pásame

Pásame is a Spanish command form formed by the verb pasar in the second-person singular imperative combined with the clitic pronoun me. It translates to “pass me” or “hand me” and is used to request that someone move an object to the speaker. The form is spelled with an acute accent on the first syllable (pásame) to indicate the correct stress when the pronoun me attaches.

In typical usage, it is followed by the object to be passed: “Pásame la sal,” or with a pronoun for the object: “Pásamelo” (pass it to me). Other pronouns modify the attached form: “Pásame esos papeles” or “Pásamela” (pass it to me, feminine). There are variations for formality, such as “¿Me podrías pasar…?” or “¿Podrías pasarme…?” to express politeness.

Pásame is common in informal conversation across Spanish-speaking regions, including Spain and Latin America. It is part of a broader set of imperatives that attach clitics to the end of the verb, requiring adjustment of spelling and accent marks to preserve stress.

Examples:

- Pásame la sal, por favor.

- Pásamelo cuando termines.
