How to say you’re in a hurry in Spanish

surely find useful: How to tell others you're in a hurry.

First, the key word:

*Prisa (pree-sah) - hurry, rush, haste

Now, here are some ways to say you're in a hurry:

Tengo prisa - I'm in a hurry

Ando con prisa - I'm in a hurry (Literally, 'I walk in a hurry.')

*Use this when you meet a person you know in a place, but you can't stay to talk for too long.

If you want to say it like an excuse:

Es que tengo prisa - It's just that I'm in a hurry

*You can also add the word mucha (much, many) to these expressions, to say that you're really in a hurry:

Tengo mucha prisa - I'm really in a hurry/I'm in a real hurry

Es que tengo mucha prisa - It's just that I'm really in a hurry.

Now, how to tell others to hurry up:

Date prisa - Hurry up

Avanza - Hurry

No te tardes - Don't take long

*To make it more polite, add Por favor - Please

*You can add it before or after:

Por favor date prisa - please hurry up

Avanza, por favor - Please hurry

No te tardes, por favor - Don't take long, please

*To make this last one more polite or respectful (if you're talking to a stranger or someone older than you, for example, you say) say it this way: No se tarde/No tarde.
