💡 Grammar Points
Why the 'te' is at the end
When you give a positive command to someone you know well, you attach words like 'te' (which means 'yourself') directly to the end of the verb.
The special spelling
The original verb is 'vestir,' but the 'e' changes to 'i' when we tell someone to do it. This is a common pattern in many Spanish 'ir' verbs.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Forget the accent
Mistake: "vistete"
Correction: vístete
⭐ Usage Tips
Use it for 'putting on clothes'
Vístete refers to the whole process of getting dressed. If you just want someone to put on a specific item (like a hat), you'd use 'ponte' instead.
