Common Mistakes

  • Dejame confirmarlo.

    Missing accent on "déjame" changes the stress and makes the word incorrect.

  • Déjame confirmar lo.

    When the infinitive follows a verb, the pronoun should be attached to the infinitive, not separated.

  • Déjame me confirmarlo.

    The pronoun "me" is already part of "déjame"; adding it again is redundant.

Alternatives

  • Permíteme confirmarlo.

    Allow me to confirm it.

  • Voy a confirmarlo.

    I'm going to confirm it.

  • Déjame verificarlo.

    Let me verify it.

Cultural Tip

In most Spanish‑speaking countries "déjame" is friendly and polite, but in very formal business contexts you might prefer "permítame". Also remember that the attached pronoun "lo" refers to a masculine or neutral object; if you are confirming a feminine thing, use "la" (e.g., "déjame confirmarla").
