Questions & Answers about No te enfades si me equivoco; todavía estoy aprendiendo.

Why is it No te enfades and not No te enfadas?

Because this is a negative command addressed to tú.

In Spanish, negative commands use the present subjunctive:

• No te enfades = Don’t get angry / Don’t be upset

Compare:

• Te enfadas = You get angry / You are getting angry
• No te enfades = Don’t get angry

A useful pattern:

• affirmative tú command: Enfádate
• negative tú command: No te enfades

So enfades is not describing what the person does; it is telling them what not to do.

What does enfadarse mean, and is it specifically Spanish from Spain?

• sometimes molestarse, depending on context

So in Spain, No te enfades sounds very natural.
