Questions & Answers about Dame otro, por favor.

What does each part mean, grammar‑wise?

• Da: affirmative imperative of dar for tú (informal “give”).
• me: indirect object pronoun “to me.”
• otro: “another one” (masculine singular; the noun is understood from context).
• por favor: “please.”

Functionally: indirect object (me) + verb (da) + direct object (otro) + politeness marker (por favor).

Why is it Dame (one word) and not Da me?

In affirmative commands, object pronouns are attached to the end of the verb (enclitics): da + me → dame. In negative commands they go before the verb: No me des otro (“don’t give me another one”). With two pronouns, both attach: dámelo (“give it to me”); in the negative they go before: No me lo des.

Is this polite enough in Spain?

It’s direct. With a friendly tone and por favor, it’s normally fine among friends or in casual contexts. To sound softer with staff, many Spaniards prefer requests like:

• ¿Me pones otra, por favor?
• ¿Me trae otra, por favor? (if you’re seated and want it brought)
• ¿Me das otra, por favor? (softer than dame) Even more polite: ¿Podrías ponerme otra, por favor? Tone and context matter a lot.

Should I use dar, poner, or traer when ordering in Spain?
