acompañar

to accompany

verb ah-kohm-pah-NYAHR Less Common

Usage Note

Acompañar covers going with a person physically as well as a musical sense ('to accompany on an instrument'). The reflexive is rarely used; instead, the verb naturally takes an object: te acompaño ('I'll come with you / I'll keep you company'). Que te acompañe la suerte is a common well-wishing phrase.

Examples

"¿Me acompañas al médico?"

Natural Translation

Will you come with me to the doctor?

Literal Translation

You-accompany to-me to-the doctor?
