💡 Grammar Points
The attached 'te'
The word 'te' is stuck to the end because it is a command. It shows that you are the one performing the action of 'marrying yourself' to someone else.
Why the accent mark?
When we add 'te' to the word 'casa,' we have to add an accent mark (á) to keep the stress on the same part of the word: KAH-sah-teh.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Missing the accent
Mistake: "casate"
Correction: cásate
Wrong 'you' form
Mistake: "cásate conmigo (to a boss)"
Correction: cásese conmigo (to show respect)
⭐ Usage Tips
