How to Say "kill me" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “kill me” is “mátame” — B1 level.
Examples

If you're going to tell me the truth, just kill me now.
¡Ese vestido es increíble, mátame!
That dress is incredible, knock me dead!
Sticking words together
This word is a combination of 'mata' (the command for 'kill') and 'me' (the person receiving the action). In Spanish, when you tell someone you know well to do something, you attach the person word ('me', 'lo', 'la') directly to the end of the action word.
Why the accent mark?
Adding 'me' to the end of 'mata' changes where the sound naturally falls. We add the accent mark over the 'á' to make sure you still emphasize the 'MAH' sound, even though the word got longer.
