Argentine Spanish from Scratch
66. How to GIVE ORDERS in Argentine Spanish! (Imperative, Grammar)
05 Oct 2025
Giving commands or instructions in Spanish can be tricky — especially in Argentina, where locals use vos instead of tú. In this episode, we dive into how Argentines really give orders, make requests, or tell someone what to do — without sounding rude or like a textbook.You’ll learn the basics of the imperative form with vos, hear real-life examples, and understand when to use a softer tone (like “decime” or “esperá un segundo”) versus a strong one (like “vení acá”).Whether you’re living in Buenos Aires, managing employees, or just trying to sound more natural with locals, this episode will help you master the Argentine way of giving orders — confidently and respectfully.
