How to Say "i warn" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “i warn” is “advierto” — A2 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.

The 'I' Form Irregularity
The verb advertir (to warn) is irregular. When you say 'I warn' (yo), the 'e' in the middle changes to 'ie', giving you 'advierto'.
Using 'Advierto' with 'Que'
You often follow 'advierto' with the word 'que' (that) to introduce the thing you are warning about, like 'Advierto que el jefe está de mal humor' (I warn you that the boss is in a bad mood).
Forgetting the Stem Change
Mistake: “Yo adverto”
Correction: Yo advierto. Remember that the 'e' changes to 'ie' in most present tense forms, including 'yo'.
