Traducir "To tell someone"
There was a posting "Tell your friend thank you for his blessing."
I wanted to learn and translate.. la respuesta y "dile" vieno arriba por el verbo. yo se decir significa to say or it can also mean tell I presume. Ayudame para entender como usar el verbo "Decir" mejor. Tambien hay otra palabra por el verbo "to tell"?

Good morning.
"Dile" (tell him/her) is the informal command form of "decir."
Specifically, "Di" is the command + "le" the indirect object (the person) = "Dile."
"No le digas." (don't tell him/her) is the informal negative command.
Does that answer your question?
Me dijo que me amaba. She told me that she loved me.
¿No te lo dije? I told you so!
He told me to go home. Me dijo que me fuera a casa .
Or you can use:
contar: tell me about it, cuéntamelo
¿prometes que no se lo vas a contar or decir a nadie?;
as well as
Hablar:
She's told me all about you
Me ha hablado mucho de ti; ![]()
Both of you helped Thanks
Tell him. Tell her. Tell them.
I got "dile, decirle, digales"
Have you seen our lessons yet? they are free and lots of fun, maybe you will give it a shot![]()
The commands can be found here.
Tell him. Tell her. Tell them.
I got "dile, decirle, digales" in that order. Is this the way you tell the gender of the pronoun?
"Dile" is tell him, her, it ("it" could be a dog, for example)....
"Diles" is tell them...."les" is plural
"Digale" is the polite form of tell him. her, it....
"Diagles" is the polite plural form of tell them...."les" is plural
You'd use the infinitive "decir" in something like this:
"No quiero decirle" (I don't want tell her, him, it....)
por favor, ayudame otra vez.
I practice by typing in expressions or thoughts to get some understanding of how to say things in spanish. There is more usage of the subjunctive in spanish than in english. So I wanted to see how to say.
Tell him. Tell her. Tell them.
I got "dile, decirle, digales" in that order. Is this the way you tell the gender of the pronoun? I know I should be going to school to learn but if you can still help
