Learn Spanish (Latin America): Nosotros siempre cenamos temprano en el hotel. - We always have dinner early in the hotel.

The verb is cenar, which is a regular '-ar' verb meaning 'to have dinner'. When we talk about 'we' (nosotros), we drop the '-ar' ending and add '-amos'. So, cenar becomes cenamos.

In English, we say 'have dinner'. Why isn't there a word for 'have' in the Spanish sentence?

In Spanish, you don't need a separate verb for 'to have' when talking about meals. The single verb cenar means the whole action of 'to have dinner'. If you translated word-for-word and said tenemos cena, it would sound very unnatural.

Do I have to include the word nosotros in this sentence?

No, you can just say Siempre cenamos temprano en el hotel. Because the ending '-amos' in cenamos is only ever used for 'we', a Spanish speaker already knows who you are talking about. Including nosotros is optional and just adds a little emphasis.

How do I pronounce hotel in Spanish?

In Spanish, the letter 'h' is always silent. You pronounce it exactly like 'o-tel' without the 'h' breathing sound at the start.
