When learning Spanish as a foreign language it’s quite common you don’t know every single phrase, word or expression for every situation. No matter your level of Spanish, it’s ok not knowing all. No sé or I don’t know is a fixed expression that will help you a lot when in a Spanish speaking country or while holding a conversation with Spanish speaking friends. Sé comes from the verb saber or to know. It matches the 1st person singular.
If you are unsure or uncertain in a Spanish conversation, simply use No sé to show you don’t know how to say a word in particular, if you don’t know how to express yourself properly or if you simply don’t have the necessary information. Learning Spanish is a long process which requires some time and practice. Nobody will expect you to speak fluently in a couple of weeks or be familiar with every word from the dictionary.
Since there are thousands of words you won’t learn in the near future, simply say No sé to show your lack of understanding. Nobody will judge you. It’s better to say No sé instead of making up new words in a language you are trying to acquire. People will help you out, so by simply saying No sé you will learn new phrases from the other speakers on the spur of the moment.
