Asking for Help with Your Luggage

You need a hand with heavy bags at a hotel, bus station, or airport.

You
Disculpe, ¿me puede ayudar con las maletas? Son muy pesadas.
dees-KOOL-peh, meh PWEH-deh ah-yoo-DAR kohn lahs mah-LEH-tahs? sohn mooy peh-SAH-dahs
Excuse me, can you help me with the suitcases? They're very heavy.
"Pesadas" uses the feminine ending to agree with "maletas." If referring to a masculine noun, you'd say "pesados."
Staff
Claro que sí. ¿Cuántas maletas tiene?
KLAH-roh keh SEE. KWAHN-tahs mah-LEH-tahs TYEH-neh?
Of course. How many suitcases do you have?
You
Tengo tres. Esa grande es la más pesada. Muchas gracias, por favor tenga cuidado.
TEHN-goh trehs. EH-sah GRAHN-deh ehs lah mahs peh-SAH-dah. MOO-chahs GRAH-syahs, pohr fah-BOHR TEHN-gah kwee-DAH-doh
I have three. That big one is the heaviest. Thank you very much, please be careful.
"Tenga cuidado" is a polite way to say "be careful." It's appreciated rather than seen as bossy.
Staff
No se preocupe, yo me encargo. Las llevo a su habitación.
noh seh preh-oh-KOO-peh, yoh meh ehn-KAR-goh. lahs YEH-boh ah soo ah-bee-tah-SYOHN
Don't worry, I'll take care of it. I'll take them to your room.
It's customary to tip hotel porters in Latin America — usually the equivalent of one to two US dollars.
