How to Make Commands in Spanish | The Language Tutor *Lesson 54*

[@winterwolf0100]

For the irregulars, my profesora has always said “Ven-di-sal haz ten vé-pon-sé” like Ven Diesel has ten weapons. It’s helped me remember!

Very nice presentation. A relaxed teaching style. Thanks for helping me out.

[@bethbailey6497]

Struggling to become fluent Spanish, but you have made some things very clear. I work in a Spanish Immersion classroom (first grade), but am not required to know Spanish. I know basic things and say as much as I know how to say. This is really helping me with some things I have struggled with and so much makes sense. I still overthink everything, so I will need to absorb this several times. Thank you for making these videos. I am enjoying them.

[@TheLanguageTutor]

Keep at it Beth!! You'll see the progression.

[@adieodds]

Thank you so much for making these videos. You show the world that it´s not necessary to spend long hours to master a topic/tense. And your videos are much more understandable than any other teachers. I take notes from your videos and create charts on excel, and use the words and tenses I learned from your lessons in "my diary" to practice them day by day. People! the best way to master a language is to use them in your daily conversations or writing your thoughts down. That way you learn how to use what you actually use. Best output to your input. Thanks again!

[@eastwind3550]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[@colleen9436]

Danny, I love your lessons. I’m hoping you will help me with my question. In one of the examples you used tráigamelo as a formal command, meaning bring it to me. But I would have thought that it should have been tráemelo. Both seem to translate to the same meaning! So, I’m confused why you used the 1st person singular form of the verb, rather than the 3rd person singular. Thanks, Colleen

[@nikkildillon4354]

Same here...🤔

[@leiximona]

Same big question here.

[@babubhaiparekh]

Nice.thank you ❤🎉

[@TheLanguageTutor]

You're welcome 😊

[@daniellesagang1037]

Thank you!

[@cbsteffen]

Notice that the affirmative tú command “equals” the third person singular form of the present indicative for regular verbs and that the negative tú command and all other commands whether affirmative or negative are the same as their present subjunctive forms. I think that’s because the present indicative is the actual present tense and commanding second person singular means you want such a person you feel familiar enough with to make whatever action a reality while negative commands mean telling someone or a group of people not to make something a reality and all other commands need to sound polite when you have to be formal towards any elder(s) or whomever you do not know personally, and subjunctive does not typically mean reality and is sometimes the more polite way to command tú as in saying “Quiero que (tú)…”

[@danieldebrun5795]

Great video man it was so helpful. There was just one thing I got a bit stuck on though, if you were to make a command in the Tú form with 'your' in it, would you use 'tu' or 'su'? For example, would you say 'come TU cena' or 'come SU cena'

[@TheLanguageTutor]

Good question. You would typically say "tu" but if you're talking to someone that you would want to show more respect to, you would say "su." Does that help?

[@craigbratten3453]

Should the irregular informal command ir-vé have an accent or should it simply be ir-ve without an accent on the e?

[@mathematix-rodcast]

Yeah, I was wondering if anyone was going to ask this question. The irregular informal commands are monosyllabic (one syllable). So there are no other syllables to emphasize. So the accent is pointless and unused unless there is another monosyllabic word spelled identically. In the case of a monosyllabic word spelled identically, one of the two words will take an accent as an orthographic (spelling) convention to distinguish the one monosyllabic from the other. In the case of sé versus se, se always takes the accent when it is a verb as in so lo sé or Sé sincero. www.wordreference.com/conj/ESverbs.aspx?v=ir The link to WordReference's verb index is posted above and will open to the verb ir. Ve does not take an accent. The verb ver has a conjugation of ve too and its command is also ve as the affirmative informal command, which is identical in spelling to the informal affirmative ir command but paradoxically and unexpectedly, neither one is accentuated. www.wordreference.com/conj/ESverbs.aspx?v=ver. So, this is the exception to the rule but to answer your question simply, no, ve never takes an accent whether it is an affirmative command of the verbs ir or ver. So, in this case, it was a typographic error in his video. It happens and good catch on your part.. Good luck on your language learning journey! Enjoy the ride! It is a great language.

[@venmidori]

Thanks for this lesson. Is it ok to say por favor at the end? If it is which is better, to include "por favor" at the end or not? Thanks again!

[@eziola]

Is it a good rule of thumb to say that in command forms (all of tú, usted, affirmative, and negative) that all of them have "flipped endings" except the affirmative tú? Affirmative tú: El / Ella / Usted Not Flipped Ending Negative tú: Flipped Ending Affirmative usted: Flipped Ending Negative usted: Flipped Ending yeah?

[@janicebarrow6725]
