How to Say "telling me" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “telling me” is “diciéndome” — A2 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples
Él está diciéndome la verdad.
He is telling me the truth.
Sigue diciéndome lo que pasó.
Keep telling me what happened.
¿Qué estás diciéndome exactamente?
What exactly are you saying to me?
Why the accent mark?
Normally, 'diciendo' doesn't have an accent. However, when we attach 'me' to the end, the word gets longer. To keep the stress on the same 'e' sound, we must add a written accent: diciéndome.
The '-ing' Ending
In Spanish, adding '-ando' or '-iendo' to a verb creates the equivalent of the English '-ing' form. Since 'decir' is irregular, it changes from 'e' to 'i' to become 'diciendo'.
Missing the Accent
Mistake: “diciendome”
Correction: diciéndome (because the word is stressed three syllables from the end).
