What does digas mean in spanish?

DIGAS comes from the verb "decir" which means "to say/to tell".

DIGAS is either a present subjunctive or a negative imperative (negative command). Both take the same conjugation (although the "I" form is never used as an imperative).

The conjugation is as follows:

yo

diga (I)

tú

digas (you)

él, ella, Usted

diga (he/ she/ it/ you formal)

nosotros

digamos (we)

vosotros

digáis (you plural)

ellos, ellas, ustedes

digan (they/ you plural formal)

DIGAS can be used for two reasons:

1) PRESENT SUBJUNCTIVE:

To express an element of uncertainty.

e.g. "Quiero que me lo DIGAS." - "I want you to tell me."

(I want you to, but I'm not certain that you will.)

"Espero que no le DIGAS nada" - "I hope you don't say anything to him (Again: I hope you wont say anything, but I don't know if you will.)

2) NEGATIVE IMPERATIVE:

To command somebody NOT to do something.

e.g. "No DIGAS eso a tu madre." - "Don't say that to your mother/Don't tell your mother that."

"¡No me DIGAS!" - "I don't believe it!" (literally means "Don't tell me!")
