We have already learned that tener is used in various expressions in Spanish - two of
the most common being (1) to express age and (2) to express a sense of obligation.
Tener used instead of ser or estar.
As you know, there are two verbs in Spanish which mean “to be” – ser and estar. The
verb tener, although it means “to have,” can also be translated as a form of the verb to
be. We already know, for instance, that in expressing age (I am 15, you are 25, he is
40), Spanish uses the verb tener instead of ser. Some other expressions using tener to
express a form of the verb to be are listed below.
Tener hambre To be hungry Tengo hambre.* I’m hungry.
Tener sed To be thirsty Tengo sed.* I’m thirsty.
Tener sueño To be sleepy Ella tiene sueño.* She’s sleepy.
Tener calor To be hot ¿Tienes calor? Are you hot?
Tener frío To be cold No, tengo frío. No, I’m cold.
Tener suerte To be lucky Ellas tienen suerte. They are lucky.
Tener celos To be jealous Él tiene celos. He is jealous.
Tener razón To be right Tengo razón. I’m right.
No tener razón To be wrong No, tú no tienes razón. No, you are wrong.
Tener prisa To be in a hurry Nosotros tenemos prisa. We are in a hurry.
Tener miedo To be afraid El niño tiene miedo. The boy is afraid.
Tener vergüenza To be ashamed ¿No tienes vergüenza? Aren’t you ashamed?
Tener éxito To be successful Él tiene éxito. He is successful.
Tener la culpa To be to blame Ellos tienen la culpa They are to blame.
*The literal meaning would be “I have hunger, thirst, sleep, etc,” but English uses the verb to
be.
