Siga or sigue

Question

If I want to say "follow your heart" as a command (more or less) but to no one in particular, would it be:

Siga tu corazón.

or

Sigue tu corazón.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Sigue a tu corazón.

---

Also, here is a song called "Sigue a tu corazón" (Lyrics)

Answer 2

I like the visual and the quote!

So what is the difference between using siga or sigue?

• "Siga" is used with "usted" (formal) - "Sigue" is used with "tú" (informal)... Also, if you were to use "siga" you must put "su corazón" instead of "tu corazón". - NikkiRivera Feb 22, 2012
• "siga a su corazón y su intuición..." - NikkiRivera Feb 22, 2012
• Sigues is tu form. - kenwilliams Feb 22, 2012
• Yes... but we are talking about the imperative. =) - NikkiRivera Feb 22, 2012

Answer 3

"Sigue a tu corazón"

• Yay, Vicente! :D - NikkiRivera Feb 22, 2012

Answer 4

I would say, neither...

Escucha a tu corazón.

You are not actually "following" anything.

• Well, You are not following anything when you say it in English either... =D - NikkiRivera Feb 22, 2012
• Tiny typo: "Escucha" ;) - Cordobesa Feb 22, 2012
• Thanks for pointing out the typo! :) - Tosh Feb 22, 2012
• You're welcome, Tosh :) - Cordobesa Feb 22, 2012

Answer 5

With "usted": "Siga a su corazón", but I don't like it for a tattoo. In this case, I would prefer the "tú" form: "Sigue a tu corazón", or, even better, the Tosh's suggestion: "Escucha a tu corazón".

I think "siga tu corazón", "sigue su corazón", "sigues el corazón" don't make sense.

Answer 6

"siga tu corazón" is correct and it can also be "sigue su corazón"

• Hmm... You have that backwards... - NikkiRivera Feb 22, 2012
• Would that be because it is functioning as a command? - thatxgrrrl Feb 22, 2012
• Both "siga" and "sigue" are in the imperative, but "sigue" with "tú" and "siga" with "usted" - NikkiRivera Feb 22, 2012
• The ones I told you in the comment section are commands. =) - NikkiRivera Feb 22, 2012
• Right. So if I was telling a friend to follow their heart, I could say it like this: - thatxgrrrl Feb 22, 2012

Answer 7

Sigue el corazón. or Escucha el corazón. Follow or listen to your heart. The object pronoun is always used when referring to body parts in Spanish, the congugation of the verb tells you who's body part it is.

Answer 8

I did a google search and found out that even self-claimed (as I cannot verify) native speakers could not agree whether it should be "Sigue a tu corazón" or "Sigue tu corazón". Now I cannot wait for someone to give a more conclusive explanation here.

• Corazón** :) - NikkiRivera Feb 22, 2012
• And, it should have "A"... I have confirmed it with more than one native. - NikkiRivera Feb 22, 2012
• Gracias por la corrección. - Jasmine101 Feb 22, 2012
• De nada :) - NikkiRivera Feb 22, 2012
