Command + Small Word

When you give an affirmative (positive) command in Spanish, you attach the small word (the pronoun) directly to the end of the verb. 'Bésame' is 'Besa' (the command form) + 'me' (the small word meaning 'me').

Why the Accent Mark?

The accent mark (tilde) over the 'e' in 'bésame' is necessary to keep the emphasis on the first syllable (BÉ-sa-me). Without it, the word would naturally stress the second-to-last syllable (be-SA-me), which would sound wrong.

Pronoun Placement Error

Mistake:Me besa.

Correction: Bésame.
