💡 Grammar Points

The Command + Pronoun Rule

This word is the informal command 'trae' (bring) glued together with the object pronoun 'me' (to me/for me). This is common in Spanish commands.

Why the Accent Mark?

When you attach pronouns to an affirmative command, you must add a written accent (the tilde) to keep the stress on the original verb syllable: 'trae' becomes 'tráeme'.

❌ Common Pitfalls

Forgetting the Accent

Mistake: "Traeme la llave."

Correction: Tráeme la llave. (Without the accent, the stress shifts to the second syllable, sounding unnatural.)

Using it Formally

Mistake: "Señora Pérez, tráeme la carpeta."

Correction: Señora Pérez, tráigame la carpeta. (Use the 'usted' command form, 'traiga', when speaking formally.)

⭐ Usage Tips

Informal Use Only

Since 'tráeme' uses the 'tú' command form ('trae'), it should only be used with people you know well, like friends or family. For polite or formal situations, use 'tráigame'.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 'tráeme' one word or two?

It is one single word in Spanish. When you give a positive command (like 'bring!') and attach an object pronoun (like 'me'), they must be written together as one unit.

If I want to say 'Bring it to me,' where does 'it' go?

If 'it' is masculine (el libro), you would say 'Tráemelo' (Bring me it). If 'it' is feminine (la llave), you would say 'Tráemela' (Bring me it). The pronoun for 'it' also attaches to the end, making the word even longer!
