Juan la escribe a María
Juan le escribe una carta

If you want to use both pronoun at the same time

but to avoid the cacophony of le la

le changes into se

Juan se la escribe

The same when using the imperative but after de verb

Dale el regalo
Dalo a mamá
Dáselo

As you see this se it's just the indirect object, it has nothing to do with the se reflexive

¡Xiurell, tú estás convirtiendote en mi ídolo ! Ni me acordaba de los objetos directos e indirectos y sus pronombres! Voy a tener que estudiar lengua de nuevo

¡Muchas Gracias!

De nada Mares

Siempre me gustó la lengua, pero como tenía mejores notas en ciencias, matemáticas, física, etc decidí coger el camino más fácil y hacer una carrera de ciencias, así pues acabé graduándome en económicas, y hace un año que empecé a trabajar como contable, ¡¡¡aburrido!!!

Que tengas una buena semana y feliz Nochebuena

Como decimos por aquí molts d'anys (muchos años)

A mi me gustaba todo, excepto un año que odié biología y otro que odié geografia, todo por los profesores, no me gustaban . Pero acostumbraba leer muchísmo. Eso sí, no me acuerdo haber visto con tanto detalle lengua ni en la primaria ni en la secundaria. Y apenas me acuerdo los nombres de algunos de los tiempos de conjugación . Al menos se puede escribir bien ignorando todos esos nombres de todas las cosas que hay en lengua jejeje. Pero de todos modos me gustaría pegar un repaso a todo y ver lo que no he llegado a ver en la escuela.

¡ Felices fiestas para tí también ! Besos

So, are "para de" and "deja de" interchangeable? If I wanna just say, "Stop it," would I say "Para," or "Déjalo"? I've heard some people say "¡Ya basta!" or just "¡Ya, ya!"

Muchas gracias a todos. Spanish pronouns give me more trouble than anything else in the language. I get more of a comprehensive learning experience on this forum than I ever had in the street or in school! I really appreciate it.

Oh yeah. Are there any cute Spanish nicknames a father would give his mischievous little girl?

... and how do you say, "Do you wanna get in trouble?" in Spanish?

... and how would she say, "Pick me up"?

... and do I say "Gracias de nuevo," or "Gracias otra vez"?

Yes, you could say them, for "stop it", you can say: "Para", "Déjalo", "Detente". "Ya basta" and "¡Ya, ya!" are a similar idea, but sound like the person who's saying it is a bit mad, angry or tired about (Not exactly really angry)...

I guess there are a lot, I heard "princesita", "Mi nenita", "linda"... let's ask to others spanish language speakers

... and how do you say, "Do you wanna get in trouble?" in Spanish?
Quieres meterte en problemas? / Quisieras meterte en problemas?

... and how would she say, "Pick me up"?
Récogeme.../Búscame ... / Pásame a buscar

... and do I say "Gracias de nuevo," or "Gracias otra vez"?[/QUOTE]
They are both good, and you're very welcome

Yes, "Buscar" is "look for" (Look for me -> Búscame). But "Búscame" is the short way for "Pásame a buscar". And you can say levántame as well.

i never knew that. now every time i hear someone say bucame i'll picture somebody picking up a grown man jaja

Diana, me parece que ella queria la traduccion de "levantame" o "llevame a upa" (upa es una palabra nuestra?)

Porque en ingles "pick me up" si puede significar "venime a buscar" pero supongo que ella la queria en el otro contexto, viendo que las otras frases tienen que ver con chicos.

I'm assuming you meant pick me up as in a little kid asking to be picked into their parents' arms...right?

If so, you can say "Llévame en brazos" which means "pick me up into your arms" or "Levántame" which is "pick/lift me up."

Thanks!

Yeah, she's a little girl. I taught her "levántate" when I want her to get up. When she wants me to pick her up, she raises her arms to me and says, "Daddy." So I say, "levántame," to teach her to say it when she wants to be picked up. It works, but I wasn't sure if there was something more appropriate.

The only nicknames I know would be appropriate for an attractive woman. I know I can say "mija" to my little girl, but I don't wanna call her nothin' else I know till I'm sure.

Thanks.

well, you can call your little girl:

pequeña = little girl
hermosa = beautiful
bebita = little baby
cariño= sweetie
conejita= little bunny (honey bunny)


edit: I remember more

princesa / princesita= princess / little princess
muñeca / muñequita= doll / little doll

ahh muchas gracias por lo de hermosa!! bueno yo soy 100% mexicana, asi que hablo Español.... Ingles, y estoy aprendiendo árabe y turco!!

árabe debe ser interesante. Pero ya tengo suficiente con la pronunciación terrible del alemán. Me imagino que el árabe debe de ser difícil en ese punto, sin contar el escribirlo.

El italiano es fácil de aprender para los que saben español, te lo recomiendo.

te contesto en el chit chat ok...
