The 'Yo' Form of 'Decir'
'Digo' is the 'I' form of the verb 'decir' (to say/tell) in the present. Notice how the 'c' changes to a 'g'. This 'go' ending for the 'yo' form is common in other important verbs like 'hago' (I do) and 'tengo' (I have).
'Digo' vs. 'Hablo'
Mistake: “Using 'digo' to mean 'I speak (a language)'. For example: 'Digo español.'”
Correction: Use 'hablo' for speaking a language: 'Hablo español.' Use 'digo' for saying specific words or telling information: 'Digo la verdad' (I tell the truth).
