Today we’ll address a nice phrase you can fit in different contexts.

Tal cual is a phrase use to express agreement when someone really gets the point of what we are saying or when you want to express that what the other person is saying makes total sense to you.

For example, if someone describes a situation or shares an opinion that resonates with you, you might respond with TAL CUAL to convey that you share the same perspective or sentiment.

-Lo más difícil de trabajar remoto es cuando necesitás que alguien te responda rápido y perdés un montón de tiempo esperando.
-Tal cual, en mi laburo me pasa eso casi todos los días.

Similarly, when someone accurately summarizes your thoughts or feelings, you can affirm their understanding by simply saying TAL CUAL.

-Lo difícil de vivir en Argentina y no hablar español es que es mucho más difícil conocer gente.
-Sí, tal cual, es un re bajón.

Next time you feel tempted to answer simply “sí”, see if tal cual can join the fun.
