How do you say...? in Spanish?
A few people have queried how you say ‘how do you say?’ in Spanish. Well, here is your answer: ¿cómo se dice?
Note that the pronunciation changes depending whether you are in Spain or in South America, which is why I have included both. In Spain the ‘c’ in dice sounds like the ‘th’ in ‘thin’, and in South Amercia the ‘c’ sounds like a hard ‘s’ (think of the English word ace).
