📚 Etymology▼
The verb 'dar' comes from the Latin verb *dare*, meaning 'to give.' The pronoun 'nos' comes from the Latin *nos*, meaning 'us.' They are combined here to form a single command.
First recorded: Both roots date back to the earliest forms of Spanish (Old Castilian).

Frequently Asked Questions
Why doesn't 'danos' have an accent mark, but 'dímelo' does?
Spanish only adds an accent mark to maintain the original stress when a pronoun is added. Since the single syllable command 'da' is already stressed, adding the two-syllable pronoun 'nos' still keeps the stress on the first syllable (DA-nos), following the natural rules of Spanish pronunciation, so no accent is needed.
How do I say 'Don't give us'?
For negative commands, the pronoun goes before the verb: 'No nos des' (tú form) or 'No nos dé' (usted form).
