I couldn't see it in dictionaries. So can anyone help me about the meaning of this compound? And i wonder if does native Spanish speakers use it?

Your last sentence should be ,I wonder if, or do Spanish speakers .... I don't know if it is a typing mistake or if English is not your first language. I am only correcting as English learners use the site too. Welcome - Mardle, Aug 9, 2017

I've confused you. If you add if you can remove does. If you don't add if you need to change does to do. I have now seen your other posts and clearly it was a typing error or being too quick. - Mardle, Aug 9, 2017

Answer 1

I am not certain without context. There is a verb dar meaning to give and there is also darse Which is reflexive and has a slightly different meaning.

Me can be a direct or indirect object. They can be tacked on/added to the end of the infinitive. The order is indirect then direct,lo/la are direct objects meaning it or him,her you. La is her of it for a feminine object.

So that the stress is correct a tilde is added to the first syllable in the 'new' word.

I'm more used to dámelo which is what a mother would say to a child meaning give me it being the informal Tu command + me and lo.

There are lots of expressions using darse - darse cuenta de is the best known meaning to realise.

Indirect and direct object pronouns

Answer 2

"Dármela" is "to give it to me". It has to be part of a larger sentence. The "la" refers to a feminine noun.

"Ella se negó a dármela."="She refused to give it to me (give me it)". The accent is there because otherwise it would be pronounced darMEla.

That is what I meant when asking for context - it doesn't work properly as a phrase on its own. - Mardle, Aug 9, 2017

Answer 3

No tienes que dármela : You don't have to give it to me. It comes from the verb "dar" - to give.

Dar -me-la. In this type of construction, the pronouns are attached after to the verb in the infinitive.

Answer 4

I think it means 'give her' from the verb 'dar' but I am not sure

It must be something like "give me it" by "dar-me-la" but I'm not sure at all. - 00c04373, Aug 9, 2017

Give it to me - so "Give me it" is technically correct. - ian-hill, Aug 9, 2017
