Subject: imperative pronouns

 Voseo dialects of Spanish have a related phenomenon in that they
use tu forms for object pronouns: e.g. andate vos, o=ED lo que te esta
diciendo, etc. There is some vacilation re: prepositional & emphatic object
pronouns
e.g. voy con vos/voy contigo, te lo digo a vos/te lo digo a vos.
 I've heard many South American speakers, especially Chileans and
Colombians, use tuteo for indicative sentences and voseo for commands.
 This, of course, is due to tuteo's standard position.


Yours for better letters,
