Question about the Grammar section

Question

I have been looking at the Affirmative Informal Commands entry in the excellent SD Grammar section, and something seems not right. After saying that the tu command for decir is di, it translates 'Tell it to her!' as '¡Dígasela!' Am I right in thinking it should be '¡Dísela!'? or am I missing something?

I think you are right and the person writing it has written the used command. - Mardle, Oct 31, 2015

Do you remember the device for irregular commands that I posted last year(?): http://www.spanishdict.com/answers/253692/say-vin-diesel-has-ten-weapons (copy and paste that address to read it) This was a good post you made! - Jubilado, Oct 31, 2015

Answer 1

"Dígasela" is a formal (Ud.) command. Dísela would be the informal (tú) command.

Now the negatives would be respectively "No se la digas" and "No se la diga."

¿Vale? And don't forget that the "her" part is the "se" I don't know what the "la" refers to,

I would replace "la" with "lo" unless "la" refers to something definitely feminine like "la verdad."

You have a sharp eye. Maybe you should report it to Paralee. She is the teacher on the SD Spanish learning program. You can find her among the other users.

Thanks Dani. - jennysk, Oct 31, 2015

Paralee is no longer here actively. - rac1, Oct 31, 2015

"Vale"! Does that take me back to our family trip to Spain! I heard "vale" about 300 times a day. ;-) - Winkfish, Nov 1, 2015

I only say it about 100 times a day. :) - Daniela2041, Nov 1, 2015

Vale, Claro? 150 times a day? - annierats, Nov 1, 2015
