"Oírme" is the infinitive verb "oír" with the object pronoun "me" (me) attached directly to the end. This structure is used when the verb is not conjugated yet, often following another conjugated verb (e.g., *quiero oírme*).

Pronoun Placement Rule

You can also place the pronoun before the conjugated verb: *Me puedes oír* (You can hear me). Both ways are correct.

Alternative Placement

While 'oír' generally means the physical act of hearing, when used with 'me' (oírme), it often implies 'listening to me' or paying attention, similar to the more active verb 'escuchar'.

Hearing vs. Listening

Very common, especially in questions or requests related to communication.

Missing the 'me'

In this meaning, the 'me' indicates that the person doing the hearing is the same person being heard. The action reflects back onto the speaker.

Reflexive Action

Common in specific contexts, usually related to self-perception or recording.
