What form of the verb 'decir' is 'dile?' I just came across it and couldn't find it on the conjugation page.

Thanks!

Good question.

Di = tú command form

Le = to him (her, it, usted) The indirect object

Combine the command with the indirect object and you get "Dile" which means "Tell him (her, etc.)."

Tell him/her.smile Di is the 2nd person imperative form of decir, and le is the indirect object referring to either him or her.
