# Vos commands: hablá, comé, vení

> id: conjugation.imperative.vos · category: conjugation · depth: standard · levels: A2 · review: internally_reviewed

**Summary.** Drop the -r of the infinitive and stress the final vowel: hablar → hablá, comer → comé, venir → vení. Almost no irregulars: decí, hacé, tené, salí — only ser (sé) and ir (andá) resist.

In voseo regions (Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, much of Central America), the affirmative vos command is the infinitive minus -r, with a written accent on the final vowel: mirá, vení, escuchá, decime.

This makes vos commands more regular than tú commands: no stem changes (pensá, not *piensá; dormí), and the eight tú irregulars mostly vanish — vos says decí, hacé, vení, salí, tené, poné. Only ser (sé) and ir (suppleted by andá) stay irregular.

With attached pronouns the accent often disappears because stress lands naturally: levantate, sentate, decime, tomalo. Negative commands use the subjunctive, with regional variation between no hables and no hablés.

## Examples
- Vení un momento. — Come here a second. (vos)
- Decime qué pasó. — Tell me what happened. (vos)
- Andá tranquilo, yo cierro. — Go ahead, I'll close up. (vos)
