Conjugation of the verb decir to "di"

Question

I am reading a spanish and english bible. I have found where it translates say into "di". I do not find this in the decir conjugation table and cannot see how dar can be related to this especially since it is a command for the future, and di is the preterite for dar. Please help.

Thanks i missed it - awhala, Jan 30, 2012

Answer 1

It is the informal tú command.

Bottom right of the chart (imperative):

Answer 2

My new goal in life is to come up with a joke that takes advantage of "di" being both the preterite for dar and the imperative for decir
