llévame a casa
/ʝebame a kasa/from spelling rules
In Spanish, 'take me home' is translated as llévame a casa.
This phrase is a request for someone to transport the speaker to their place of residence.
What does it mean word for word?
The phrase is composed of the verb llevar (to carry/take), the object pronoun me (me) and the prepositional phrase a casa (to home).
How does it change in a sentence?
The form llévame is the imperative (command) form of the verb llevar combined with the direct object pronoun me. When saying 'home' in this context, Spanish speakers do not typically use a possessive adjective like 'my' (mi). Instead, the phrase a casa is used rather than a mi casa.
Did you know?
- If you used the verb traeme instead of llévame, you would be asking the person to bring you to a home where they already are, rather than taking you away from your current spot.
- While casa means 'home', it also refers to a 'dynasty' or 'noble house' in historical contexts, similar to the English 'House of Windsor'.
- While 'take me home' sounds like a command in English, using llévame a casa in Spanish can sound quite blunt. To sound more polite, a speaker might say ¿Me llevas a casa? which turns the request into a question.
