Pásate

Pásate is the second-person singular imperative form of the Spanish verb pasar. It is used primarily as an informal invitation meaning “drop by,” “come over,” or “pass by,” depending on context. The accent on the a indicates the stress of the word, which follows standard Spanish accent rules for these imperatives.

The phrase is commonly used with places or occasions, as in examples like “Pásate por mi casa” (Come by my house), “Pásate un momento” (Take a moment), or “Pásate cuando puedas” (Stop by when you can). It is a casual expression typical of both Iberian and Latin American Spanish and appears in everyday conversation, informal writing, and advertising.

In popular culture, Pásate has been used as a title or refrain in songs and other media by Spanish-speaking artists, reflecting its colloquial and inviting sense. As a linguistic item, it exemplifies how the Spanish imperative combines with pronouns to create phrases that convey movement, presence, or invitation, often with a friendly or informal tone.

Related forms include pasarte, the form with an attached pronoun meaning “drop by” or “pass by for you,” and the verb pasar in its broader senses. The expression should be understood primarily as an invitation in casual speech, rather than a literal, physical action.
