Question

Question: ¿Pido un postre?(no) my answer: No, no lo pides.

is that correct?i am to be answering that question in the negative tú form for my spanish 2 class in high school(its homework) :]

Answer 1

If you are asking if you are allowed to have dessert, then the correct negative answer is: No, no lo pidas

May I have/ask for a dessert?, No, do not do it, cause we are already late.

¿Puedo pedir un postre?, No, no lo pidas porque ya se nos hizo tarde.

Answer 2

It depends. Are you trying to answer, "You´re not asking for dessert?" or "Don´t ask for dessert!" ?

What you wrote is in the imperative (order) form. If you just want to say "You´re not asking.." then you need the present tense, pides.

In any case, postre is masculine, so the direct object pronoun is "lo".
