Frequently Asked Questions
Can I say 'me la da' instead?
Yes, but only if you are making a statement like 'He gives it to me.' When you are giving a direct command to someone, the pronouns must be stuck to the end: 'Dámela'.
Why is there an accent on the 'a'?
Spanish rules say that if you add pronouns to a verb and it becomes three or more syllables, you usually need an accent to keep the original sound of the verb.
