What is the negative tú command form for "traer"? I only see one form listed on the conjugation chart, and don't know if it's the positive or the negative one. For that matter, can I have both please? I'm making a command chart to study.

Hi, Cathy.
I use the RAE for conjugations because I can trust it
I'd say:
Tráeme un café. (probably a very discourteous way to ask for something)
No me traigas un café.

"tráeme"... is one word - Tonyriva, Dec 1, 2010
Thanks, Tony! - --Mariana--, Dec 1, 2010
also... I've no idea why, but if it's negative I'd say "No me traigas café"... "un" sounds weird - Tonyriva, Dec 1, 2010
@Tony..cierto, pero técnicamente es correcto: "No me traigas un café, mejor tráeme una cerveza". - Gekkosan, Dec 1, 2010
sí...lo pensé después de irme "No me traigas un café, tráeme dos"... pero si es una sola frase suena raro - Tonyriva, Dec 1, 2010

Yes I agree with the above and you pronounce it "thry-may"

you can use both "Tráeme" or "trae"... "Tráeme" is "bring me", and "trae"... just "bring" - Tonyriva, Dec 1, 2010
