Mañana ve qa nadar!!

You are going swimming tomorrow, a reference to my 4 year old child.

Thank you

Mañana ve qa nadar!!

Remove the Q and you will have a perfect imperative phrase:

"¡Mañana ve a nadar!" .... "Go swimming tomorrow!"

Thanks, Julian! Don't know why I didn't think of that! - Noetol, Oct 28, 2012
But you were on the right track with "ve" and a typo - 005faa61, Oct 28, 2012
Thanks for clearing this up, Julian. - rac1, Oct 29, 2012

"Ve" is a word that I can't find in the grammars at least as a part of "ir". I think I'd say either "Manaña vas a nadar", not perhaps ultimately grammatical but, I think, common usage or quizas "Manaña vayas a nadar" the imperative.

Look up the imperative of the ver ir. (Ve tú) (Vayamos nosotros) (Vayan Uds.) Remember the imperative does not include all pronouns. - francobollo, Oct 29, 2012

The "qa" may be a typo - at least I can't find that anywhere. I believe "¡Mañana ve que nadar!" Could work as a command, "you are going swimming tomorrow! (Whether you like it or not!)"

I could be off on this, though. Hopefully one of the native speakers will come in on this!

Mañana ve que nadar! This is just wrong. No command at all. - DualG, Oct 28, 2012
"Ve" is the tú form imperative of "ir". I don't know if that works in that phrasing, though. - Noetol, Oct 28, 2012
Thanks for trying Noetol, as Julian has stated, you were on the right track. Very good effort! - rac1, Oct 29, 2012
