0:00.0	Imagine you, you in a nice comfy seat with your hands behind your head, taking in the views,
0:09.6	instead of taking on the road, maybe even taking a nap. That's the bliss of getting where you
0:15.5	need to go without worrying about driving. Book your train journey via avantiwascoast.co.uk
0:23.0	and we'll take you there. Avantiwascoast, feel good travel.
0:30.4	Welcome back to Coffee Break Spanish. Yo soy Marc. Me diamo Marc. My name is Marc and that's what we're
0:46.3	going to be learning about in today's episode. We're also going to be asking people for their names
0:52.2	and finding out where they're from. By using the question, de don de es or de don de eres. We'll find
0:59.2	what about that in the trip. So last time on Coffee Break Spanish, we were looking at how to

2:18.5	word we've been using already. So ito. Ito. But there's another word for you in Spanish. And this
2:26.7	word is ostev. Ostev. Ostev. Ostev. Ostev. Ostev. Ostev. That's it. Now the origins of this word
2:39.6	actually come from the phrase mostramachestad and mostramachestad literally means your majesty.
2:47.4	So hopefully that will help you remember that Ostev is used for formal situations or for people who
