Frequently Asked Questions
Why does 'ayúdenme' have an accent mark?
The accent mark is needed because when you attach a pronoun like 'me' to the end of a command, the natural stress of the word might change. The accent (ú) ensures the word is still pronounced correctly, keeping the stress on the third-to-last syllable.
How do I make this command informal (asking friends)?
If you are addressing a group of friends in Latin America, you still use 'ayúdenme.' If you are in Spain and addressing friends, the informal plural command is 'ayudadme' (note the different verb ending and lack of accent).
