✕Common Mistakes
Enumere claramente todos tus síntomas.
‘Enumere’ is the formal (usted) imperative; using it with a peer or a patient you address as ‘tú’ sounds overly stiff.
Enumera claramente tus todos síntomas.
Possessive adjectives precede other adjectives; the correct order is ‘todos tus síntomas’.
Enumera claramente todos tus sintomas.
The word ‘síntomas’ always carries an accent on the í; omitting it changes the spelling.
↔Alternatives

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, medical conversations tend to be polite yet straightforward. Adding ‘por favor’ before the command softens the tone (e.g., ‘Por favor, enumera…’). Also, patients often expect the professional to ask follow‑up questions like ‘¿Desde cuándo?’ (Since when?) after you list the symptoms.
