You plan to go on vacation soon padel in Spain but you were the type of person who slept in the back of the class during high school Spanish lessons? A Spanish speaker offers you a game but you hesitate because you did German as a second language? This post is made for you!

As we have already mentioned in the past, the field communication padel is fundamental. You have integrated it well and know how to give the right information to your partner… in French. But what if he only speaks Spanish? Here are the words and expressions that you will need to memorize to express yourself as well as a football player. World Padel Tour ! Let's start with the elements specific to the game of padel.

  • The land: "The pista"
  • The line: "The line"
  • The grid: "The reja"
  • The window: "El cristal"
  • The net: "The red"
  • The band: "The cinta"
  • The racket: "The pala"
  • A lob: "A globo"
  • A smash: "A remate"
  • A cushioning: “Una dejada"
  • Take out the ball by three / four: "Sacar the bola por tres / por cuatro"
  • The fly: "The volea"
  • Left / right player: “Jugador (a) de revés / de derecha”
  • Serve / Return: "Sacar" / "Restar"
  • Forehand / Revers: "Golpe de derecha" / "Dream Golpe"
  • Window return: “Bajada sorry”

Now let's look at the expressions that will allow you to inform your partner during a point.

  • The two players at the bottom: "Atrás los (las) dos" or "Nadie" (to say that there is nobody at the net)
  • The (a) mine at the bottom / your at the bottom: "Atrás el (la) mío (mía)" / "Atrás el (la) tuyo (a)"
  • Both come up: "Suben los dos"
  • Mine goes up / yours goes up: "Sube el mío" / "Sube el tuyo"
  • Both at the net: "Los dos en la red"
  • Mine at the net / yours at the net: "El mío en la red" / "El tuyo en la red"
  • Both glued to the net: “Los dos pegados”
  • Mine glued to the net / yours stuck to the net: "El mío pegado" / "El tuyo pegado"
  • To me / to you: "Voy" / "Tù"
  • Go out: "¡Sal!"
  • To encourage his partner to go for a cushion: “¡Sigue!”
  • To tell his partner to smash to finish: "¡Dale!"

And of course if you want to have a drink at the end of the game with your partners, you can for example say "una botella de agua por favor" 😉
