How to Say ‘You didn't mention that to me’ in Mexican Spanish

Eso no me lo comentó

EH-soh noh meh loh koh-mehn-TOH

[EH-soh noh meh loh koh-mehn-TOH]

💬 Usage Tip: When me and lo both appear, me always comes first and both sit before the verb: me lo dijo "he told me it". comentar is a softer word for "mention" than decir.
