Preguntarte
preh-goon-TAR-teh
To ask you
💬 [Preguntarte] is [preguntar] + [te], so Spanish can attach [you] to the end of the verb: [preguntarte] = [to ask you]. You'll see the same pattern in [decirte] ([to tell you]) or [ayudarte] ([to help you]).

Can I ask you something?
💬 Spanish often uses the full verb where English uses [do]: [¿Puedo preguntarte algo?] literally is [Can I ask-you something?], with no extra word for [do]. The [te] in [preguntarte] means [you].

Tell me
💬 [Dime] literally means [tell me], but in conversation it often works like [go ahead] or [what is it?]. It's the informal form, so with [usted] you'd say [dígame].
