Por favor, llene este formulario
The English phrase "please fill out this form" is translated into Spanish as Por favor, llene este formulario.
This phrase is a polite request for someone to complete a document by providing the required information.
What does it mean word for word?
The verb llene comes from llenar, which literally means "to fill".
Which one should you use?
While llene is common, you may also see rellene (from rellenar), which is frequently used specifically for filling in blanks or completing a form.
How does it change in a sentence?
The verb form changes based on who you are addressing. The form llene is the formal imperative used with usted. If you are speaking to someone informally, you should use llena (the tú form). If you are addressing more than one person, you must use the plural form llenen.
Did you know?
- The word este in this phrase is a sibling to the English word 'east'. Both descend from the Proto-Indo-European root aus-, which relates to the dawn and the eastern horizon.
- In highly formal Spanish settings, the phrase might begin with Tenga la bondad de instead of Por favor. This translates literally to 'Have the goodness to', reflecting a deeper level of courtesy.
- Using the informal llena instead of the formal llene in a Latin American professional setting can be viewed as a sign of disrespect.
