How to use decir in the affirmative commands
The tú command of decir is the short form di, which almost always takes pronouns: dime (tell me), dile (tell him), dímelo. Usted uses diga, often heard as "dígame" in shops and offices. Ustedes use digan. Negative commands come from the subjunctive: "No le digas nada." Because the bare form di is rare, expect to see it with attached pronouns.
Examples
Diga su nombre completo, por favor.
Please state your full name.
Digan lo que piensan sin miedo.
Say what you think without fear.
Dime qué necesitas para el lunes.
Tell me what you need for Monday.
