How to Say "give you" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “give you” is “dele” — A2 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.

What is 'dele'?
It is a combination of 'dé' (the polite command form of the verb 'dar') and the little word 'le' (meaning 'to him', 'to her', or 'to you').
Pronoun Attachment
In Spanish, when you tell someone to do something (a command), you stick the person receiving the action ('le') directly onto the end of the verb.
The Missing Accent
Mistake: “Writing it as 'déle'.”
Correction: Write it as 'dele'. Even though the standalone command 'dé' has an accent, when you add 'le' to the end, the rules of Spanish spelling say the accent is no longer needed.
