It seems that it can sometimes be fun to use a different language when you want to say something to other people. This time, you may want to say “Shut up” but in Spanish.

These are the things that you can do:

• Shut up in Spanish is “Callate.”

• Take note that there are different translations of this depending on how you are going to use it.

• If you are going to use it as a verb, you will use the word “callar.”

• If you would like to use a phrase, you are going to use “callarse.”

• If you want to say that you are going to turn something off or close something, you are going to use “cerrar.”

Shut up may not be considered a very nice phrase to say to someone; however, nothing gets across the point better than a resounding shut-up. It is also stated in Spanish a few different ways. “callate” is the literal translation of shut up in Spanish.

The word is pronounced “ka-ya-tay.” You could say “callate por favor,” which means please shut-up. Even though the please comes in front of shut-up, it still sounds a bit harsh and insensitive.

• You might also try, “Que te calles,” which means, “I told you to shut up.”

• Of course, there are more polite ways to say the same thing. For example, instead of telling others to shut-up, you could take a softer approach and request silence instead.

• “Silencio” means silence. “Guarde Silencio means keep silent.

• “Haga Silencio means be quiet.

• You could even take a more forceful approach and say, “Cierralaboca.”

• This version means shut your trap.

• “Cierra el pico” means shut your mouth trap.
