Putting the Pronoun First

This word is a combination of the informal command 'habla' (speak, directed at *tú*) and the pronoun 'me' (to me). In Spanish, when you give a positive command, the pronoun always sticks right onto the end of the verb.

A Command Built from Two Pieces

The accent mark on the 'á' (háblame) is mandatory! It tells you where to put the stress when you speak. If you didn't include it (*hablame*), the stress would fall on the second 'a', changing the sound and making it incorrect.

Why the Accent Mark is Essential

Since 'háblame' uses the informal *tú* command, only use it with friends, family, or children. For a formal request (like to a stranger or a superior), you must say *hábleme* (using the *usted* command form).

Formal vs. Informal

Extremely common way to give an informal command to someone, asking them to communicate with you.

Learn the meaning and correct usage of the Spanish command 'háblame' ('Talk to me' / 'Speak to me'). Understand its structure as the verb 'hablar' combined with the pronoun 'me', and master the formal equivalent 'hábleme'.
