Envíeme la ubicación, por favor.
When to use
This phrase is commonly used to ask someone to share their location, often through a messaging application, when arranging a meeting or needing directions to a specific place.
How it works
This phrase combines a formal imperative verb with an attached object pronoun and a direct object. This structure is common for polite requests.
- Envíe: The formal imperative (usted form) of the verb 'enviar' (to send). It functions as a direct command or polite request.
- -me: The indirect object pronoun 'me' (to me), attached directly to the imperative verb. This is a standard pattern for affirmative commands.
- la ubicación: The direct object, meaning 'the location'.
- por favor: A polite addition, meaning 'please', softening the request.
Reusable verb + clitic pattern
In affirmative imperative sentences, object pronouns like 'me', 'te', 'lo', 'la', 'le', 'nos', 'os', 'los', 'las', 'les' are always attached directly to the end of the conjugated verb. For example, 'Dígame' (Tell me), 'Cómprelo' (Buy it).
Register and formality
The verb form 'Envíeme' is an imperative form that addresses someone formally using 'usted'. Adding 'por favor' further emphasizes politeness. To make an informal request using 'tú', you would say 'Envíame la ubicación, por favor'.
Notes
Useful for meeting points. Polite and safe with strangers.
