El bosque es muy bonito, “the forest is very beautiful”.
Step 2. How to tell a woman that she is beautiful?
-
- Estás bella, “you are beautiful / you are well”.
- Estás bonita, “you are beautiful / you are well”.
- Estás guapa, "you look attractive".
- Estás hermosa, “you look great”.
- Estás linda, “you look great”.
- Eres bonita, "you are beautiful".
- Eres guapa, "you are beautiful".
- Eres hermosa, "you are beautiful".

"translates as" ¡qué bien! "or" ¡qué bueno! ".
The adjective "guapo" refers only to people, not to things
Advice
- The adjective "guapo" is more used in Spain. In Argentina, for example, it has another meaning (it can be translated as "willing" or "courageous"). Outside Spain, more "neat" than "guapo" is used to define a person of good looks.
- In Spanish, the double "l" is pronounced as a kind of "gl".
- The "h" is silent, as in Italian.
- If you want to say a more complex sentence, you can say “Ah, qué bello / bella que eres”, which translates as “Oh, how beautiful / beautiful you are”.
