💡 Grammar Points
Command + Pronoun
'Deshaz' is the command form of 'undo', and 'te' is the word for 'you.' When you put them together, they become one word: 'deshazte'.
The Magic Word 'de'
When using this word to say 'get rid of SOMETHING,' you must always put the word 'de' after it. For example: 'Deshazte DE la caja'.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Missing the 'de'
Mistake: "Deshazte la basura."
Correction: Deshazte DE la basura. In Spanish, you always 'get rid of OF' something.
Misspelling the irregular form
Mistake: "Deshácete"
Correction: Deshazte. The core command is 'deshaz' (not deshace), so it keeps that short irregular form.
⭐ Usage Tips
It's informal!
Since this ends in '-te', use it with friends, family, or people your age. If you're talking to a boss or a stranger, use 'deshágase'.
