No molestas.

noh moh-LES-tahs

You're not bothering me.

💬 Spanish often leaves out pronouns, so [No molestas] already means 'you're not bothering me' without saying [tú]. You'll hear this a lot with verb endings that make the subject clear.

Dime.

DEE-meh

Go ahead.

🇪🇸 At a bar, [dime] often means 'go ahead' or 'tell me,' not literally 'tell me.' It's casual and friendly, and can sound more open than a direct yes/no reply.

🤲

Quería.

keh-REE-ah

I wanted to.

💬 [Quería] literally means 'I wanted,' but it's often used to sound softer and less abrupt than [quiero]. The same trick works in [quería preguntarte una cosa].

💬

Decirte.

deh-SEER-teh

To tell you.

💬 When [te] attaches to the end of the verb, as in [decirte], it means 'to tell you.' You'll see the same with [verte] ('to see you') and [invitarte] ('to invite you').
