which is correct regarde-me or regarde-moi. I see examples of regarde-la in the lesson so it would be a do pronoun but I have seen regarde-moi as well

Question

Accepted Answer

Hi Charlotte,
Regarde-me ! is incorrect but look at the following lesson for more examples:
https://french.kwiziq.com/revision/grammar/how-the-object-pronoun-me-becomes-moi-in-affirmative-commands-imperatif
Regarde-moi! = Look at me!
Attends-moi! = Wait for me!
Aide-moi! = Help me! 
Rappelle-moi! = Remind me!/ Call me back!
Me will be me in the negative commands like in the following examples :
Ne me regarde pas! = Don't look at me!
Ne m'attends pas! = Don't wait for me!
Ne m'aide pas! = Don't help me!
Ne me rappelle pas! = Don't remind me!

Answer

Charlotte,
In short, regarde-moi (look at me) is correct.
Regarde-la is also correct (look at it/her).
Check this lesson regarding the change from me to moi in the imperative: https://french.kwiziq.com/my-languages/french/view/718.

Answer

Hi Steve, Thanks for your answer but regarde-moi is with a stress pronoun but regarde-la is with a do pronoun. I am still confused as to why it wouldn't be regarde-me since me is the do pronoun. Thanks for any help

Answer

I understand the rule to be:
"When the pronouns me (me/to me) and te (you/to you) are after the verb (in the affirmative), they are replaced by the equivalent stress pronouns moi and toi.
In the negative (there is another lesson for this) me and te are used and appear before the verb."

It is what it is - just another part of the rich tapestry which is the French language.
Don't sweat it.
