What is the Spanish translation of 'Don't touch me'?

• A. No me toques
• B. No me mires
• C. No me veas
• D. No me hablas

Answer: (A)

Forming negative tú commands in Spanish uses the present subjunctive form of the verb, and the object pronoun goes before the verb. For “touch,” the verb is tocar; in the present subjunctive for tú it becomes toques. When you want to tell someone not to do something to you, you place the pronoun me before the verb: No me toques. That directly translates to “Don’t touch me.” The other options describe different actions—watching, seeing, or speaking to me—so they don’t express touching.
