Decirlo

Whenever you are telling something to someone else, Spanish always adds “it” as a subject. In English, this is commonly left out. Tell me now, or tell it to me now!

Sentence info.

“Dímelo ahora, por favor” is a Spanish phrase composed as follows:

– “Dímelo” is a direct command that means “Tell it to me” or “Say it to me.” This is formed by the imperative form of the verb “decir” (to say/tell) for the tú (informal ‘you’) which is “di,” combined with the direct object pronouns “me” (to me) and “lo” (it). When object pronouns are used with commands in Spanish, they are attached to the end of the verb to form a single word.
– “Ahora” means “now.”
– “Por favor” translates to “please.”

To remember it, think of “Decir” (to say): take the tú imperative “di,” add the object pronouns in the order of the person and then the thing (first “me,” then “it” as “lo”), resulting in “dímelo.” Then simply add “ahora” and “por favor” for politeness and immediacy.

Here are some alternate ways to say “Tell it to me now, please” in Spanish:

1. Cuéntamelo ahora, por favor (using “contar” instead of “decir” for a slight nuance change – more like “narrate” or “recount”).
2. Dime ahora, por favor (dropping the “it,” implied by context).
3. Háblame ahora, por favor (using “hablar” to mean “speak to me”).
4. Informame ahora, por favor (using “informar” for “inform”).
